• Squealing, thumping or grinding sounds
• Yellow puddles of brake fluid
• Less resistance in the pedal when braking
• More distance needed to come to a complete stop
• Pulling to one side when braking
• Vibration in the pedal when braking

Have Your Brakes Checked Today

Prevention is key for avoiding costly auto repairs. Start with early detection of issues with your brakes, such as visiting K&M Automotive for brake repair as soon as you hear grinding noises. Types of brake maintenance include brake pad replacement and rotor replacement. If your brakes are beyond the point of a standard replacement, it is likely due for a brake repair, which is much more labor intensive. Save yourself from the costs of brake repairs by having your car’s brakes checked before it’s too late.

If you notice that your vehicle now takes a longer time to brake, do come in to any of our locations to have them checked. If the brake warning light keeps turning on when you try to brake, please do not ignore it.

It must be noted that car owners can hear grinding noises because of moisture coating the brakes. These noises can also be caused by dirt, grime, and rust. Dirt and rust can also enter the ABS modulator and cause brake failure later on.

There are many possibilities but the best way to tell if your brakes are still okay is to go to an ASE certified technician asap. While it is easy for most drivers to tell if their brakes already need replacement, K&M Automotive can give more information as to what is wrong.
