We know you love to ignore the warning lights that suddenly appear on your dashboard. (If you just pretend they aren’t there, they will go away, right?) However, when your brake warning light comes on, you don’t want to close your eyes and hope for some magic. This light comes on for a reason, so do yourself a favor and take it to a brake repair specialist who can run a full car diagnostic and brake check.
Applying the brakes shouldn’t cause you to want to cover your ears. These sounds often indicate that your brakes or specific brake parts (like the rotors or pads) are in sore need of brake repair or replacement.
Does your car begin to shake when you push down on the brakes? Well, it shouldn’t. The brake shakes could indicate that your brake rotors need to be serviced, repaired, or replaced. (Car vibrations can also indicate the need for tire alignment or balancing, so don’t ignore it!)
If you notice the smell of burning tire rubber or metal, know that you need to get your car into an auto-repair shop. When these smells are clearly coming from your car, the cause can be anything from a worn-out part to a complete brake malfunction.
Auto repair technicians say that the need to push your brakes all the way to the car floor is often a first sign that you need to seek out brake repair.
