Good to know

Signs it’s time.

  1. Grinding or squealing

    Often worn pads or shoes. Grinding can mean metal on metal.

  2. Pulls when you brake

    A sticking caliper or uneven wear pulls the vehicle to one side.

  3. Soft or low pedal

    Air or a leak in the system. Don’t put this one off.

  4. Shake in the pedal or wheel

    Often a warped rotor. It gets worse with heat.
