Signs Your Brakes Need Repair
Your vehicle’s brakes are critical for safety, so it’s important to recognize the signs that they may need professional attention. Here are the warning signals that suggest it’s time for brake repair:
- Squealing or Grinding Noise: These sounds can be a clear alert that your brake pads have worn thin and require replacement.
- Vibrations While Braking: If you feel shaking in the brake pedal or steering wheel during braking, it could be a sign of warped rotors or deteriorating brake pads.
- Longer Stopping Distances: When your vehicle starts needing more distance to stop, or the brakes feel less responsive, it’s often a signal that the brake pads are worn out.
- Brake Fluid Leaks: Any signs of leaking brake fluid under your car or a drop in the fluid level in the reservoir are urgent indicators of a leak in the brake system.
- Dashboard Warning Light: An illuminated brake warning light on your dashboard is a direct call to check your brake fluid levels or to diagnose a potential brake system issue.
If you encounter any of these symptoms, don’t hesitate to bring your vehicle to Sherman’s Auto Repair for a comprehensive brake system check and expert repair services. Our team is committed to ensuring your brakes are in optimal condition for your safety on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How often should brake pads be replaced?

Driving with worn brake pads can be dangerous as it increases stopping distances and can lead to brake failure. It can also cause damage to other parts of the braking system, like the rotors, which can be more expensive to repair.
Is it safe to replace brake pads on my own?
If you have mechanical experience and the proper tools, you might be able to replace brake pads yourself. However, for safety and assurance that the job is done correctly, it’s often best to have a professional mechanic perform the service.
