Whenever you press the brake petal, you should feel confident that your vehicle will come to a full stop.

With proper maintenance and regular check-ups, your brake system will function properly for years.

When do you need brake system service?

Scheduling brake system service at least once a year ensures they’re responsive. It also helps you avoid expensive replacements. Schedule an immediate brake check if you ever experience the following:

• Continuous squeaking, squealing, or grinding
• The anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning light comes on
• The car jerks or pulls to one side when braking
• The brakes have to be pumped to work properly
• The brake pedal feels unusually soft and spongy or hard
• Brake fluid is leaking around the wheels or engine compartment

As soon as you notice an issue, call for an appointment to solve the problem. This will ensure every drive is safe and help you avoid any extra expense.
