Signs You Need Brake Repairs

When it comes to your brakes, you don’t want to ignore any potential issues. But to know if you have a problem, you must know what to look for.

The most common sign something is wrong is if you hear a squealing sound every time you apply the brakes. Brake pads have metal tabs inside that gradually become exposed as the pads wear down. This brake wear indicator eventually comes into contact with the rotor, creating the high-pitched sound of metal on metal. Once this happens, it’s time to replace your brake pads.

If your car vibrates each time you hit the brake pedal, you should also have that looked at. This typically happens because the rotors are warped or out of balance. However, worn/dirty brake pads and brake caliper issues can also cause it. 

Perhaps the most concerning issue is if your car doesn’t stop as quickly as it should. If you notice a loss in brake performance, the brake pads may be too worn out, or you could even have low brake fluids (possibly caused by a leak).

No matter what symptoms you experience, you shouldn’t leave them unchecked. Visit our shop and let our master mechanics get your brakes back in top shape.
