Warning Signs Your Brakes Need Attention
Squealing or Grinding Noises
If you notice squealing or grinding sounds when you apply your brakes, it could be a sign that your brake pads are worn or that an adjustment is needed. Ignoring these noises can compromise your vehicle’s safety.
Dashboard Warning Lights
- ABS Light: When your Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) light turns on, it indicates a fault within the ABS system.
- Brake Warning Light: A red brake warning light often signals low brake fluid or worn-out brake pads with a pad wear sensor. A leak in your brake line may cause this and requires immediate inspection.

Why Regular Brake Maintenance is Essential
Over time, the friction generated from using your brakes causes them to heat up and cool down repeatedly. This cycle leads to moisture condensation in the brake fluid, which degrades its properties and can affect braking performance. A simple brake fluid flush can restore the fluid’s effectiveness and improve your vehicle’s safety.
