Overlooking brake maintenance can lead to costly repairs or even brake failure, a serious risk to you and your family's safety. Here's how to identify early signs of brake wear and avoid these problems.

How to Check for Brake Issues

Start by inspecting the visible parts of your brakes for any signs that may require service. If you see that your brake pads are less than a quarter-inch thick between the spokes, it's time for a replacement. You can also check the brake fluid level under your hood. After refilling, monitor the fluid level for a few days-if it drops, you may have a leak that needs immediate attention.

Common Warning Signs

Regardless of your vehicle type, your brake pads will eventually need replacement. Be on the lookout for these warning signs that it's time for brake service:

  • The vehicle pulls to one side when braking
  • The steering wheel vibrates during stops
  • You hear grinding or squealing sounds when braking
  • The brake pedal feels soft or spongy
