Having your brakes checked and repaired when needed is one of the most important safety measures you can take for your vehicle. Unless you can stop the vehicle you are driving when needed, everyone in the car is at risk. This is why manufacturers and automobile dealers recommend having the brakes inspected at least once every 12 months or 12,000 miles, depending on which comes first.
It is also important that you know and recognize the common warning signals that something is wrong. The first sign to be aware of is exceeding the recommended mileage between inspections or repairs, but there are others:
- If the warning light on the dashboard of your vehicle comes on, don’t wait to get your brakes inspected.
- A grinding or squealing sound when applying the brakes can indicate worn pads that should be replaced.
If you notice any of these signs or it has been a year since your brakes have been serviced, get in touch with the service center of your dealership today. Stop in and learn more at 3878 West Road today!
