What are the most common brake problems?

At Budget Brakes, we see all types of brake problems, ranging from simple to very serious. We would like to take the time to explain problems and solutions of common brake problems that many of our customers experience.

Warning light indicators such as “ABS” or “BRAKE” in the cars dash are a reason for concern among many customers. These lights can indicate anything from low brake fluid to a problem in the brake system, so it is important to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified technician to ensure that there are no serious problems.

Squeaking brakes are one of the most common problems we see at Budget Brakes. If a vehicle’s brakes do this every time they are applied it is best to have the brakes inspected, as this can mean anything from dust build-up to broken parts.

Brakes that lock when they are applied are not as common as some other brake problems, but this is still a serious problem that occurs somewhat often. If the brakes lock every single time they are applied, the vehicle should be serviced immediately because this poses a serious threat to the driver, especially if the brakes must be applied quickly.

These are some common problems that customers have with their brakes, and if your vehicle is experiencing any of these, bring it to Budget Brakes for a free inspection.
