Signs It's Time to Have Your Brakes Checked
Brakes rarely fail without warning. If your vehicle is doing any of the following, it’s a good idea to bring it in for a quick look.
Squealing or Grinding Noises
A high-pitched squeak usually means your brake pads are running low. If you start hearing a harsh, metallic grinding noise, the pads are completely gone and are starting to damage your rotors.
A Spongy Pedal or Shaking
If the brake pedal feels soft or sinks easily to the floor, you might have air or a leak in the lines. A steering wheel or pedal that shakes when you slow down points to warped rotors.
Pulling to One Side
If your car pulls left or right when you apply the brakes, you could be dealing with a stuck caliper or uneven pad wear. It's a clear sign your braking power isn't hitting the road evenly.
