Do My Brakes Need Serviced?
There are a few tell-tale signs your brakes need to be repaired or replaced, including:
- Strange Noises: Squeaking, squealing, or grinding noises when applying the brake may indicate worn brake pads or calipers.
- Vibrating or Pulling: Vehicles with poor brakes often pulsate or pull to one side when the brakes are being pushed.
- Longer Stops: Is your car taking longer to slow down and stop than usual? If so, your brakes are having problems.
- Unusual Pedal Feeling – If you find that your brake pedal feels excessively spongy or hard like a wall, that indicates you need to bring your vehicle in for inspection.
Common Brake System Component Failures
Brake systems comprise the following essential components:
Brake pads cause friction on the rotors that slow and halt the vehicle. They'll wear out over time due to heavy use. If you feel a vibration in your vehicle that could be an indication that your brakes are needing replaced.
When a master cylinder is broken, it cannot adequately deliver the fluids that brakes need to function.
Fluids signal your vehicle to stop by flowing through brake lines. If your lines are broken, your brakes won’t receive the signal.
Old, dirty, or contaminated brake fluid can clog the lines or break down. When this happens, you’ll need your fluid replaced.
Brake Repair Vs. Brake Replacement
Choosing between getting your brakes repaired or replaced will depend on their age, mileage, condition, and long-term costs. Average pads can last between 25,000 to 70,000 miles, with some going up to 100,000. However, lifespans vary depending on the materials used to make the pad and vehicle types. Replacements may be cheaper in the long run than repeated repairs and maintenance. If you’re worried about your safety, replacing may be a better choice for your peace of mind. The pros at Right Auto Care will inspect your brakes and recommend a repair or replacement based on our findings.
