Signs You Need Brake Repair or Replacement
Recognizing the signs of worn brake pads can help prevent accidents and costly repairs.
Here are some common indicators that your brake pads may need replacement:
- Squeaking or Squealing Noise: A high-pitched noise when applying brakes can indicate worn pads.
- Reduced Responsiveness: If your brakes feel less effective, it could be a sign of thin brake pads.
- Grinding Sound: A deep grinding sound suggests extreme wear that exposes the metal beneath the pads.
Continuously neglecting these warning signs may lead to severe brake system damage, potentially affecting other critical components, such as rotors and calipers. When left unattended, the reduced brake performance might not only compromise your safety but can also increase repair costs significantly. At Christian Brothers Automotive Mansfield, we encourage regular brake inspections, offering a structured maintenance schedule tailored to your vehicle's needs and the driving conditions in Mansfield.
