Just to provide a bit more information, see below on why brakes fail and how to know when it’s time to bring in the car.

Why do brakes fail?

Some major reasons brakes can fail are:

• Frequent use creates heat which damages brake pads or shoes
• Brakes in your vehicle will sometimes have sticky or seized sliders and/or guides
• Oil seals leak on the brakes
• Aggressive driving and braking wears them down

How can you spot Brake Problems?

We know that it’s easy to ignore small signs that something is wrong with your car’s brakes, but for the safety of yourselves, loved ones, and all motorists, make sure you check out these problems. Some signs your brakes may not be working well are:

• Squealing, grinding, or even clicking sounds when brakes pushed down
• Brake warning signal comes on
• Fluid appears to be leaking from brakes or general wheel area
• Drag on vehicle as you accelerate
• Slow response when brake pedal depressed
• Unusual pull or grab feelings from brakes
• Pushing sensation from brakes on your foot

If you notice these signs, don’t risk it and get immediate attention from the experts at W & B Automotive. We can diagnose the problem, provide an estimate, and get you on your way with a repair or replacement as required.
