Signs Your Brakes Need to Be Serviced

Your brake system plays an essential role in the safety of your vehicle, helping you slow down or stop as you cruise around St. Louis Park, MN. Some of the common symptoms of worn or malfunctioning brakes to pay attention to include:

• Squealing, Grinding, or Scratching Sounds: Metallic squealing or grinding noises while braking are typically caused by wear indicators, which make contact with the brake rotor when your pads are ready for replacement. Other sounds, such as whirring or scratching, are often caused by pebbles and other debris trapped around the brake calipers.
• Longer Braking Distance than Expected: If it takes you longer than expected to slow down or come to a stop, it may be time to have your brakes inspected. Worn-out brakes have a larger gap between the pads and rotors, often requiring drivers to plan for increased stopping distances during commutes around Wayzata, MN.
• Soft or Squishy Brake Pedal Response: When your brake pedal feels like there's little to no resistance, your brake fluid may need to be flushed. Brake fluid is a hydraulic fluid that naturally absorbs moisture, which can lead to a sudden loss of brake pressure, reduced braking strength, or unexpected failure of internal components.
