Brake System Repair & Maintenance; What is the Process

Simply put, brakes are what make your car stop and. More importantly, your brakes help keep you, your family, and everyone around you safe. Proper brake system repair and maintenance of your automotive braking system will help you avoid accidents as well as costly repairs. Additionally, you should have your brake system checked every time you have your tires rotated and brake system repair handled by certified professionals when needed.

Here are some warning signs that you need to have your brakes serviced:

• A high pitched squealing sound.

  This is a safety feature on modern brakes to let you know the pads are wearing thin and need to be replaced.  A sure sign that you need brake system repair work before things get worse.

• Sounds of grinding metal.

  This means that the pads have been completely worn out and need to be replaced immediately to avoid damage to other parts of the brake system.  This is a sign that you need brake system repair, and you need attention quickly or you will destroy your rotors, a much more expensive brake system repair process.

• Lowered responsiveness and fading.

  Air in the brakes lines or leaking fluid will cause the brakes to “catch” with the pedal closer to the floorboard.

• Vibration and pulsations when braking.

  This can be caused by warped rotors or the tires being out of balance. When rotors are warped, the brake pads cannot fully grip and braking will not be as effective.  Brake system repair or maintenance is recommended as soon as possible.

• Pulling to one side.

  This can be caused by the brakes on one side not gripping as firmly as the other or from debris in the brake lines.

• Parking brake sticks.

  This is an indication the brakes are not fully disengaging and can cause extra wear on your rear brakes.  Brake system repair is recommended before the situation worsens, brakes are one thing on your car you can not ignore.
