Frequently asked questions about a ABS brakes repair

If ABS brakes fail, the wheels may lock up during braking. This can cause a loss of control and be very dangerous, especially on slippery surfaces.

No. The ABS warning light indicates a problem with the braking system and driving is not recommended. It's important to have it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible.

ABS stops the wheels from locking up during braking – this enhances control and reduces stopping distances. Normal breaks don’t have this feature.

Having to emergency break is never good, but if it happens, your ABS system will improve vehicle control and safety. This makes it an important safety feature of your vehicle.

The cost to repair ABS brakes depends on the vehicle and the extent of the repair.

If the ABS warning light stays on, get your car checked by a mechanic as soon as possible. This light signals a problem with the system and should be looked at as a priority.

ABS brakes should be inspected as part of your regular service – every 12,000 miles or 12 months.

Yes, ABS brakes can be repaired. The repair may involve replacing faulty sensors, the ABS control module, or other components.

A broken ABS sensor could affect the performance of your braking system, so it’s advisable to get it checked and repaired before driving.

If your ABS is left un-fixed, it can lead to loss of control during braking, increased stopping distances, and a higher risk of accidents.

Don’t attempt to fix your ABS brakes yourself. They are complex and should be repaired by a professional mechanic.

ABS repairs may be included in your warranty, depending on the terms. Check with your warranty provider to see if they are included.
