Brake maintenance on your vehicle is an important process in ensuring the safety of you and your passengers. It is necessary and highly recommended to have your breaks inspected regularly. We suggest a break inspection a minimum of every six months or roughly every 6,000 miles. This helps ensure proper performance and safety. During vehicle operation, brake pads press against the rotor, and the resulting friction is what brings your vehicle to a stop. This friction causes wear and tear on the surface of your brake pads. Worn out brake pads make it difficult for your car to stop and as a result, can damage your rotors.
Here are different signs that indicate your brake pads need attention.
- Brakes feel spongy or hard to press down
- Squealing or grinding noises
- Your car pulls to one side
- Your steering wheel or brake pedal shakes when applying the brake
- Your Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) warning lights come on
These are signs that you need your breaks to be replaced as soon as possible. Come down to Holiday Ford in Fond du Lac, WI and let the
