What You Need to Know

Even though you probably don’t consider yourself a brake expert (You have us for that!), there are signs you can observe that should prompt you to get your brakes inspected. Perhaps your first clue will be the ABS light showing itself on your dashboard. You might also detect a burning odor. This is common if you accidentally left the parking brake engaged or if you have a stuck brake caliper. If your brake pads are worn beyond their usable life (minimum of 2/32″), you may hear grinding, squealing, or squeaking. The higher-pitched noises are often caused by a built-in safety alert feature. When the metal pads wear too thin, they expose metal tabs designed to rub such that they send out a screeching alert for attention. Your vehicle could vibrate when you apply brakes or notice your vehicle pulling to one side. These symptoms can have several underlying causes, so our ASE-certified technicians will need to check your automobile to be sure. Finally, a marked increase in stopping distances should send you for brake repair. It’s vital to keep your brakes in good operating condition with service and repair. The braking system uses scientific principles (hydraulic force and friction) to stop your auto with minimal human exertion. When you touch the brake pedal, brake fluid is forced from the master cylinder through hoses to a cylinder at each wheel. The fluid force moves the calipers of disc brakes, forcing the brake pads against the rotors to slow your car. (If your older auto or the rear wheels of your newer model have drum brakes, brake shoes rub against a drum inside the wheel.)
