Brake warning signs
- Squealing when you brake, often the pad wear indicator
- Grinding, which can mean the pads are gone and metal is on the rotor (get it in soon)
- A pulsing pedal or a steering wheel that shakes under braking
- Pulling to one side when you stop
- A soft or low pedal, or a brake warning light (don’t wait on this one)
Brakes are also checked during your NC state inspection.
Strut and suspension warning signs
- Bouncing or floating after bumps
- The nose dipping hard when you brake
- Leaning in turns
- Fluid on the strut body, or cupped and uneven tire wear
Only what it needs
Brake jobs are an easy place for a shop to upsell. We don’t. If your pads have life left, we’ll tell you, and if something can wait, we’ll say so.
