WARNING
SIGNS OF A BRAKE PROBLEM
If at any time you have an indication of a brake problem, bring your
car in right away for an inspection. We care about your safety. That's
why we offer a free brake inspection
Squealing
noise: If your brakes are making a high pitch noise or grinding
sounds, it may be telling you its time for repairs.
Pulling: when your car is pulling from one side to another while braking it could
be anything from a sticking caliper, worn disc hardware, bad brake hose,
miss adjusted brakes or even low tire pressure or other safety components.
Shaking
/ Vibration: If you feel a shaking/vibration coming from the
steering wheel, brake pedal or the entire vehicle when the brakes are
applied, may indicate a warped surface on your brake rotors or drums
and may need to be serviced.
Brake
Light: When your brake indicator light comes on it is an indication
of a problem and it could be a serious one. This could lead to brake
failure.
Low
Pedal: This condition could be signs of something simple or
serious. A brake pedal that almost touches the floor before the brakes
work could just indicate a need for an adjustment or could be the sign
of failing components.
Hard
Pedal: Hard pedals often indicate damaged brake linings, power
brake trouble or other problems.
ABS
Light on: This could be anything from low brake fluid to a
bad component which could be a minor to a serious problem, but in most
case it will only cause your Anti lock brake system to stop working
and your regular brakes to work which will allow to be able to go into
a skidding stop on emergency braking.
Grab: If your brakes grab with the slightest touch you may have something
loose in your brake system. Then again, it could indicate something
in the linings of your brakes such as grease or oil contamination.
