Your Safeguard Against Roadway Risks
​
-
Squealing or Squeaking: High-pitched noises while braking could indicate worn brake pads, demanding immediate attention.
-
Vibration or Pulsation: If your steering wheel or brake pedal vibrates during braking, it might be due to warped brake rotors.
-
Soft or Spongy Pedal: A pedal that sinks to the floor or feels spongy may signal air or moisture in the brake lines, hampering brake performance.
-
Pulling to One Side: If your vehicle veers to one side when braking, it could indicate uneven brake pad wear or brake fluid issues.
-
Dashboard Warnings: Ignoring dashboard brake warning lights is a risk. They can point to various issues, from low brake fluid to brake system imbalances.​
Your vehicle's brakes are the guardians of your safety on the road, ensuring you have the power to stop when needed. If you're encountering any of the following signs, it's time to consider professional brake services:
Education Matters: Understanding Brake Components
-
Brake Pads: These are the friction material that presses against the brake rotor, generating the stopping power. Worn pads reduce braking efficiency.
-
Brake Rotors: The flat metal discs your brake pads grip onto. Warped or worn rotors can compromise your ability to stop safely.
-
Brake Calipers: These house the brake pads and use hydraulic pressure to squeeze them against the rotors. Caliper issues can lead to uneven braking.
-
Brake Fluid: This hydraulic fluid transfers pressure from your brake pedal to the calipers. Low or contaminated fluid can lead to poor braking.
-
Brake Lines: Channels that transport brake fluid. Damaged lines can result in fluid leaks, leading to a loss of braking power.
