Signs Your Brakes Need Repair

Knowing how to recognize signs of brake wear can help to keep your vehicle safe and save you time and money in the long term. Here are a few indications that your brakes need to be repaired or replaced:

  • Your Brakes Aren’t Working Properly: If you notice that your vehicle is struggling to come to a complete stop or that the stopping distance on your vehicle is getting longer, that’s a good indication that your brake pads are beginning to wear down and that it’s time for a replacement.
  • You Hear Squealing or Grinding: You always want to schedule vehicle service if your car starts making strange or unusual sounds, and your brakes are no exception. Squealing and grinding mean that the brake pads have worn down and the metal is beginning to rub, which needs to be addressed right away.
  • Your Car Pulls When Braking: When a vehicle pulls to one side during the braking process, it’s a sign that your brakes are wearing down unevenly. This may indicate something more serious and should be inspected as soon as possible.
  • Your Owner’s Manual Says So: Brake pads need to be replaced between 30,000-60,000 miles, depending on your vehicle and type of driving. If you notice that the scheduled service time is coming up, plan an appointment with our expert team.
