A customer brought his Renault Master 2.3 CDI (year of manufacture 2022) to the Savtrans Berlin garage for a scheduled inspection. It turned out that it was time to have the brake discs and brake pads replaced.

You can tell brake discs are worn by a few things: * **Grinding or squealing noises** when braking. * **A pulsating sensation** through the brake pedal when you apply the brakes. * **Visible wear marks** on the disc surface, such as grooves or scoring. * **A reduced braking effect**, meaning it takes longer to stop. * **A raised rim** at the outer edge of the disc where the brake pad doesn't reach.
- Master Oleg initially carried out a thorough visual inspection on the lifting platform. The result: brake discs and pads no longer met safety standards.
4 Warning Signs: When do brake discs need replacing?
- Visible wear on discs or pads
- Squealing or screeching when braking
- Juddering or vibrations when braking
- Noticeably weaker braking effect



Here's how brake replacement works in our workshop
Our master mechanic Oleg initially removed the wheels and brake caliper, took out the old brake pads, and dismantled the worn-out brake discs. Afterwards, all parts were reassembled in reverse order. After a test drive, the result was clear: no squeaking, no vibrations – the vehicle brakes perfectly again.

How often should brake discs be replaced?
Experts recommend checking brake discs every 70,000 to 100,000 km. Under heavy use – for example, with heavy vans like the Renault Master – an earlier replacement may be necessary. Brake pads generally wear out faster and should be checked every 30,000 to 50,000 km.
At our Savtrans Berlin car workshop, we check your brakes quickly and reliably.
