5 Signs Your Brakes Need Immediate Attention

Know the Warning Signs

A squealing or grinding noise when you brake is one of the clearest signs your pads are worn down. Other red flags include a soft or spongy pedal, your car pulling to one side when braking, or a vibration you feel through the wheel.

Brakes are not a component to gamble on. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule an inspection right away — catching wear early is far cheaper than replacing a rotor or caliper down the line.
