Brake Service

The brake system is one of the most important safety mechanisms in your vehicle. It is important to inspect your brakes regularly - a minimum of every six months or roughly every 6,000 miles. Here are some common signs that your brake system needs servicing:

• Brakes feel spongy or hard to press down
• Squealing or grinding noises
• Your car pulls to one side
• Your steering wheel or brake pedal shakes when applying the brake
• Your Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) warning lights come on

Brake service is based less on miles and more on driving habits, conditions and roads types. Don’t wait until your brake pads are less than 4 millimeters or when you have metal-on-metal conditions because if you do you may have more repairs than replacing brake pads.
