Signs Your A/C Needs Some TLC
Don’t let your brakes sneak up on you like a surprise pothole! If you’re hearing strange sounds, feeling odd vibrations, or noticing anything off while stopping, it’s time to give your brakes a little TLC. Your car deserves to stop on a dime — let’s make sure those brakes are up to the challenge before they get too worn out! Here’s what to keep an eye (and ear) out for:
Squeaking or Grinding Noises
If you hear squeaking, grinding, or high-pitched noises when you brake, it’s a sign your brake pads are worn down and need replacing. Those sounds are your brakes’ way of telling you it’s time for new ones
Longer Stopping Distances
If you feel like you aren’t getting the same stop as you previously have, you can have worn out brake parts. You don’t want to push down on the brake pedal with it feeling like your vehicle isn’t even responding.
Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal
A soft or spongy brake pedal can let you know that you have air or moisture in the brake lines – or you could have a leak. Don’t ignore it — your safety comes first.
Vibration or Pulsing When Braking
If your steering wheel or brake pedal vibrates or pulses when you brake, making it seem like you are rattling your teeth out, it could indicate warped rotors.
Pulling to One Side
If your car pulls to one side when you apply the brakes, there could be uneven wear on your brake pads or a brake fluid issue. This could be a sign that one brake is working harder than the others.
Brake Warning Light
If your brake light comes on, don’t ignore it. Your car’s computer is trying to tell you there’s a problem with the brake system.
Common FAQs On Brake Repair
How do I know if my brake pads need replacing?
If your brake pads are making squeaky noises, or you feel vibrations when you brake, it’s time to get them checked. Also, if you notice a longer stopping distance, that’s another red flag.
How often should I get my brakes checked?
At Dell’s, we recommend a brake inspection at least once a year — or more often if you’re driving in rough conditions. Don’t wait until something feels off.
Can I drive with worn-out brake pads?
You can, but it’s not recommended. Worn-out brake pads can damage the rest of the brake system and you can be opening your pocketbook a whole lot further than you thought you’d have to. Get them checked before they wear down too much – and start costing you a whole lot more.
How long do brake pads last?
It depends on your driving habits and road conditions, but generally, brake pads last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles. Stop by for an inspection if you’re unsure!
Why is my brake pedal soft?
A soft brake pedal could mean low brake fluid, air in the lines, or even a problem with the master cylinder. Let us check it out and get your pedal feeling firm again.
How long does brake repair take?
Most brake repairs can be completed in just a few hours, depending on the issue. We’ll have you back on the road, stopping safely in no time!
Can I drive my car with a brake issue?
It’s never a good idea to drive with brake issues. If you’re hearing strange sounds, experiencing issues with stopping, or feel your brakes are not working as they should, it’s time to bring it in and get it checked.
