Signs Your Brakes May Need Attention

Recognizing the early signs of brake issues can prevent costly repairs and ensure your safety. Watch for these common indicators:

  • Squeaking or Squealing Noises: This usually indicates that your brake pads are worn and need replacement.
  • Grinding Sounds: Grinding noises may suggest that your brake pads are fully worn, causing metal-on-metal contact.
  • Vibrating or Pulsating Pedal: If you feel vibrations or pulsation in the brake pedal, it could signal warped rotors or other underlying issues.
  • Increased Stopping Distances: Longer stopping distances may point to inefficiencies in your brake system or issues with brake fluid.
  • Brake Warning Light: An illuminated brake warning light requires immediate attention to avoid safety risks.

Common Brake Concerns and Solutions

How Often Should You Replace Your Brakes?

Brake replacements vary depending on driving habits, road conditions, and vehicle type.

Our experts can develop a personalized maintenance plan tailored to your specific driving needs.

Common Causes of Brake Squeaking

  • Worn brake pads

  • Glazed pads or rotors
