Brake Repair in Bluffton, SC

Where Safety And Affordability Meet

Stopping Power Saves Lives

Brakes are important, and all car owners know this. Without them, lives would be lost. They keep us safe, they keep us mobile, and they keep us breathing. That is why regular brake checkups are imperative to any vehicle maintenance plan. Brakes give you total control of your car, both on and off the road, and having that control means keeping you and your passengers safe. Here at Beachside Tire & Auto Repair, our ASE-Master Certified mechanics are trained and knowledgeable in every aspect of brake service and repair. They understand brake checks and the importance of brake inspections. Nothing stops them from providing our customers with the most reliable brake pads in the marketplace to date. But, if you haven’t had your brakes checked in a while, sometimes it can be hard to tell when you’re due for a change. Below are the signs to watch out for when it comes to wear and tear on your car’s brakes.

When Do Brakes Need To Be Serviced?

Some common signs and symptoms crop up whenever brakes start to wear down. They range from mediocre to emergent and can signal when you need your car in a shop for brake repair. In some vehicles, a brake repair light on the dashboard illuminates whenever brake pads wear down to a certain point. If that light illuminates, it’s time to get your vehicle into a shop. However, most older vehicles don’t have that warning light, but that doesn’t mean there still aren’t signs. If your brakes are squealing or squeaking whenever you depress them, it’s time to get them looked at by a professional. If your steering wheel shakes when you press the brake pedal down, that is also a sign that your brakes need servicing. Spongy or loose brakes are another warning sign: if you have to push your brake pedal all the way down to stop your vehicle, that requires a professional touch. Not only that, but spongy brakes can increase the distance you need to stop your vehicle, raising your risk of road accidents. And last, but most certainly not least, if your steering wheel pulls to one side or the other when you press your brake pedal down, it needs addressing immediately.
