Signs it’s Time to Service Your Brakes
If you put off servicing your brakes long enough, you’ll begin to notice signs of wear & tear. Recognizing these signs early on is key to avoiding any long-term issues or compromising the performance of your car’s brakes. Some key signs to look for include:
- Brake Light Stays On
- Squealing or Grinding Noises When Braking
- Wobbling or Scraping When Braking
- Visibly Leaking Fluid

- Car Pulls to One Side While Braking
- Burning Smells While Driving
- Car Bounces When You Stop
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.
