Faulty brakes are incredibly dangerous and present a hazard to you and everyone else on the road. Understanding what the signs are that you need brake repair can help you recognize when it’s time to come into the shop for auto services. 

Steering Wheel Vibration 

When one of the brake rotors on your car starts to slip out of alignment, you may notice a vibration in the steering wheel. It may happen when you are slowing down or when you are turning the wheels. The car may even feel like it is pulling to one side. When this happens, it’s time to immediately get the rotors checked. 

Spongy Brake Pedal 

If your brake pedal feels squishy or spongy when you press it, this could be a sign that the brake system is leaking fluid. When this happens, you will lose pressure in the lines.  You may even notice that you need to press down harder on the pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. 

Burning Smell 

One of the most surefire signs that your car is in need of brake repair is a burning smell when pushing down on the brake pedal. This means that the system is overheating. That can eventually lead to damage of the lines or rotors, which are expensive to replace. If you smell burning, you should immediately pull over and let the brakes cool down.
