Brakes can Break

 Common Signs of Brake System Problems

There are a few common signs you should pay attention to that may indicate a problem with your brake system. If you notice any of the following symptoms – take a close look at replacing parts in your braking system.

How do they sound?

The first warning sign to pay attention to is squealing. Your brakes should operate with very little or no noise at all. Many brake pads have “wear indicators” that are designed to cause squealing when they are worn down. Be sure to have them checked before the squealing sound turns into a grinding sound.

How does your vehicle drive?

Another problem you may experience is your vehicle pulling to one side or your steering wheel shuddering side-to-side when you brake. The issue can be a seized or hanging caliper, rotor thickness or warped rotors. These conditions can also cause noise, excessive wear and poor braking.

How hard do you have to push your brake pedal?

If you find you’re having to push your brake pedal almost all the way to the floor before your brakes engage, that’s usually a sign of brake fluid leakage or a bad master cylinder. It could also mean that your rear brake shoes need adjustment.


You could also find that your brake pedal requires extreme pressure to make the vehicle stop; it could be trouble with your brake booster or damaged brake linings.

Is your brake warning light on?

If you see the brake warning light on your dash come on, you need to inspect your brake system or have it inspected as soon as possible.

No good deed goes unrewarded

 Recently we helped a customers daughter by doing a brake job on her vehicle, but the only reason we got the opportunity to do the job for the young lady is because we did such a good job on her father’s vehicle. So with that being said no good job for one customer leads to a reward; rather a referral for another one. Retrospectively thinking, no good job goes unrewarded.
