BRAKES

On today's congested roads, stop/start driving places huge demands on brakes so it's no surprise that they deteriorate over time. But because it happens gradually, many people don't notice the difference. If ignored this deterioration can become more and more dangerous - especially on more powerful, high-performance cars. So, for safety and peace of mind it makes sense to have your brakes checked regularly.
