Time to check your brakes

braking carIt goes without saying that the brakes on your car are incredibly important. If they are not functioning properly, your car may not stop with the speed you need it to. If this should happen, you could be involved in a very serious accident. However, most people only have their brakes looked at if they hear loud noises when they press the brake pedal. This is not the way you should handle things. Your Pennsylvania brakes are so important to your personal safety that you should have them inspected regularly, even if they seem to be working perfectly. You can go to a western PA Toyota dealer to have them inspected. Always pay close attention to your brakes. It just might save your own life, or the life of someone you love.

What are some warning signs to look out for?

If you hear a loud screeching or grinding sound when you apply the brakes, this is a very obvious indicator that you have a serious problem on your hands. However, there are other ways to find out that you could have a potential issue with your brakes. If your brake pedal vibrates in any way when you press it down, this should be cause for concern. Likewise, a brake pedal that rests too low to the floor, or is difficult to press down, are both serious problems that need to be looked at right away. Obviously, if your brake dashboard light comes on, you should take your car to a mechanic and find out the reason. It might simply come on because you are a little low on brake fluid.

Dangers of not having your brakes inspected regularly

If you neglect your brakes, you could potentially have a ticking time bomb on your hands. While brakes will often make loud noises that warn you they are about to fail, this is not always the case. If you are traveling at freeway speeds when your brakes fail, your emergency brake still might not be enough to stop your car before a collision.

Damage to your car can be caused by faulty brakes

Aside from the danger to your personal safety that is presented faulty brakes, they can also cause damage to your car that is expensive to repair. For example, if you allow your brake pads to become too thin, the calipers they are attached to will eventually create grooves in the rotor. This will force you to pay to replace or resurface the rotor.
