Can I change the brake pads myself or does it need a garage for the electric hand brake?

Hello,

You can replace it yourself. We can even send you instructions to test and replace it if necessary, but is your vehicle still under warranty? Please get back to us and if it isn't we will send you the information right away.

Thanks,
Alex
