Getting around Scranton will be hazardous if your brake pedals aren't up to par. When you press on the pedal, friction's applied to a drum or disc that stops the car. Brake pads wear down and how long they last depends strictly on driving habits. Here are a few things Matt Burne Honda wants drivers to know that signal your brake pedals may need replacing.
You get a screeching whine when you hit the brakes
It takes longer to get the car to stop
The lower brake pedal's sitting closer to the floor
There's a consistent squealing or grinding
You're feeling pulsations in the brake pedal
These obvious signs indicate you should get your car to a shop promptly. Your owner's manual recommends when to go for routine maintenance and brake inspection should be part of the process. While a seasoned mechanic knows to check brake pads, it's a good idea to let them know you'd like that.
