HOW WILL YOU KNOW WHEN YOUR BRAKES NEED SERVICE?

Whenever you press your brake pedal and feel, hear, or experience something out of the ordinary, it's a good sign that your vehicle needs a brake inspection.

Here are some common indicators that will tell you when it's time to book a brake service appointment:

  • High-pitched squeaking or squealing noises
  • Grinding sounds
  • Vibrations or pulsations
  • Longer stopping distances
  • Soft or spongy brake pedal
  • Illuminated brake warning light
  • Burning smell

WHY DO YOUR BRAKES FEEL SPONGY?

Spongy brakes feel soft and unresponsive when you press the brake pedal. Instead of feeling firm and providing immediate resistance, the pedal may sink lower to the floor with less effort, giving a sensation similar to pressing on a sponge. This can make it difficult to gauge how much pressure is needed to stop your vehicle effectively, often requiring pressing the pedal further down than usual.

Common causes of soft brakes include:

  • Air in your brake lines
  • Brake fluid leaks
  • Old or contaminated brake fluid
  • Worn brake components
  • Faulty master cylinder
  • Anti-lock braking system issues
  • Improper brake bleeding (after installation or maintenance)

WHAT MAKES YOUR BRAKES SOUND CRUNCHY?

Crunchy-sounding brakes can be alarming and typically indicate an issue that requires immediate attention.

Crunchy brakes can be a result of:

  • Worn brake pads
  • Debris between pads and rotors
  • Rusty rotors
  • Glazed brake pads or rotors
  • Damaged or warped rotors
  • Inadequate lubrication
  • Improper initial installation
