Signs You Need New Brakes
Screeches, Pulls, Grinding, and Squeals
One of the ways to know if you need your brakes may need servicing, is if they make a loud screeching, grinding, or squealing noise when you are braking. A pull to one side of your vehicle can also indicate the need for new brakes, although this can be caused by many things. If you are unsure about your brakes, it’s always best to bring your vehicle into Brad’s Transmission Service to have one of our highly trained technicians take a look at your vehicle.
Pedal Vibration and Pressure
Most vehicles use a hydraulic brake system driven with brake fluid to transfer pressure from the brake pedal, through the brake line, and then ultimately to the components that stop your vehicle. If you feel you have to apply more pressure to the brake pedal than normal, or must use an uncomfortable amount of force to slow your vehicle down, you may be leaking brake fluid. If you feel a vibration when applying your brakes (which may be associated with a noise), your brake rotors may be warped. If either is an issue with your vehicle, it is advised to bring your vehicle in for inspection at Brad’s transmission Service.
Complete Brake Failure
If the brake pedal in your vehicle drops to the floor, or it takes an immense amount of force to stop your vehicle, it is no longer safe for you to drive your vehicle. This issue is usually accompanied by a warning light on your dash, and you should immediately get your vehicle towed, and your brakes fixed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED BRAKE REPAIR QUESTIONS
What is the most common cause of brake failure?
Normally the most common cause would be wear and tear over time and km driven. However lately we have noticed a trend towards brake failure in the Sherwood Park area induced by corrosion from chemicals that are being used on our roads in the winter. It is very common now to have customers come in for brake issues and we have to replace the brakes because of rot, not because the brake pads or shoe linings are worn out.
What are some symptoms I might feel or experience that would indicate I need my brakes inspected?
Some symptoms would be a pulsating brake pedal, especially on hard braking. Others would be squealing or a grinding sound when you apply the brakes, or it could be a soft mushy feeling in the brake pedal when you brake.
Sherwood Park Brake Repair Cost
Why am I getting such a large difference in quotes for my brake repair?
Like all vehicle repairs, there is a large difference in price based on what quality and brand of parts are being used to repair your brakes. We prefer to use only the best quality brake parts we can get, especially when it comes to brakes, however, if you’re wanting to keep brake repair costs down, we’re happy to provide you with an estimate using generic brake parts. We want your brake repair business.
