Brake Replacement in Amsterdam, NY

When do I need new brakes?

Do you have to slam your foot to the floor board when using your brakes or do you hear squeaky noises when using them? These are huge indicators your vehicle needs new brakes. One of the biggest signs you need new brakes is when you hear squealing noises, chirping sounds or a grinding noise. Be sure to have your radio volume turned all the way down so you can listen for the strange noises when you're unsure. Other important signs that mean you need new brakes is if the brake pedal vibrates when used, or if it's taking longer than it should to get your vehicle to actually stop. If you have to press your foot completely to the floor board, it is a sign your brakes are worn.

Another dangerous sign includes if your car pulls to one side when you're driving. The brakes not working correctly can affect your steering rack and can cause your car to veer to left or right when using brakes. Whether you need new brake pads, brake rotors, or need your brake lines or brake hoses replaced, we can help you find out exactly what is wrong with your vehicle and get it fixed. It is best to have brakes replaced every 25,000 to 65,000 miles but can sometimes be sooner depending on driver, environment, and more.
