Brake Warning Signs
Common Signs Your Brakes Need Attention
Brake problems can affect how safely and confidently your vehicle stops. Changes in braking performance, unusual sounds or vibrations should be checked rather than ignored.
Squealing, grinding or unusual brake noises.
Vibration or pulsing when braking.
Reduced or changing braking performance.
Brake warning lights appearing on the dashboard.

- Explain any noise, vibration or braking change.
- Discuss the condition of the brakes.
- Ask what work is required.
- Request a quote before approving repairs.
