Worn Pads:
Your brake pad is the part of the brake that squeezes down on the rotor to bring the vehicle to a stop. If you see that it’s less than a quarter of an inch thick, it’s time for a replacement.
Loud Noises:
Unless you had to stop very quickly, your brakes shouldn’t be squealing, and they should almost never be grinding. Hearing that noise is a sign to come in for brake service.
Vehicle Pulling:
It’s true that your vehicle pulling to the left or right could be a sign of many different problems, like needing to have your wheels aligned. But it can’t hurt to have the brakes checked.
Vibrating Brake
Pedal: If you have anti-lock brakes and your brake pedal is pulsing during a fast stop, that’s not a problem – that’s a sign that the brakes are working as they should. However, if your brake pedal is vibrating in any other circumstances, bring the vehicle in for a checkup.
Temperamental Brake Pedal:
Your brake pedal should fall in the “Goldilocks zone.” It shouldn’t feel “mushy” or slow to respond, and it shouldn’t send the car screeching to a halt when you barely tap the pedal. Instead, it should be “just right.” If it isn’t, give us a call for brake service.
