Signals to Get Brake Repair
Perhaps you’re wondering how you’ll know that your European beauty is in need of brake repair. It’s best practice to bring your vehicle to us for service visits at the intervals recommended by the manufacturer. Inspections and timely service will usually allow us to detect and correct any issues before they become serious. However, some signals should prompt you to make an appointment for brake repair, even if it’s not time for a routine visit. This will often be a high-pitched sound when you apply brakes. This squeal typically alerts you to the need for new brake pads. Another indicator may be a burning odor. While the scent can emanate from various sources, it can point to brake trouble, either a stuck caliper or prolonged emergency brake engagement. Likewise, pulling to the side can potentially mean a couple of things, but it can indeed point to a brake problem. A wobble during braking is concerning, too, as it may be evidence of a warped brake rotor. Another troubling sign is a spongy feeling brake pedal that seems to sink too far toward the floor. Your car may lack sufficient brake fluid or have a leaking master cylinder. Finally, if your stopping distances are increasing, it’s time for us to check out the braking system.
