Signs you need new brakes
- Squeaking or squealing noises: High-pitched sounds when applying the brakes.
- Grinding noises: If you hear a metal-on-metal grinding sound, this is a serious warning that the brake pads are worn down.
- Vibrating or pulsating brake pedal: A vibrating pedal could indicate warped brake discs.
- Soft or spongy brake pedal: If your brake pedal feels unusually soft or sinks to the floor when pressed, this could indicate a brake fluid leak or an issue with the braking system's hydraulic components.
- Reduced braking performance: If your car takes longer to stop or the brakes feel less responsive, it's time to have them inspected immediately.
Why you shouldn't you wait to replace your brakes?
Putting off brake maintenance can be dangerous. Worn-out brakes not only compromise your safety but can also lead to more expensive repairs if other parts, like the brake discs or calipers, get damaged. Even minor brake issues can escalate quickly, so addressing them sooner rather than later is always the best option. Delaying brake repairs could also put you and others at risk on the road, which is why it’s essential to take action at the first signs of trouble.
At Discount Tyres Gloucester, we know how important your safety is, which is why we offer a FREE brake check to give you peace of mind and make sure your vehicle is stopping as it should. Our skilled technicians will thoroughly inspect your brake pads, discs, fluid levels, and the overall braking system to ensure everything is functioning optimally.
