Brakes need repairs?

Here are some examples of common brake problems:

• High-pitched squeal: If the squealing stops when you brake, this means the brake pads are worn.
  
  
• Metal-on-metal sound when braking: The brake pads or shoes are completely worn away. Driving is now damaging your car's rotors or drums. Call us now!
  
  
• Brake pedal is soft: Or, if it gets harder when pumped, your brakes need 'bleeding' to get air bubbles out of the brake lines.
  
  
• Brake pedal slowly sinks to the car floor: Requires a new brake master cylinder.
  
  
• Car pulls to one side when braking: Indicates insufficient hydraulic pressure or a sticking brake.
  
  
• Pulsing when braking at high speeds: This indicates warped brake rotors.
  
  
• Smoking brakes and burnt rubber smell: This usually indicates a stuck brake caliper, wheel cylinder or hand-brake cable (this can also happen if you drive with the hand brake on).
