It is the most vital part of the car that can prevent accidents. Keeping the brakes in good repair can ensure that it always responds when you press o the brake pedal. Pay attention to the signs that brakes are having trouble. Preventative maintenance and routine mechanical repairs will ensure the brakes remain in good working order.Brake Repair in North Carolina and Florida

When Should I Get Brake Repair?

Be aware of the signs that you need to seek brake repair or replacement. This will allow you to catch repair issues early and avoid extensive and expensive repair costs. Here are five signs that you need to have your brakes checked:
 
  • Dashboard indicator light: When your vehicle detects that something is wrong with your braking system, the dashboard indicator light may light up on your dashboard. 
  • Soft or spongy brake pedal: Your brakes should be a bit resistant when you press on the pedal. When you have a brake fluid leak or worn brake pad, the brakes become spongy and go straight to the floor when pushed. Get to a brake repair shop as soon as possible. 
  • Screeching or grinding sound: A common sign of brake problems is a screeching or grinding noise when you apply it. This could mean that the pads on your brakes have completely worn away. 
  • Shaking in the steering wheel: When you hit the brakes, and you feel a strange vibration, this often means that the rotors are warped. This issue will affect your ability to stop effectively. 
  • Pulling to one side when braking: If your vehicle pulls to one side when braking, this is a  dangerous symptom of brake trouble. It can indicate a malfunctioning wheel cylinder, or there may be impurities in the brake fluid.
