Ensuring the safety of your vehicle begins with maintaining its most critical safety feature: the brakes. Regular brake checks are crucial for safe driving and can prevent costly repairs down the line.

The brake system is composed of various components including the brake pads, rotors, calipers, and brake fluid. Each plays a vital role in bringing your vehicle to a stop.

Warning Signs That Your Brakes Need Attention

Squealing, grinding, or clicking noises are often the first sign that your brake pads or rotors need attention.

If your brake pedal feels 'spongy' or you need to press it further than usual, it may indicate a problem with your brake system.

A vehicle that pulls to one side when braking could be experiencing uneven wear on brake pads or issues with the brake fluid.

Vibrations or pulsating sensations when applying the brakes can be a sign of warped rotors.

An illuminated brake warning light on your dashboard should never be ignored and indicates that your brake system requires immediate attention.

Leaking brake fluid is a serious issue that can lead to brake failure and should be addressed immediately.

Brake Maintenance Tips

Brake inspections should be a part of your regular vehicle maintenance schedule, typically every 10,000 miles or at least once a year.

While some brake checks can be done at home, such as inspecting for wear on pads or checking fluid levels, it's important to have your brakes inspected by a professional for a comprehensive assessment.

Professional brake service ensures that all components of your brake system are functioning correctly and safely. Technicians can spot issues that may not be apparent to the untrained eye.
