How Do I Know When My Vehicle Needs Brake Services?

There are warning signs for past their prime brakes, including an indicator light located on your dashboard.

Other things to look for include:

• Screeching, grinding, or clicking noises when applying the brakes
• Vehicle pulling to one side while braking
• The brake pedal nearly touches the floor before engaging
• Having to apply extreme pressure to the pedal before brakes engage
• Brake pedal grabbing at the slightest touch to the pedal
• Brake pedal vibrating or pulsating, even under normal braking conditions
• Steering wheel shaking from side to side when braking from high speeds

The brake system is one of the most important safety features on your vehicle, and it is critical that it is in good working condition at all times. The brake fluid is responsible for transmitting the force from the brake pedal to the brake calipers, which then apply pressure to the brake pads, which in turn press against the rotors or discs to slow down or stop the vehicle.

As the brake pads wear down, they become less effective at stopping the vehicle, and the rotors or discs can become worn or damaged as well. If the brake fluid becomes dirty or contaminated, it can also cause issues with the brake system. That's why regular brake maintenance is so important. By having your brake system inspected, maintained, and repaired as needed, you can help to keep your vehicle running safely and avoid costly repairs down the road.
