Brakes are one of the most critical safety systems on your vehicle, and they have to be kept in proper working order. Ignoring the signs of brake wear can have serious consequences.
Common signs of brake wear
- Noise: grinding, squealing or metallic scraping under braking are clear indicators.
- Vibration: a brake pedal that pulses or a wheel that shakes under braking can mean warped rotors.
- Soft or hard pedal: a pedal that sinks too easily, or one that is unusually hard, can signal a problem.
- Pulling: if the vehicle pulls to one side when you brake, braking force may be uneven.
- Warning light: the brake light on your dash is a warning never to ignore.
If you notice any of these, don't wait. Call Pompeo Pneus et Mécanique or come by the shop for a full brake inspection. Your safety comes first.
