Watch for these signs
When should your brakes be inspected?
Brake concerns often show up through sound, pedal feel, warning lights, or changes in how the vehicle stops. Schedule an inspection whenever braking feels different from normal.
Squealing, scraping, or grinding sounds occur while braking.
The brake pedal feels soft, unusually firm, or slow to respond.
The vehicle pulls or shudders when slowing down.
A brake or ABS warning light appears on the dashboard.
Fluid is visible near a wheel or beneath the vehicle.
Stopping takes longer or requires more pedal pressure.
If stopping ability feels reduced or unsafe, avoid driving the vehicle and seek immediate assistance. A brake inspection is the right next step for less urgent changes and routine condition checks.

Avoid driving when stopping ability is noticeably reduced, the pedal suddenly loses pressure, brake fluid is leaking, or the vehicle cannot stop predictably. Seek immediate assistance instead.
Yes. The free inspection identifies the system's condition. The shop explains its findings, recommended work, and available options before you approve additional brake service.
