Brake Warning Signs & Common Issues

Our experienced technicians in Angola and Fremont help you identify brake problems before they become safety hazards

Squealing or Squeaking

High-pitched squealing usually indicates worn brake pads. This is an early warning system built into brake pads. Schedule service promptly to prevent damage to rotors and ensure safe stopping performance.

Grinding Noises

Metal-on-metal grinding sounds mean brake pads are completely worn and metal backing plates are contacting rotors. This requires immediate attention to prevent extensive damage and unsafe driving conditions.

Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal

A brake pedal that feels soft or goes to the floor may indicate brake fluid leaks, air in brake lines, or worn brake components. This is a serious safety issue requiring immediate professional attention.

Vehicle Pulls When Braking

If your vehicle pulls to one side during braking, it may indicate uneven brake wear, stuck calipers, or brake fluid contamination. Our technicians can diagnose and correct steering issues related to brake problems.

Vibrating Brake Pedal

Brake pedal vibration or pulsation often indicates warped brake rotors. This reduces braking efficiency and can damage other brake components. Rotor resurfacing or replacement restores smooth braking.

Dashboard Warning Lights

Brake warning lights, ABS lights, or brake fluid level warnings indicate brake system problems. Our diagnostic equipment can identify the specific issue and provide appropriate brake repair solutions.
