Common Brake Issues and Symptoms

If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time for brake repairs:

  • Squeaking or Squealing Noises: A high-pitched squeaking or squealing noise when applying the brakes could be a sign that your brake pads are worn out and need replacing.
  • Grinding Noises: If you hear a grinding noise, it may indicate that your brake pads are completely worn down, and the metal parts are rubbing against the brake discs. This is a serious issue and requires immediate attention.
  • Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal: If your brake pedal feels soft or spongy when you press it, there could be air in the brake lines, or the brake fluid may be low or contaminated.
  • Vibrations or Pulling: If your car pulls to one side when you brake, or if you feel vibrations through the steering wheel, this could indicate uneven brake wear, a warped brake disc, or other braking issues.
  • Warning Light: If your dashboard brake warning light comes on, it’s essential to have your brakes checked immediately. This could be due to low brake fluid, worn brake pads, or other issues.

Our Brake Repair Services

We provide a comprehensive range of brake repair services, including:

  • Brake Pad Replacement: We replace worn-out brake pads to restore effective braking performance and reduce the risk of damage to other brake components.
  • Brake Disc and Drum Replacement: If your brake discs or drums are worn, damaged, or warped, we can replace them to ensure proper braking and prevent further damage to your vehicle.
  • Brake Fluid Replacement: We’ll check and replace your brake fluid if it’s low or contaminated, ensuring the hydraulic brake system functions correctly.
  • Brake Line Repairs: If your brake lines are damaged, cracked, or leaking, we’ll repair or replace them to ensure your brakes operate safely.
  • Brake System Inspections: Our comprehensive inspections cover all aspects of your braking system, helping to detect and resolve any issues before they become a serious safety concern.
