How do I know when my brakes need to be serviced?

Brake rotors work with the brake pads to slow the vehicle down. When you apply pressure to the brake pedal, the calipers will squeeze the brake pads to cause friction on the rotors. This means that over time both the brake pads and brake rotors will need to be replaced at some point. Some of the symptoms that signal a need to replace one or both include:

Squealing or squeaking sound when you apply the brakes
Vibrations from the brakes
Groves and scoring marks on the rotors

Rotors and brake pads are important to the braking system and to your vehicle as a whole. Keeping everything serviced as it should will prevent you from experiencing poor braking down the road. If you think you may be in need of braking service, stop by Godwin Motors and let our professionals take a look! We’ll give you our honest feedback and provide you with only the best quality service.
