How can I tell if my brakes need servicing?

The brake system is one of the most important safety mechanisms in your vehicle. It is necessary to have it inspected regularly – a minimum of every six months or roughly every 6,000 miles – to ensure proper performance.

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
