When to Schedule Brake Repair

Importance of Car Brakes

Your car's brakes use friction to help slow your vehicle down to a complete stop, using parts such as:

• Brake pads
• Brake fluid
• Brake rotors

Sitting in the driver's seat, you press down on the brake pedal whenever you're ready to slow down. In response, the brake fluid is activated, putting pressure on the brake pads, pushing them against the rotors, and safely slowing speed.

All the working parts of your car's braking system need to function together for you to enjoy safe starts and stops around town. So, keeping up with the health of your car's brakes is essential.

When to Schedule Brake Repair

Pay attention to possible symptoms that it's time to come in for brake repair. Symptoms may include:

• Spongey brakes. If there's a delay when you press down on the pedal or you feel a spongey resistance, this can be a sign that the braking system needs maintenance.
• Car vibration. If the braking system is uneven in some way, you can feel vibrating from the car itself to the steering wheel.
• Squeaks and squeals. Squeaky brakes likely have brake pads that are starting to wear out; pay attention to loud squeals, like tearing metal, as this could indicate you need new brake pads ASAP.
• Fluid leaks. The braking fluid helps keep the braking system lubricated, so if you notice a leak, bring your model in for repair.
