Gillingham is in the unitary authority area of Medway in Kent. Watling Street is a Roman Road that passes through the town, and the Medway Tunnel provides access to the M2 and Strood. Gillingham railway station is situated on the Chatham Main Line. Between 2018 and 2020, 52,425 potholes were reported in Kent, the highest in the UK. If you drive in Gillingham regularly, you should check your tyres for damage and keep up with a regular servicing schedule.
Since Gillingham is on the coast, cars in this area may experience a higher level of corrosion on key components, requiring them to be replaced more often. The bodywork starts to rust first; other parts most at risk include the brake callipers, nuts, and bolts. You can help to prevent this from happening by regularly washing your car, especially after a trip to the beach. Since rust spreads and eats away at metal components, it's best to get it fixed sooner rather than later. FixMyCar can help you find a bodywork specialist near Gillingham.
Your car's brake system is complex, consisting of pads, discs, callipers, brake fluid, ABS, rotors, a master cylinder, brake lines, backing plates and a handbrake. Many of these components wear down until you eventually must replace them.
Brake pads usually last between 20,000 and 60,000 miles, while brake discs last roughly 50,000 miles. Frequent harsh braking can considerably reduce the life of your car's brake system.
It can be challenging to tell what kind of car brake replacement or repair you need. An ABS fault, for example, will be indicated by a warning light on the dashboard. Alternatively, you might need to book a brake line repair if you notice your car pulling to one side.
There's no need to stress - A brake specialist will be able to tell you precisely what is wrong. Finding expert garages that work with genuine car parts has never been easier, thanks to FixMyCar.
