From my head on car repair
If your brake system was too tough, it could do damage to the wheel, which is not good for driving. So, brake repair is not the end of the world. Brakes just need occasional repair as does any other part of a functioning whole. Fortunately, your brakes have several indictators to alert you to the need for brake repair. If your brake fluid is leaking, then you should be looking into getting brake repair very soon.
