Signs You Need Brake Service
Your vehicle's braking system is vital for your safety on the road. Recognizing early warning signs can prevent costly repairs and ensure your vehicle operates safely.
Common indicators that your brakes may need attention include:
- Unusual Noises: Squealing or grinding sounds when braking often signal worn brake pads or debris between the pads and rotor.
- Vibrations: Feeling vibrations through the steering wheel or brake pedal can indicate warped rotors or issues with the brake system.
- Pulling to One Side: If your car pulls to one side when braking, it could be due to uneven brake pad wear or a problem with the braking system.
- Soft or Spongy Pedal: A brake pedal that feels soft or sinks to the floor may suggest air in the brake lines or a fluid leak.
- Warning Lights: Illuminated brake warning lights on your dashboard should be addressed promptly, as they indicate potential issues with the braking system.
Regular brake inspections are crucial for detecting these issues early. Christian Brothers Automotive Garland offers free visual brake inspections, even during routine oil changes, to ensure your braking system is in top condition.
