It’s important to have your brakes examined once per year to keep to help avoid costly replacements. This attention to detail concerning your brakes may seem unnecessary, however you should have your brake system checked immediately if you experience any of the following:

• Your brakes are continuously squeaking, squealing, or grinding
• Your brake or anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning light comes on
• Your car jerks or pulls to one side when braking
• You need to pump your brakes for them to work properly
• Your brake pedal feels unusually soft and spongy or hard
• You notice brake fluid leaks around the wheels or engine compartment
