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.
