Brake Repair: The Importance of Stopping Power

posted on 11/13/2019 1:06:55 PM
Brake Repair Edmonton, ABGood brakes are obviously very important. Having your brakes go out while you're driving is a terrifying experience. Often, the first indication that something's wrong with the brakes is an unusual sound. It could be a squeal, chatter or grinding sound. When the brake pads have been worn down to the point that they need to be replaced, your breaks will make that squealing sound. It's an early warning indicator. When you hear that sound, schedule an appointment at Bert’s Auto and Tires in Edmonton, AB.
 

You May Need Brake Repair If: 

• The brake dashboard light glows amber, indicating problems with the anti-lock brake system (ABS)
• The brake dashboard light is red, indicating a system imbalance
• The brake pedal is spongy or slow to respond
• You hear grinding or constant squealing during braking
 
Any time you notice these or other symptoms, it’s a good idea to have your brakes checked. Our staff is trained in maintaining and servicing front and rear brake systems and all accompanying brake system components like brake pads, brake shoes, parking brakes, rotors, drums, and hydraulic systems.
 
It is essential to keep your brakes in good working condition to ensure the safety of your vehicle. A functional or structural mishap with your brakes can bring out severe consequences. Therefore, you should pay special attention to keep your brakes in shape. If you experience vibrations and squealing while using brakes, it’s time to get them repaired. Your brakes should be regularly serviced at least twice a year or done every time you get tire rotation service. A detailed inspection will check the functional efficiency of the brakes and suggest repairs if needed.
 
Brake service is a performance-based type of maintenance, so the timing will be individual for each vehicle. It all comes down to the degree of wear your brake system experiences, which depends on your driving style, weather conditions and many other things. They are factors which cause your brakes to wear faster than usual. These include:
 
• Driving on the roads with a lot of hills and sharp turns
• Riding your brakes
• Urban stop-and-go driving
• Driving in heavy traffic with frequent braking
• Using cheap/unreliable brake pads and other brake system components
