Nothing can be more important when it comes to automobile safety than making sure that your brakes are in good working condition. While brakes are a vital safety component of your vehicle, they are not very expensive to service and maintain. Best Auto of Longmont offers inspections of your brakes and provides maintenance, service, and repair on disc and drum brake systems so that you can stay safe on the road.
Know what to look for if you suspect your brakes are failing:
• Dashboard Indicator – Most dashboards have indicators letting you know when there is an issue. If your brake light indicator shows, chances are you have a problem with your brakes and need to have them inspected.
• Leaks – If you notice leaking around or behind your automobile’s wheels, this could mean that there is a leak in the master cylinder or brake line and you need to have your brakes checked.
• Pedal Pumping – Excessive pumping of your brake pedal to get the car to slow down or stop could indicate that your brakes are failing. If you are having this issue, you should have your vehicle’s brake system inspected and serviced by a licensed auto mechanic immediately.
• Car Pulls to One Side – When your car pulls to one side upon applying the brakes, this could indicate damaged or failing brakes, or worn brake linings.
• Loud Noises – Worn or damaged brakes tend to squeak or grind when the brake is applied. Such noises could indicate metal to metal contact, worn brake pads, or added friction.
Safety matters when you’re on the road. Having a mechanically sound brake system can make all the difference when it comes to staying safe behind the wheel. Brakes should be inspected about every six months, or per your vehicle’s recommendation because brakes do wear out over time. If you suspect your brakes are failing and are having any of these issues, you should have your brake system inspected by a licensed auto mechanic. Best Auto of Longmont and their team of ASE Certified mechanics know brakes. They are equipped to provide a thorough inspection of your brakes and make any necessary repairs to disc and drum brake systems. Call the trusted team at Best Auto of Longmont today.
