Braking Problems: Causes and Cures

When you’re experiencing braking issues, we’ll check your automobile to make an accurate diagnosis. However, we’d like to augment your knowledge to help you recognize the signs of trouble before you experience an emergency. For example, squeaks or squeals as you apply brakes are often tell-tale signs of brake pads that have worn too thin. They’re durable, but they don’t last forever. Once they wear beyond the minimum safe thickness, we’ll need to change the brake pads for you. Also, be mindful of a burning odor as you drive. If the scent comes from the brakes, you could have left the emergency brake engaged by accident or have a stuck brake caliper. A soft or spongy pedal likely indicates a lack of brake fluid. We’ll need to examine your braking system for a leak in the hoses, a compromised master cylinder, or another culprit. Bumping or wobbling during braking can potentially signify a warped brake rotor. Finally, pay attention to your typical stopping distances at various speeds. Let us inspect the braking system if it takes longer for you to bring your vehicle to a stop.
