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.

How Often Should You Replace Your Brakes?
