Signs Your Brakes Need Repairs
Addressing brake issues promptly can prevent minor problems from becoming major repairs. Knowing the signs of brake wear and tear can help you act before it’s too late:
- Squeaking or Squealing Noises: High-pitched noises when braking often indicate worn brake pads that require replacement.
- Vibration When Braking: If your vehicle vibrates when braking, it could mean warped rotors or other mechanical issues.
- Grinding Sensation: This usually indicates extreme wear, suggesting the immediate need for brake service to avoid rotor damage.
- Soft Brake Pedal: A pedal that feels soft or sinks towards the floor could signal air in the brake lines or fluid leaks.
Routine checks and timely interventions can significantly enhance the lifespan and efficiency of your vehicle's braking system. Our comprehensive inspection includes detailed assessments of brake pad thickness, rotor surface condition, and brake fluid levels to catch potential issues early.
