Proper working brakes are paramount to ensuring a safe ride, not just for you but also for everyone on the road, with your vehicle. You’ve heard the saying, "the squeaky wheel gets the oil," well at Integrity Auto Care, we believe the squeaky brakes get the grease. The brake system on your vehicle will give you tons of warnings, indicating that it is time for repair or replacement.
Some warning signs include:
- Pull - Vehicle pulls to one side when brakes are applied
- Hard pedal - Requires extreme pressure to make brakes function
- Vibration - Brake pedal, steering wheel, or entire vehicle shakes, vibrates, or pulsates when a brake is applied. It may indicate the need to resurface disc brake rotors
- Squeal - Brakes should operate with a minimal amount of noise
- Low pedal - Pedal nearly touches floorboard before brakes function
- Grab - "Touchy" brakes that grab with the least pressure
