- Brake Light Stays On
- Squealing or Grinding Noises When Braking
- Wobbling or Scraping When Braking
- Visibly Leaking Fluid

- Vehicle Pulls to One Side While Braking

With how often you drive, any diminished performance from your brakes can be risky so our technicians will always check every part of your brake system. This allows us to mark any potential trouble spots, so we can make a maintenance plan with you that ensures your brakes never get too worn down to perform at the level you depend on.
