Brake warning signs to watch for...

Do you need a Brake Service ? Well, obviously if your stopping distance is longer than normal.. But you should know there are less noticeable warning signs that you should watch for to ensure your safety when travelling on the road.

The following symptoms mean it's time to test your brakes.

  • The brake pedal is low, hard, soft or spongy
  • The brake pedal seems low
  • During braking your vehicle loses grip
  • It feels like your car pulls to the side when braking
  • You feel a shudder in your steering wheel when stopping
  • You hear a high pitched squeak or squeal when the brakes are applied.

If your vehicle displays any of these signs, contact us at renmark auto service as soon as possible.
