Brake Repair and Service in Greenville, SC

Oftentimes you can feel when your brakes are worn out by the changes they bring about in your vehicle. Here are some of the “red flags” to watch out for so you know when it is time to get your brake pads inspected.

Grinding or screeching noises when you apply the brakes.
A mushy brake pedal or a pedal that sits lower than usual.
Vibrations or shaking in the steering wheel or pedal while stopping.
Excessive brake dust building up on your wheels or rims.

Ignoring the warning signs of worn brakes can lead to incredibly costly repairs. More importantly, being able to come to a complete stop in a short distance is vital to keeping you and your family safe on the road.

Everyday driving requires constant braking, creating friction and intense heat that naturally wears down your brake pads over time. Typically, a set of brakes will last around 30,000 to 35,000 miles. Driving too long with worn-out brake pads can quickly ruin your rotors and calipers, leading to catastrophic failure and far more expensive damage to your braking system.
