When should I schedule brake service?

We typically recommend that you schedule a brake inspection at least once a year, as this is the best way to determine if your car needs any other kinds of brake service before small brake issues turn into safety hazards. We'll thoroughly inspect your brakes and alert you to any problems. We're also prepared to perform repairs to get your car's stopping power back up to full strength.

Why are regular brake inspections necessary? Brake components such as rotors and brake pads eventually wear out, which can create safety problems and even damage to your vehicle if left unaddressed.

What are the signs that my brakes need service?

If your brakes need some help, you might encounter a few warning signs indicating that your brakes need service. Be sure to contact our service center right away if you experience any of the following:

• Brake pads with less than a quarter-inch of material remaining
• Squealing or grinding sounds when braking
• Spongy brake pedal
• Car pulling to one side when you brake
