One of the most important parts on the vehicle is the brake system. It is recommended to have the vehicle maintained on a regular schedule so that it is in the most efficient condition possible. If you notice any odd sounds, noises, or that your vehicle is handling differently, make sure to bring your vehicle in as soon as possible. By inspecting the issue while it is small can help prevent a large and costly repair bill. There may be some noticeable signs that will indicate the brakes will need to be inspected soon.

 

There can also be issues with the brakes if you hear a grinding noise as you use them. These noises could mean that the brake system may need adjusting. It could also be a sign that parts have begun to wear and will need to be replaced soon. The grinding noises are more serious than the squeaking. It could indicate that the brake pads have worn down and may need to be replaced.

 

If the brake warning light or antilock brake system warning light illuminates on your dashboard, make sure to bring your vehicle in. It could mean the problem is low brake fluid in the reservoir. If there is low or no fluid, it generally means there is a leak somewhere in the brake line of the vehicle. If the lights start flashing, it is recommended to pull over safely and stop the vehicle.

 

Another sign that might indicate poor brakes is if the vehicle pulls to one side or the other when you apply the brakes. It may mean that the brakes are poorly adjusted and will need to be inspected. It could also be a sign of brake fluid leaking in the system. Another reason could mean that the brakes are worn out or damaged and will need to be replaced. Bring the vehicle in and we can inspect the brake system for you.
