Are you starting to feel nervous while driving down the road when it comes to your vehicles brakes? How do you know what kind of brake repair or possibly even a complete brake replacement needs to be done, and what will it cost you? When you step on the accelerator of your car, you expect it to respond by moving either forwards or backwards. What happens when you try to stop your car? If the distance of stopping keeps increasing, have an inspection and brake repair taken care of as soon as possible.
As you know, the brake system is a complicated process composed of several components----pedal, cylinder, fluid, calipers, pads, and rotors--which when working together smoothly and efficiently create the friction which stops your car. A trained auto technician understands this process and can inspect and diagnose any problems that you may be experiencing.
6 signs of wear and tear you can see, hear, and feel when braking:
1. Your car is pulling to one side
2. The pedal pulsates
3. A mushy feeling when you step on the pedal
4. Squealing and whining sounds
5. Repeatedly adding brake fluid to the master cylinder
6. Sound of metal-to-metal contact
A quick tip to remember: Each time you get your tires rotated (about every 5,000-10,000 miles), have a brake inspection performed at the same time.
If you wait too long to have a brake repair, other damage may be taking place (such as warped rotors), which could result in a complete brake replacement, significantly increasing your cost. More importantly, a timely brake repair could prevent an accident, increasing the safety of your passengers and other motorists.
