How to Know if You Need New Brakes

There are some signs that you need new brakes, or at least brake components which comprise the braking system. Any time you're hearing a consistent squeaking or squealing noise while stopping or in some cases while you're driving, that's a sign that you're going to need some brake components like your pads and or rotors replaced. Also, if your brake pedal has more give, or you feel like you're having to press down on the brake pedals harder and there are longer stopping distances, that's a sign as well. You might also be able to notice if the pads or rotors are worn by inspecting your vehicle if you can see through the wheels.

If you see a red brake warning light on your dashboard lights when you press the pedal, that means you need to get to a dealership like ours for brake repair near Baxley and Metter right away.
