Your brakes are one of the most important safety systems on your vehicle. If they feel or sound different, it is worth getting them checked.
One common warning sign is squeaking. Some brake noise can be minor, but new or constant squeaking may mean your brake pads need attention.
Grinding is more serious. If you hear grinding when you brake, schedule service as soon as possible.
Other signs your brakes may need service include:
- Shaking when braking
- A soft brake pedal
- A brake pedal that feels too firm
- Pulling to one side
- Longer stopping distance
- A brake warning light
- Burning smell after braking
- Brake pedal vibration
Do not wait if your brakes feel different than normal. Brake concerns can get worse and may affect your ability to stop safely.
A brake inspection can help check your brake pads, rotors, fluid, and other related parts. It can also help you understand whether you need service now or if your brakes are still in good condition.
