When to Have Your Brakes Checked
Regular brake inspections are essential to maintaining your vehicle’s safety and performance. We recommend having your brakes checked:
- During routine maintenance visits, such as oil changes or tire rotations.
- At least once a year as part of scheduled vehicle inspections.
- If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or hilly terrain, where brake wear is accelerated.
- Anytime you notice signs of brake problems, no matter how minor they may seem.
- Early detection of brake wear or damage can prevent costly repairs and keep you safe on the road.
Signs Your Brakes May Need Replacement
Be alert to the following warning signs, which may indicate it’s time for brake repair or replacement:
Squeaking or Squealing Noises: High-pitched sounds when braking often indicate worn brake pads.
Grinding Sounds: A harsh grinding noise could mean brake pads are completely worn, causing metal-on-metal contact.
Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal: A pedal that feels soft or sinks to the floor can signal air in the brake lines or fluid leaks.
Brake Warning Light: Illuminated brake or ABS warning lights on your dashboard should never be ignored.
Longer Stopping Distances: If your vehicle takes longer to stop, your brakes may be losing effectiveness.
Vibrations or Pulsations: Feeling vibrations through the pedal during braking can indicate warped rotors.
Pulling to One Side: Your car pulling to one side when braking may suggest uneven brake wear or caliper issues.
If you notice any of these symptoms, contact Aaron’s Automotive Towing & Repair promptly for a professional brake evaluation.
