Your brakes are one of the most important components of your car. While each part of your car is important, your brakes are one of the key safety features your car has to offer. Therefore, you should make sure that your brakes are always in check for the best safety control results.
When your brakes are not working correctly, you may or may not notice right away, which is why you should always be watching for subtle signs that something may not be right with your brakes. Here are five signs that you need to seek brake service in Kahului.
Worn Brake Pads
Your brake pads help make your brakes as effective as possible. Unevenly worn pads may cause driving issues, and worn out pads may make your brakes less effective. It’s important to have your brake pads checked and replaced on time by the right brake service.
Grinding
When you use your brakes and hear grinding sounds, this is never normal and may indicate that your brake pads are worn out. If this is the case, you should seek a brake service immediately.
Pulling
Pulling to one side when you brake indicates a brake issue that is more than just inconvenient; it can also cause danger for drivers. If you find that your vehicle is often pulling to one side, you should seek repairs as soon as possible, since it may be your brakes, shocks, pads, or another issue causing the problem.
Low Responsiveness
Low responsiveness from brakes can be very dangerous. A “squishy” pedal usually indicates air in the brakes that can be bled out, or it may indicate that you have a fluid leak. In any case, you’ll want to get it checked.
Vibrations
Last but not least, when you engage your brakes, you shouldn’t be able to feel your vehicle vibrate. If you do, there is most likely a brake issue which will need to be addressed, so contact us here for more information.
