Professional Brake Repair Near You
Most drivers agree that the braking system is one of the most important safety features on a vehicle. However, some of those same motorists need to get the brake services their automobiles require.

Recognizing When It’s Time for Brake Work
It’s best practice for you to bring your vehicle in for periodic preventive maintenance, allowing us an opportunity to inspect your brakes for you. Between visits, however, there are some noticeable signs that should prompt you to schedule an appointment with us for brake repair. We’d like to share some information with you so that you can recognize the need for service, keeping yourself and others safe. An obvious indicator is an illuminated dashboard brake light. If you see this, check to be sure you didn’t accidentally leave the emergency/parking brake engaged. If not, it’s time for a service visit. Also, if you begin to hear squealing as you apply brakes, it’s likely time to change the brake pads. These components are good for many stops but won’t last forever. When they wear too thin, most are designed with a feature that makes noise to alert you. Also, if you detect a grinding or wobbling sensation as you brake, there could be a problem with your rotors (discs). A spongy feeling pedal or one that sinks too low to the floor might point to a loss of brake fluid. We’ll need to check the fluid level and look for potential leaks. And, of course, schedule an appointment if you notice that you need a longer distance to make stops than before.
