Brake Service at Red McCombs Hyundai Northwest

Avoid being among the drivers who disregard brake maintenance until a major problem occurs. At Red McCombs Hyundai Northwest, we provide top-notch brake servicing that allows you to regain confidence while driving. Look out for these signs indicating the need for brake service or replacement:

  • One of the most obvious signs of brake problems is a high-pitched squeaking or grinding noise when the brakes are applied. This noise indicates that the brake pads have worn down and are grinding against the brake rotor. It's important to visit a brake specialist immediately to prevent further damage and increased maintenance costs. This noise can be heard even at low speeds.
  • If you feel a grinding, pulsing, or vibration sensation in the brake pedal or steering wheel when you apply the brakes, it's a clear indication that your brakes need immediate attention. This vibration occurs when the brake rotors have warped or become unevenly worn, affecting the braking performance of your vehicle.
  • Most modern cars have a warning light or dashboard indicator that illuminates when there are issues with the brake system. This warning light should never be ignored and requires immediate attention. It could indicate problems such as low brake fluid, a malfunctioning anti-lock braking system (ABS), or potential brake failure.
  • If you've noticed that your car takes longer to stop than usual when you apply the brakes, it's a strong indication that your brake pads have worn down. This increased stopping distance is a safety concern and should prompt you to take your car to a brake specialist as soon as possible.
  • A strong burning odor when applying the brakes is also a sign of brake problems. This smell indicates that the brake pads have overheated, potentially compromising the effectiveness of the brake fluid. If you encounter this foul smell, it's essential to have your brakes checked before they completely fail.

When driving in San Antonio, TX, it is crucial to prioritize the maintenance of your vehicle's brakes as they are a vital safety component. By staying attentive and proactive in caring for your brakes, you can not only keep your car running smoothly but also prevent expensive repairs and ensure your safety while driving.
