When should I have my brakes checked?

• You should have your brakes inspected when your vehicle makes unusual grinding or squeaking sounds
• When your ABS or Brake indicator lights are on your dash
• When your vehicle’s brake warning lights illuminate on your instrument panel, it could mean low brake pads or a possible issue with the brake fluid system or ABS (anti-lock brake) system
• Brake pulsation (shaking) under braking could mean that your brake rotors are warped from heat and need to be machined or replaced
• Vehicle pulls under braking means you should have your brake calipers or wheel cylinders inspected
• A brake inspection should be performed when you have a low brake pedal, a sinking brake pedal or experience poor stopping
• Loss of brake fluid is a sign for a brake inspection
