Brakes: What do I need to know?
The Importance of Tires
How do I know when my brakes need service?
Proper maintenance of your vehicle's braking system is a must for performance and safety. Here are some signs that your brakes are due for service:
- Simple. Your brake light is on. If the emergency brake is not engaged and your brake light is on, schedule an appointment with us to have your braking system thoroughly checked.
- Or, when pressed, the brake pedal almost reaches the floor. If your brake pedal goes almost to the floor when you press it, have us check your brakes immediately.
- You've noticed your vehicle is taking longer than usual to stop. If this is the case, have your brakes checked immediately.
- You hear squealing or a grinding sound. Brakes squeal when the brake pads are worn and need to be replaced. If the brake pads are completely worn, the rotors will begin to make a grinding sound. Bring your vehicle to Beaverton Toyota for all brake and servicing needs.
Brakes are one of the most important parts on your Toyota. They should be serviced on a regular basis so that your car remains safe to operate.
What else can affect brake performance?
You should also be aware of your brake fluid, brake pads, and master cylinder when experiencing any issues with your vehicle. If your brake pedal starts to give or feels squishy, one of these parts likely has an issue. If you're noticing that it's harder to stop on inclines or in inclement weather, you need to get your car checked out as soon as possible.
