When to Get Your Car Brakes Serviced
It takes a lot of power to bring thousands of pounds of metal to a stop quickly. Your car’s brakes are vital for safely driving to and from your destination. Driving around Grosse Pointe Farms, MI, your vehicle’s brakes will start to wear out and need to be serviced. Every vehicle’s brakes need to be serviced regularly, but this depends on a combination of manufacturer-recommended service intervals and your style of driving. Luckily, there are often several warning signs that it is time to get your brakes serviced.
Signs Your Car Needs its Brakes Serviced
Staying on top of your vehicle’s brake maintenance and adhering to the manufacturer’s service recommendations is crucial. If your brakes are due for service, there are often noticeable signs of wear and tear. These signs can include:
Squeaky or Grinding Sounds: One of the most common warning signs of brakes needing to be serviced is a squeaky or grinding sound when coming to a stop. This sound is caused by worn-out brake pads making contact with the rotor.
Strange Burning Smells: When a car’s brakes wear out, they can begin to overheat, releasing a chemical burning smell. Sometimes, the smell can be traced to burnt brake fluid, another sign that your brakes need immediate service.
Decreased Brake Performance: If your vehicle takes longer than expected to stop when applying the brakes, it is time to get your brakes serviced. If your vehicle’s pedal feels squishy when applying the brakes, it could indicate that your brake fluid is low or no longer working at peak performance.
Vibrations or Rumbling Feelings When Braking: If your vehicle shakes or vibrates when coming to a stop, it likely means that your car’s brake rotors have been damaged. If your brake rotors overheat from aggressive breaking, they can wear unevenly, causing vibrations or shaking in the steering wheel and brake pedal.
