Making sure you have good quality brakes keeps you and others safe on the road in Appomattox. But paying attention to the warning signs can lower out-of-pocket expenses even when brake repairs are imminent. And Automattox has the most common you need to know!
Typically, drivers wait until they hear grinding sounds while applying the brake pedal to bring their vehicle into our service center in Appomattox. Although that is commonly a strong indication that brake repairs are needed, the most common first warning signs include squeaking sounds, a pulsating brake pedal or a lower-than-usual brake pedal. Ignoring those signs could be costly. You may prevent damage to your brake rotors or calipers by having a brake inspection.
Other more serious warning signs include:
- Brake Dashboard Light On
- Car Pulls Right or Left While Braking
- Leaking Brake Fluid
- Intermittent Stopping
Requesting a brake inspection while having your tires rotated, which should occur every 12,000 miles, is a proactive way to ensure quality brakes.
