Handbrake Repair

Experiencing signs that you may need handbrake repair?

The handbrake is an easily forgotten but important component of a car. As a driver in Singapore, you would often find yourself driving up a multi-storey carpark. While waiting for the gantry to open, many of us would engage our handbrakes. Once this opens, we usually retain the handbrake first, until the depressed accelerator gains sufficient moment to move the car forward to avoid back-sliding. If you have found that the handbrake does not seem to stop your car from sliding, it would be essential to get handbrake repair.

Can flushing be done

How it works

The handbrake cable, usually made of steel, is the mechanical tool for engaging the braking powers. Commonly, the cable engages the lever for the drum brakes when engaged.

An alternative system is the electric brakes, which uses electric motors to operate the brakes.

Common causes of car condenser malfunction

Common signs of handbrake problems

  • A sign that your handbrake has worn out is when you find the braking ability impaired. Your car may be continuing to roll down a slope even after the handbrake is engaged.
  • If the handbrake light stays engaged even when you have released the handbrake, the cable could be jammed up. You may then be driving with the handbrake still engaged.
Gearbox overhaul procedure

Common handbrake repairs needed

We would first carry out an assessment of the type of handbrake system you have, whether this is electric or cable operated:

  • For cables, for a jammed cable, we would assess if lubricant to the cable and levers would suffice.
  • Broken cables would need replacement.
  • For electric systems, we would check the functioning of the electric motors.

While carrying out handbrake repair services, we would also assess the brake drums and pads functions to ensure your utmost safety.

Testimonials

After my free servicing period for my car, I thought it was time to look out for better priced alternatives. I gave ECV Car Service Singapore a call and tried out their service. It was a hassle free experience and good value. - Kenneth Chin, Buona Vista

I had a tire leak caused by a puncture after driving over some construction debris. ECV Car Service Singapore could fix this up for me so I don't need to spend on a new tire. Friendly workshop! - Mr K.T. Liew, Redhill

My car aircon was not functioning and I was not sure what the cause was. I initially brought my car to the dealer workshop and was told the compressor is down. But the price quoted for the compressor replacement was so high. I then gave ECV Car Service Singapore a call, and the price turned out to be much lower, and quality of service good. Thumbs up! - Joel Tan, Bukit Batok
