Car Brake Service

Ensure reliable stopping power in any weather. We inspect, repair, and replace brake pads, rotors, and service electronic ABS / ESP modules using genuine Bosch parts.

Certified Braking System Maintenance

Brakes Service

Brakes are your vehicle's most vital safety component. High-performance braking systems must withstand extreme friction and temperature. Standard workshops often fit low-grade pads that wear quickly and damage rotors. As an authorized Bosch partner, Vellore Auto Garage fits manufacturer-compliant parts using specialized caliper reset tools and diagnostics scanners.

What is Included:

  • Brake Pad & Disc Replacement: Replacing worn friction elements with authentic Bosch brake pads and high-durability ventilated rotors.
  • Rotor Lathe Resurfacing: Restoring uneven brake disc surfaces to eliminate steering wheel vibration and pulse feedback.
  • Brake Fluid Flush: Siphoning degraded brake fluid and replacing it with premium Bosch DOT 4 fluid to remove moisture.
  • ABS & Traction Calibration: Electronic diagnostic resets for speed sensors, hydraulic distribution units, and electronic stability systems (ESP).

Common Warning Signs:

Do not compromise on safety. Get your braking system checked if you notice:

  • High-pitched squealing or metal-on-metal grinding noises when braking.
  • The car pulls to one side or the brake pedal feels spongy/soft.
  • Vibrations or pulsing in the steering wheel or brake pedal during stops.
  • The dashboard ABS warning light or brake fluid indicator stays lit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should car brake pads be replaced?
Brake pads typically last between 30,000 and 70,000 km depending on driving style and traffic. Bosch recommends having your brake pads inspected during every routine service or every 10,000 km.
What causes brakes to make squealing or grinding noises?
Squealing noises are usually caused by worn brake pad wear indicators rubbing against the disc. Grinding noises indicate that the friction material is completely gone, causing metal-on-metal wear that can destroy your brake rotors.
How often should brake fluid be changed?
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture from the air, which lowers its boiling point and reduces braking efficiency. Bosch recommends replacing the brake fluid every 2 years or 40,000 km.
What does the dashboard ABS warning light mean?
The ABS light indicates a fault in your anti-lock braking system electronics or speed sensors. While normal mechanical brakes will still function, the safety skid-prevention system is inactive. You should get a diagnostics check immediately.
