Signs You May Need Brake Service
Not sure if your brakes are due for maintenance? Watch for these common warning signs:
- Soft or spongy brake pedal
- Hard-to-press brake pedal
- Brake warning light on your dashboard
- Squealing, grinding, or clunking noises
- Vibrations when braking
If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to schedule a brake inspection with our ASE-certified technicians.
How Brakes Work (and Why They Wear Out)
Your vehicle likely uses disc brakes in the front and drum brakes in the rear. Both systems rely on pads or shoes that press against a rotor or drum to stop your car. These components are built to handle heat—but Arizona’s climate and road conditions can accelerate wear.
If pads wear down completely, metal-on-metal contact can damage the rotors, leading to expensive repairs and longer stopping distances. Warped or cracked rotors may also need to be resurfaced or replaced.
What’s Included in Our Brake Service
At Martin’s Auto Repair, we thoroughly inspect your entire brake system:
- Brake pads, rotors, calipers, and drums
- Brake lines and hoses
- Brake fluid level and condition
We’ll recommend service only when necessary and explain all your options clearly.
Pro Tip: Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, leading to rust, corrosion, and reduced stopping power. We recommend brake fluid replacement based on your manufacturer’s guidelines or sooner if you drive in Phoenix’s extreme conditions.
If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to schedule a brake inspection with our ASE-certified technicians. Call your Martin’s Auto Repair team at 602.266.5755 or book your appointment online for the most reliable service in Phoenix, AZ.
