Signs You May Need Brake Repair

Your brakes are designed to give you clear warning signs when something’s not right. If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, it’s time to schedule a brake inspection:

• Squealing, grinding, or scraping noises when braking
• A soft or spongy brake pedal
• Vibration or shaking when stopping
• Increased stopping distance
• Brake warning light illuminated on your dashboard
