Continue reading below to learn about the signs indicating that your vehicle needs brake repair services. For more details, contact Steele Honda, our dealership in St. John’s, NL.  

Does my Vehicle Need Brake Repair Services?  

  • If you hear a high-pitched squeaking or grinding noise when you apply your brakes, it clearly indicates that your brake pads are worn out and need to be replaced. Ignoring this noise can damage other parts of the braking system, which can be expensive.  
  • If your brake pedal feels spongy or soft, it means that there’s air in the brake lines or the brake fluid is low. This can lead to a loss of braking power, which is dangerous, especially in emergencies.  
  • If your steering wheel or brake pedal vibrates when you apply the brakes, it’s a sign that the brake rotors are warped.  
  • If your vehicle pulls to one side when using the brakes, it indicates that the brake linings on one side are worn out more than the other.  
  • Most modern vehicles have sensors that detect brake issues and trigger warning lights on the dashboard. If you see the ABS or brake warning lights illuminated, it’s best to get it checked by a professional as soon as possible.
