3 Ways to Extend Your Brakes Life – Karachi Roads Edition

Your brakes are one of the most important safety features in your Changan, so keeping them in top condition is essential for a smooth, safe ride. Proper brake maintenance also helps you avoid costly repairs. At Changan South, we’ve put together these practical tips to help you extend the life of your brakes on Karachi’s unique roads.

1. Avoid Sudden Braking at High Speeds

Slamming on the brakes when driving at high speeds puts extra stress on your brake pads and rotors. This can lead to:

Overheating & Wear: High-speed braking increases the risk of brake failure.
Shaking or Vibrations: If you feel vibrations, it could be a sign that your rotors have warped from excessive heat.

Pro Tip: Gradually slow down and apply smooth, consistent pressure when braking. This will help reduce the strain on your braking system.

2. Keep Your Brake Discs Clean

The dust, dirt, and humidity in Karachi can cause rust to build up on your brake discs and rotors. This leads to quicker wear and tear.

Pro Tip:

Have your brakes cleaned during every routine maintenance check.
When you rotate your tires, also get your brakes inspected.

3. Change Your Brake Fluid on Time

Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which can reduce your car’s braking efficiency. Old brake fluid can cause:

Spongy Brake Pedal: Reduced braking response when you press the pedal.
Corrosion in Brake Lines: This can result in expensive repairs.

Pro Tip: Change your brake fluid every 4 years, or follow Changan’s recommendations for fluid replacement.
