When to Have Your Brakes Serviced

In general, if there are sounds, smells or sensations coming from your car that are out of the ordinary, you should have it checked out. It can be hard to determine what is causing these problems, and even your brake light coming on does not necessarily mean that your brake is the problem. However, this and other signs could indicate that you need a brake repair.

For example, if your car starts tugging to one side when you use the brake pedal or if you feel vibrations in the steering wheel or pedal, your brakes could be wearing out. Another sign that parts of your brake could need repair or replacement is a grinding or high-pitched noise when you brake.

You should immediately pull over in Amsterdam, NY if there is a burning smell. At Mangino Chevrolet, we can inspect your vehicle and let you know if it’s safe to get back on the road.
