Brakes are one of the most important components of your car. At Quinn Motors of Ellsworth, Inc. we want drivers in Ellsworth to be safe, and that means being able to spot brake trouble. Here are a few signs that may indicate a problem with the brakes on your vehicle.
A growling or grinding noise when you apply the brakes is often the first sign of trouble. This noise is usually caused by worn brake pads or a defective rotor. You may also notice a leak of brake fluid when your car is not in use. This is a serious indicator of trouble. Finally, the inability of your brakes to properly stop your car likely means brake repair is a must.
Any of these signs should be taken seriously. Braking systems contain many individual parts. Failing to act when there is damage to one part of the braking system can often bring more expensive repairs.
