Do I Need Repairs?

Pay attention to how well your brakes respond to the pedal when driving. You may have a brake issue if you notice a lag in response or if your vehicle doesn’t slow quickly enough. In addition, if you notice any unusual sounds or smells, from grinding or squealing sounds to burning odors or even visible smoke, your brake system needs attention immediately.

Problems with your brakes can also show themselves by causing violent vibrations in the steering wheel while slowing. Finally, many vehicles are equipped with a brake light, which indicates issues with the brake system that must be addressed immediately.

Essential Maintenance

Worn-out brake pads commonly cause a problem with your brake system. Brake pads do a difficult job, physically applying the pressure to the axle that brings the car to a stop, which leads them to need to be replaced regularly.

Your brake fluid may also be either low or clogged. Other common brake repairs include servicing the rotors or replacing the master cylinder, both of which can be worn down by the force of braking.
