The brakes are an integral part of the vehicle that enables it to come to a halt. Faulty brakes put you and other motorists at risk. This is why we can’t overstress the importance of brake repair in Puyallup. Here are the signs that your brakes need professional attention.
If you hear an audible screech upon applying the brakes, then it’s important to schedule auto repair right away. The good news is that the screeching sound usually doesn’t mean your brakes are going to abruptly fail. Rather, it’s a sign that the brake pads are starting to wear thin.
Do you feel a vibration in the brakes when you engage the pedal? The vibration may even transfer to your leg. Feeling vibration anywhere in the vehicle, in fact, warrants an immediate brake inspection at an auto shop.
You may notice that it requires more pressure on the brake pedal to bring the car to a full stop. An increased stopping distance can be dangerous, especially in scenarios where you may need to brake suddenly.
Just as you may notice less responsive brakes, the inverse may also be true. That is, the brakes may activate even with just a slight pressure of the pedal. While not as common as the brakes being less responsive, it’s still a sign of failing brakes.
A liquid puddle can indicate a number of leaks. Brake fluid, though, is usually a clear purplish hue. A leak can quickly render your brakes less responsive.
