Brakes FAQS

Are your brakes trying to tell you something? Learn how to recognize warning signs, maintain braking performance, and know when it’s time for service.

Why are my brakes squeaking?

Squeaky brakes are often caused by moisture buildup, debris, or worn pads. If you hear grinding, it could indicate serious wear. Our technicians will inspect and fix the issue before it worsens.

How often should I have my brakes checked?

We recommend a brake inspection every six months or whenever you notice a change in braking performance. Routine checks help prevent costly repairs and keep you safe.

What are the warning signs that my brakes need servicing?

Watch for a soft or spongy brake pedal, vibration when braking, an ABS warning light, high-pitched squealing, grinding noises, or increased stopping distance.

Is it safe to drive with a brake warning light on?

No. A brake warning light may indicate worn brake pads, low fluid levels, or an ABS system issue. Driving with this light on can be dangerous—schedule an inspection as soon as possible.
