Stopping Power Matters: 3 Urgent Signs You Need Brake Service Before the UAE Rain Hits
When a sudden rain hits Abu Dhabi, roads can become slippery in the span of a few minutes. Dust, oil residue, and moisture mix to create hazardous driving conditions, particularly if your brakes are weak.
During the wet season, at Liberty Car Care, we are experiencing a sharp increase in the number of issues related to brakes that people bring to us. Your brake system is not only for ease of use, but it is also about control, safety, and getting the necessary trust to drive on wet UAE roads.
It is here that we list three very urgent warning signs that are indicative of your vehicle requiring an immediate brake check even before the rains come.
1. Longer Stopping Distance on Wet Roads
If your vehicle is less efficient at stopping during a light rainfall or, after a wash, feels unresponsive, then it is most probably a case of worn brake pads.
Why is this important in the UAE rain:
- Wet roads instantly reduce tyre traction
- Worn brake pads lose grip faster
- Stopping distance gets longer in fact, it can double at highway speeds
It is very important to have the best brakes for wet roads in the UAE if you want to drive safely. At Liberty Car Care, we fit top-notch brake pads that are capable of delivering good performance both in wet and dry conditions.
Solution: Specialist brake pad change in Abu Dhabi to get back the stopping power and control.
2. Squealing, Grinding, or Steering Vibration
If the braking system produces strange noises or vibrations, it signifies an early stage of braking system wear.
Some of the most frequent reasons that we locate at Liberty Car Care include:
- Brake pads that have been worn out to extreme levels without safety limits being respected.
- Surface damage to the rotor
- Uneven braking pressure in the case of a wet road.
The rain is like a magnifying glass for these problems, as it causes the brake system to become less effective and the costs of repairs to increase in case of negligence.
Solution: A professional brake inspection will definitely keep your system from further damage and ensure that it is running smoothly and quietly.
3. Soft Brake Pedal or Contaminated Brake Fluid
Brake fluid is a hygroscopic material and will over time absorb moisture from the atmosphere. A humid climate such as Abu Dhabi would only speed up this process
Reasons why brake fluid of a long time is dangerous:
- The moisture reduces the effectiveness of the brakes.
- The brake pedal feels soft or spongy.
- The possibility of brake fade in a sudden stop is increased
If your brake pedal feels spongy or your fluid appears dark, it’s time for a brake fluid flush service.
Solution: Liberty Car Care guarantees clean, high-performing brake fluid for an uninterrupted stopping power even in the rain or wet road conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions – Brake Service in Abu Dhabi
1. How often should I check my brakes in Abu Dhabi?
Brakes must be checked in Abu Dhabi every 10000 to 15000 km or just before the rainy season. Liberty Car Care also advises a brake check if you hear noise, feel vibration, or if the brake stopping power is lessened.
2. Why are worn brakes more dangerous during UAE rain?
When roads are wet, tyre grip is already less. Worn brake pads and old brake fluid will lead to increased braking distance, thus, making it more difficult to control your vehicle during sudden rain or if you have to brake hard in an emergency.
3. When should I replace my brake pads?
Brake pads must be changed when the safe thickness limit is not met or if you hear a squealing or grinding noise. At Liberty Car Care, our technicians perform a complimentary brake inspection and assess the condition of your pads.
4. What does a brake fluid flush service do?
A brake fluid flush service takes out the moisture, contaminated fluid, and substitutes it with a fresh one. This helps to maintain the correct brake pressure and, thus, prevents brake fade which is very important in a humid place like the UAE.
