How to Tell When Your Brakes Need Maintenance
Smooth and responsive braking help you keep yourself and others on the road safe. Whether you unexpectedly need to stop quickly or are just cruising around, brakes are a critical part of your drive. Be on the lookout for any of these warning signs that indicate your brakes need service:
- Unusual noises while braking: high pitched squeaking or grinding noises can indicate that your brake pads are worn out.
- Longer braking distance: worn brake pads or low fluid can hinder your vehicle’s ability to brake making it take longer for you to reach a full stop.
- Soft brake pedal: leaks or air bubbles can affect the pressure behind the brake pedal, making it feel soft when pressing resulting in a longer brake time.
- Unusual smell while braking: without proper brake fluid, you may notice a burning smell while braking from the parts rubbing together.
If you notice any of these signs of declining brakes, it is vital that you schedule service as soon as possible. Quick service ensures your vehicle does not undergo any further damage. You can conveniently schedule a service appointment online and we will take care of the rest.
