Brake Repair

There are common brake problems with common, well-known signs, such as a shaky steering wheel or a squeaky sound and we’ve all been there and know that’s an indicator for checking your brakes. However, there are many other – probably less obvious – signs your brakes may be showing which you don’t want to ignore.

Get a brake service inspection if:

• The brake pedal seems to be spongy or presses farther to the floor than usual
• Your vehicle pulls to the right or left when you brake
• Unusual noises or vibrations occur during braking
• You have grinding, squeaking or squealing brakes
• Your steering wheel is shaking
• Your car is wobbling or pulsating when you drive at highway speeds
• It’s been over a year or 12,000 miles since the last time your brakes were inspected
• You’re near or past the number of miles your vehicle’s manufacturer recommends between brake fluid exchanges
• The brake warning light on your dashboard comes on and stays on
• Your vehicle requires longer distances to stop than it used to
• The brake pedal responds slowly
• The brake pedal requires excess pressure
