How to Know if You Need New Brakes
There are several ways that your car warns you that it's time to have your brakes checked out. These include:
- Loud Squealing - If your brakes squeal when you use them on your drives around Warminster, this is a sign that it's time for new brake pads.
- Shuddering - If your car shakes or shudders when you apply the brakes, this is a sign that the brake rotors need replacement.
- Spongy Brake Pedal - If the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor before anything happens, this is a sign that you need to have the brake fluid checked out.
- Brake Warning Light - If the brake warning light appears on your dashboard, this is a sign that you need to schedule a brake inspection right away.
How Often Should You Have Your Brakes Checked or Replaced?
If you don't notice any of the above red flags, you'll still want to have your brakes inspected at least once a year and typically replaced every 30,000 to 70,000 miles.
