Do You Need New Brakes?
You might be wondering if it's time for new brakes, or maybe you can't recall the last time you had your brakes replaced. The average driver requires new rotors and pads every 50,000 miles—but this varies greatly depending on your driving habits. The best way to ensure that your brakes are sound is to stop by one of our shops today. However, you must also keep an eye out for signs that it's time for a repair.
Signs Your Brakes May Be Failing
If you experience any of the signs below, we urge you to stop by for an inspection as soon as possible. The longer you wait to have an essential repair completed, the more costly your damage can be—and when it comes to your brakes, the less control you will have over your vehicle. A few signs that your brakes may be failing include:
- Squealing or grinding when you brake.
- If your vehicle pulls to one side when you brake, a hose is going bad or one caliper is working harder than the other.
- If your brake pedal vibrates when braking, it may be a sign that your rotors are worn down.
