More than anything else, your brakes are responsible for your safety on the roads. Most people don’t think of their brakes as a safety feature, but without them, accidents would be more common than safe trips. With that in mind, you can understand why it should be top of mind to keep your brakes in tip top shape. But how do you know if it is time to have your brakes inspected, serviced or repaired?
Its Been A Minute
When was the last time you had your brakes looked at? Most auto repair technicians recommend having them inspected and serviced at least twice per year, but some will recommend even more frequent checks. Has it been more than six months? Can you even remember your last brake check? If not, you are definitely past due.
Grinding Or Squealing
If your brakes are making noise when in use, then that is your car’s way of telling you that the brakes need some attention. What you are probably hearing is due to your brake pads or shoes being worn and needing replacement. If you drive on noisy brakes/worn pads or shoes long enough, you can cause real, expensive damage to your braking system. If your brakes are noisy, it is past time for a service!
