4 Signs That You Need Your Brakes Checked

Brakes may not be the sexiest part of a car, but they're certainly one of the most crucial. Paying attention to the warning signs that indicate a need for service can mean the difference between life and death on the road.

1 - Strange Sounds

One of the warning signs that your brakes need servicing can come from a small indicator in your braking system that emits a high-pitched squeal when your pads need replacing.

2 - Reduced Braking Effectiveness

If you've worn your brake pads down enough, there will be no longer enough friction between the brake pad and the rotor to stop the car effectively. If you notice your braking distance is reduced and you can hear a grinding sound when you apply the brakes, book your car in immediately.

3 - Pulling to the side

Has your car ever felt like it has a mind of its own? As if it wants to make right- or left-hand turns while driving or braking?
If so, this could indicate a problem with the braking system. The cause of this pulling might be a stuck caliper. Because such a scenario would cause friction on one wheel and not the others, your car can pull to the side where the caliper is stuck.

4 - Vibrations

If your brake pedal pulses or vibrates under normal braking circumstances (as apposed to ABS braking) you may find your car has warped rotors. The uneven surfaces of the rotor will thrum against the brake pads, and you'll feel the feedback through the brake pedal.

Book your vehicle in with our friendly team if you experience any of these symptoms and we will gladly inspect your vehicle.
