Warning Signs: Does Your Vehicle Need Brake Service?

Don't ignore the signals your car is sending you. If you experience any of the following symptoms, it's a critical sign that you need a professional brake inspection immediately.

  • Squeaking or Squealing Noises:
    This high-pitched sound is often the first sign. It's caused by a small metal indicator built into your brake pads, telling you they are worn down and nearing the end of their service life.
  • Grinding or Growling Sounds:
    This is a serious warning. A deep, grinding metal-on-metal sound means your brake pads are completely worn away, and the metal backing plate is now scraping against the brake rotor, causing significant damage.
  • Spongy or Soft Brake Pedal:
    If your brake pedal feels mushy or goes closer to the floor than usual, it could indicate air in the brake lines, a fluid leak, or a problem with the master cylinder.
  • Vibrating or Pulsating Sensation:
    A shaking in your steering wheel or a pulsing in the brake pedal when you apply the brakes usually means your rotors have become warped or worn unevenly.
  • Vehicle Pulling to One Side:
    If your car pulls to the left or right when you brake, it can signal a problem with a stuck brake caliper, a collapsed brake hose, or unevenly worn brake pads.
  • Dashboard Brake Light:
    A red or yellow brake warning light on your dashboard is a clear indication that the system has detected a problem that requires immediate professional attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my brakes inspected?

We recommend a professional brake inspection at least once a year or every time you have your tires rotated. This allows our technicians to spot wear and address potential issues before they become serious problems.

What's the difference between resurfacing and replacing rotors?

If your rotors are only slightly warped or have minor wear, they can often be resurfaced—a process where a thin layer is machined off to restore a flat, smooth surface. If the rotors are too thin, heavily grooved, or severely warped, they must be replaced to ensure safety.

Don't Compromise on Your Safety

Your brakes are too important to trust to anyone but the experts. Protect yourself, your passengers, and other drivers by ensuring your brake system is in top condition.
