A well-maintained brake system is paramount to your safety and that of others on the road. Your vehicle's brake system involves intricate parts and specific movements that halt your vehicle by transforming kinetic energy into thermal energy. When you apply force to the brake pedal, the master cylinder pressurizes a system of hydraulic brake lines leading to each of the vehicle's wheels. Here, brake pads or shoes press against a disc or drum, creating the necessary friction to slow the vehicle to a complete stop. Over time, this friction and heat can wear down the brake shoes, brake pads, calipers, brake rotors, and other braking components. While the components making up each brake system may differ, the warning signs for impending brake repairs are universal.

Faulty brakes often show signs of necessary maintenance. Recognizing these signs and seeking brake service can save you money in the long run. For instance, you may need brake repair if:

• Your brakes squeal or grind when used. This could mean that your brake pads may be worn and need replacement
• Your vehicle veers to one side when braking, indicating worn brakes, a malfunctioning caliper, or low brake fluid in the brake lines
• Your brake pedal feels too soft, or "spongy," it could mean there's too much air in the hydraulic brake lines
• Sometimes, your vehicle's electronic diagnostic system will alert you to a potential brake problem with a service indicator light on the dashboard
