Brakes & Brake Pads

When Should I Check My Brakes?

  • If you see a yellow light on the dashboard. This could signify a problem with the ABS.
  • If you see a red light on the dashboar, it’s likely a system imbalance.
  • When your brake pedal becomes difficult to push. You may need new pads or just a brake fluid change
  • When your brakes make noises: grinding or squealing indicates a problem with your rotors or your pads
  • When your brake pedal is spongy, it could be air bubbles in your brake fluid or potentially rotor damage
  • When your car shakes when you brake — this could mean rotor damage
  • When your car pulls to one side, the brakes might be misaligned. Or you may need to replace your pads or brake fluid
