There\u2019s no getting around it: for a vehicle to be safe, its brakes need to be in excellent condition. The team at Certified Auto Repair would like to raise awareness about the importance of paying special attention to your braking system\u2014which includes the brake pads, disks and fluid\u2014for peace of mind on the road. Read on to discover four clues that it\u2019s time to replace your brake\u2019s worn-out components.<\/p>\n

1. Mileage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Depending on the model, it\u2019s generally recommended to change a car\u2019s brakes after a certain number of kilometres driven (e.g. 60,000 km). However, you shouldn\u2019t blindly trust the manufacturer\u2019s recommendation, as brakes tend to wear out more or less rapidly according to the type of roads travelled, such as:<\/p>\n

– City roads<\/p>\n

– Highways<\/p>\n

– Steep roads<\/p>\n

Driving in the city or in mountainous terrain, for example, will inevitably be more demanding for your brakes than smooth, uninterrupted highway driving. Bottom line: don\u2019t wait until you\u2019ve reached the suggested mileage to check if your brake disks or pads are worn out. Have them inspected by a qualified Certified Auto Repair mechanic to find out exactly what shape they\u2019re in.<\/p>\n

2. Abnormal pedal vibration<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You shouldn\u2019t feel any sort of vibration when you depress the brake pedal. This is a sign that one or more of your brake\u2019s components are deformed or poorly adjusted. Having them replaced should be a priority.<\/p>\n

3. Abnormal pedal depression <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Do you need to press down on your brake pedal further than usual to bring your vehicle to a full stop? Be careful! It\u2019s probably time to replace your brake oil, which oxidizes over time, or change the worn-out brake pads.<\/p>\n

4. Metallic braking sound<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Do your brakes screech even when you come to a smooth stop? This unpleasant situation requires prompt investigation by a mechanic. Those annoying sounds that keep drawing attention to your car probably mean that your brake pads are worn out. Have them replaced immediately for a safer\u2014and quieter!\u2014drive.<\/p>\n
