Motorists in Sutton and the surrounding Banstead, Carshalton, Cheam, Morden and Worcester Park areas may notice a series of different characteristics as the brakes start to fail. Modern cars may also display a dashboard warning light to indicate pad wear. Listen carefully for squealing, squeaking and rubbing noises, or the smell of burning when slowing or stopping.
Other key indicators for brake repairs include vibrations, sponginess of the pedal when pressed, leaking fluids and bouncing during short stopping. Worn brakes and braking components also cause cars to veer to one side as they come to a halt.
Never disregard any of these signs. Book in for car repairs immediately with the friendly team at Church Hill Motors – established as far back as 1957.
Loose, sticky and spongy pedals point towards worn clutches, as do squeaking or grumbling noises when pressed. Look for difficulty in changing gear too, especially if you notice poor acceleration when revving the engine. Slipping is another indicator of worn clutches. We strongly advise that you book in for clutch repairs at the earliest opportunity, or you run the risk of a damaged engine and gearbox that costs significantly more to repair.
Our workshop in Sutton can inspect clutches for motorists in the surrounding Banstead, Carshalton, Cheam, Morden and Worcester Park areas, and will provide an accurate evaluation of the repair work required.
Typically, clutches last for between 50,000 and 100,000 miles of use but your driving characteristics, particularly in busy towns and cities, can cause them to wear much sooner. We are here to help our South West London and Surrey customers when problems occur, and to perform clutch repairs to current manufacturer standards no matter which make or model they own.
