Brake advice
How do I know when my brakes need to be repaired or replaced?
Knowing when your brakes need to be repaired can be confusing that is why we like to educate our customers and give you common warning signs that your brakes need attention.
Brake Warning Signs
GRAB
“Touchy” brakes that grab with the least amount of pressure.
DRAG
Sticking brakes, hot wheels or engine, which seems to have lost power.
SQUEAL
Some brake noise is normal; however, constant groaning, grinding or squealing is not.
LOW PEDAL
Pedal nearly touches the floorboard before brakes function.
HARD PEDAL
Requires an extreme amount of pressure to make brakes function.
VIBRATION
Brake pedal, steering wheel or entire vehicle shakes, vibrates or pulses when brake is applied.
MILEAGE
Brakes are “out of sight, out of mind.” Remember yours at least once a year, even if none of the above symptoms are present.

Emergency brake is on, low brake fluid or a drop in Hydraulic pressure.
