Signs That You Need Brake Service

• Squealing Sounds: If you drive a newer vehicle and hear squealing sounds when you hit the brakes, it is time to schedule an appointment for brake service. The brake pads for new vehicles are equipped with a brake pad indicator that is designed to squeal when the pads are getting low. This makes it easy to tell when your brake pads are wearing down, and you need a brake pad replacement.
• Grinding Sounds: If you hear grinding sounds when you hit the brakes, it means that the brake pads have worn down completely, and it is metal on metal when you hit the brakes. This is a serious issue that can make it difficult to stop the vehicle when you need to.
• Soft Brake Pedal: Are your brakes easier to push than normal? There could be air or moisture in the braking system, causing issues when trying to stop.
• The Vehicle Pulls To One Side When You Brake: This issue can occur if one of the brake hoses is bad or an issue with a caliper. It is best not to drive your vehicle until the problem is fixed, if at all possible.
• Leaking Brake Fluid: Any fluid leak is serious, but a brake fluid leak is very serious. If there isn't enough fluid in the braking system, it can be difficult for the brake pads to clamp hard enough to the rotors to stop the vehicle.
• Brake Light Is On: This one is a no brainer. If your brake system light comes on, get a brake inspection ASAP.
