Signs of Brake Problems

Recognizing the early signs of brake problems can prevent costly repairs and ensure your safety. Here are some common indicators that your brakes may need attention:

Squeaking or Squealing Noises: This often indicates worn brake pads that need replacement.
Grinding Sounds: A grinding noise suggests that the brake pads are completely worn out, and the metal is contacting the rotor.
Vibration or Pulsation: If you feel a vibration when applying the brakes, it could be a sign of warped rotors.
Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal: This may indicate air in the brake lines or a problem with the brake fluid.
Warning Light: If the brake warning light on your dashboard is illuminated, it's time for a brake inspection.

How to Know if Brakes Need Replacing

Determining when to replace your brakes is crucial for maintaining vehicle safety. Here are some guidelines to help you decide:

Brake Pad Thickness: Brake pads should be replaced when they are less than 1/4 inch thick.
Mileage: Generally, brake pads should be replaced every 30,000 to 70,000 miles, depending on driving habits and conditions.
Performance: If your vehicle takes longer to stop or the brakes feel less responsive, it's time for a check-up.
