How to know when you need to replace your brakes?

Your car's brakes are one of the most critical safety features. They keep you and your passengers safe on the road. Like other mechanical components, brakes are a wearing item and will need replacement.


Several signs indicate that your car's brakes may need attention:

  • Squealing or Grinding Noises - These sounds often signal worn brake pads.
  • Spongy Brake Pedal - A soft or spongy brake pedal can indicate low brake fluid or other issues.
  • Vibrating Brake Pedal - This could be a sign of warped brake rotors.
  • Pulling to One Side - If your car pulls to one side when braking, it may indicate uneven brake pad wear.


Common Brake Repair Services

  • Brake Pad Replacement - Brake pads are the friction material that slows down your vehicle. They wear down over time and need to be replaced.
  • Rotor Replacement - Rotors are the metal discs that the brake pads clamp onto. Over time your rotors do wear out due to braking.
  • Brake Fluid Flush - Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time. This moisture will damage your braking components.
  • Caliper Replacement - Brake calipers are the components that apply pressure to the brake pads. They can become stuck or damaged and will need to be replaced.
