Hello Samantha, maintaining your brakes is crucial for the safety of yourself and others on the road. Firstly, check the brake fluid level in the reservoir and top up if needed. Then, inspect the brake pads and replace them if they are worn out. Additionally, bleeding the brake system can help remove air bubbles and improve brake performance. It is also recommended to have your brakes checked regularly by a mechanic.

Hi Samantha, spongy brakes can be caused by air in the brake lines or worn out brake pads. Start by bleeding the brake system to remove any air bubbles, and if the issue persists, it may be time to replace the brake pads. It is also important to regularly check the condition of your brake rotors and replace them if necessary.

Hi Samantha, a common cause of spongy brakes is moisture in the brake fluid. Flushing the brake system with new fluid can solve this issue. It is also important to replace the brake fluid every 2 years to maintain the effectiveness of your brakes. Remember, maintaining your brakes is crucial for your safety on the road.
