When Your Brakes Need Attention
Changes in braking performance should always be taken seriously.
Your braking system is made up of components that wear over time and changes can happen gradually. You may notice a difference in how the pedal feels, hear a new sound when braking or find that your vehicle no longer stops as smoothly as it once did.
Signs that it may be time for a brake inspection include:
Squeaking, squealing or grinding
Vibration or pulsation while braking
A soft or spongy brake pedal
Increased stopping distance
Pulling to one side while braking
Brake or ABS warning lights
Changes in brake pedal response
If something has changed, an inspection can determine the cause and whether service or repair is required.

Understanding Brake Wear
Regular inspections help identify wear before it affects braking performance.
How quickly brake components wear depends on the vehicle, driving conditions, mileage and driving habits. Frequent city driving, hills, towing and heavier loads can all place additional demand on a braking system.
Brake pads are designed to wear and require replacement as part of normal vehicle maintenance. Rotors, calipers, brake fluid and other components also need to be inspected as part of the complete system.
Following your vehicle manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule and having changes in braking performance inspected promptly can help keep the system operating as intended.

Brake Service FAQs
-
Brake pads gradually wear with use. Squealing or grinding sounds, changes in braking performance or a brake warning indicator can all be signs that your brakes need attention. An inspection can determine the condition of the pads and the rest of the braking system.
-
Vibration while braking can have several causes, including issues involving the brake rotors or other vehicle components. The source should be diagnosed before determining what repair is required.
-
Not necessarily. Rotor condition needs to be assessed based on wear, thickness, condition and the specifications for the vehicle.
-
Inspection intervals vary by vehicle and manufacturer recommendations. Brakes should also be inspected whenever you notice a change in braking performance, unusual sounds or warning lights.

Yes. Winn Automotive provides brake service for a wide range of import and domestic cars, SUVs and light-duty vehicles.
