Neglecting your brakes can cost you big time!

These are photos of a customers brakes that have been totally neglected & destroyed & resulted in the customer having an accident as the brakes (or more to the point, worn out & missing brakes ) could not stop the car in time before they hit the car in front. There is absolutely no excuse for this, the car should have had its brakes checked regularly at services & repaired as necessary along time before this happened & the customer should have stopped driving the car & taken it to a mechanic a long time before it got to this stage as the brake pads were totally ground away to nothing, the brakes would have been making a hideous grinding noise for weeks before & they could have saved themselves from having a costly accident not to mention possibly dangerous accident. This highlights the importance of regular maintenance & servicing.
