Your vehicle’s brakes are one of its most critical safety components, and regular maintenance is essential to ensure they perform optimally. At Fredericksburg Chevrolet GMC, we’re committed to keeping our customers safe on nearby Boerne, San Antonio, Kerrville, and Comfort, TX roads.
So how does one know if they need to get their brakes checked out? Keep the below in mind next time you’re driving.
Squealing or Grinding Noises
A common signal that your brakes need attention is squealing or grinding noises when you apply the brakes. Worn brake pads or rotors can be the cause of this, and ignoring them can lead to further damage.
Vibrations or Shaking
If you notice your vehicle shaking or vibrating when you apply the brakes, your brake rotors could be warped or worn unevenly. Leaving this unattended can cause future issues with slowing down, and it’s important to get them checked as soon as possible.
Dashboard Warning Lights
More modern vehicles should have newer brake systems that can detect issues with your brakes and alert you using dashboard warning lights. If you see the brake warning light illuminated on your dashboard, it’s crucial to have your brakes inspected by a certified technician as soon as possible.
