A vehicle’s braking system is its single most important safety feature, and cannot be taken for granted. Worn or out-of-adjustment brake parts will increase stopping distances and compromise your safety. Whether you’re driving in a Vancouver suburb or on wet, icy roads in Coquitlam or Maple Ridge, you have to trust that your brakes are up to the task! Your Minit-Tune & Brake Auto Centre mechanic will visually inspect the brakes at your regular oil and filter change and let you know of the need for brake repairs. Additionally, you should be alert to signs of brake stress such as the following:
 

    • You sense that the car is taking longer to come to a stop
    • Your car feels like it’s pulling to the left or right when you brake
    • You feel vibration in the steering wheel when you apply the brakes
    • You hear a high-pitched squeal (indicating worn or defective brake pads, shoes, drums or rotors)
    • You hear a grinding sound when you apply the brakes (indicating severe damage to brake rotors or brake drums )
  • You have to push your brake pedal to the floor when you brake (indicating a leak in the brake system or problems with the brake master cylinder)
  • You are at a stop sign with your foot on the brake pedal and the pedal sinks (indicating problems with the brake master cylinder)
