Brake Repair
There’s no such thing as safe driving without reliable brakes. For that reason, brake inspections should happen once every 10,000 to 35,000 miles. (Owner’s manuals will have more specific numbers.)
In addition, professional assistance is needed when brakes don’t sound or act the way they usually do. For instance:
- Is the brake warning light flashing?
- Do the brakes make a strange noise when they’re pumped?
- During braking, does the car drift to one side or the other?
- Does pressing the brake pedal feel like pressing down on a sponge?
- Does it feel bumpy, shaky or wobbly when the car comes to a stop?
Whenever these issues arise, it’s wise to get to a mechanic on the double.
