Top 5 Signs Your Brakes Need Help

????At Antero Automotive, we understand the importance of regular brake maintenance. We proudly offer comprehensive brake services to drivers in Greenwood Village, Colorado, and the surrounding areas.

If youre hearing any squealing noises, feeling any pulling, or noticing a vibration when youre driving, it may be time to get your brakes inspected. A warning light is a sure sign that your car needs an inspection.

Your brakes are one of the most critical parts of your car, and their proper functioning is essential for a safe and stress-free drive. To help you identify when your brakes may need attention, here are the top 5 signs that your brakes need help.

SQUEALING NOISES

ONE OF THE MOST COMMON SIGNS THAT YOUR BRAKES NEED ATTENTION IS WHEN YOU HEAR A LOUD, HIGH-PITCHED SQUEALING NOISE WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS IS USUALLY CAUSED BY A WORN-OUT BRAKE PAD AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.

WHETHER OR NOT ITS YOUR BRAKES, BRINGING YOUR VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA WHEN YOU HEAR A STRANGE NOISE.

PULLING

IF YOUR CAR PULLS TO ONE SIDE WHEN YOU BRAKE, IT COULD BE A SIGN OF WORN BRAKE PADS OR UNEVENLY DISTRIBUTED BRAKE FLUID.

THIS CAN ALSO BE A SIGN YOU NEED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. STILL, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE, ANY PULLING MEANS FOR CHECKING WITH YOUR LOCAL AUTO EXPERT (AND IF YOURE IN GREENWOOD VILLAGE, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT HERE WITH US AT ANTERO AUTOMOTIVE).

VIBRATION

IF YOUR STEERING WHEEL OR BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES, IT COULD SIGNIFY WARPED ROTORS OR UNBALANCED WHEELS. THESE ISSUES SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO ENSURE A SMOOTH RIDE.

SPONGY PEDAL

IF YOUR BRAKE PEDAL FEELS SOFT OR SPONGY WHEN YOU PRESS DOWN, IT COULD BE A SIGN OF AIR IN THE BRAKE LINES OR A FLUID LEAK. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES NEED PROFESSIONAL ATTENTION TO ENSURE YOUR SAFETY.

WARNING LIGHTS

IF YOUR DASHBOARD HAS A WARNING LIGHT, IT SIGNIFIES THAT YOUR BRAKES NEED ATTENTION. THIS COULD SIGNIFY A MALFUNCTIONING ABS SYSTEM OR A LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL. WHEN IT COMES TO BRAKES, ID NEVER SUGGEST WAITING IT OUT TO SEE IF ITS A FALSE WARNING LIGHT. BRING YOUR CAR TO YOUR NEAREST AUTO SHOP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
