Have you ever experienced the odd sensation that something is off when you use the brakes? Without a doubt, you are not alone. If your car or van is showing any of these signs, it might be time for a brake repair.
Grinding Noises
Grinding noises could mean the pads are completely worn, potentially damaging the rotors.
Vibrations
If you feel a vibration or pulsing through the brake pedal or steering wheel when braking, it could mean warped rotors.
Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal
A soft or spongy pedal can be a sign of air in the brake lines or a problem with the brake fluid.
Longer Stopping Distances
If your car takes longer to stop, the brake pads may be worn out or there could be a problem with the brake system.
Brake Warning Light
If the brake light on your dashboard is illuminated, it’s signaling a problem that needs immediate attention.
Pulling to One Side
If your vehicle pulls to one side when braking, this could indicate uneven brake pad wear, a stuck caliper, or brake fluid issues.
Leaking Brake Fluid
Low brake fluid levels can compromise braking power. Leaks often mean a problem with the master cylinder or brake lines.
Clicking or Clunking Noises
Clicking sounds when braking may suggest loose brake components.
