Second secret about your brakes? LISTEN!
Are you hearing that tell tale high pitched screeching sound? You are receiving that audible sound as a warning built into your braking system that you need to replace your brakes. Once in awhile that can be moisture on your brakes or in your break linings, but, hear it repeatedly and get your self to a mechanic ASAP. Remember we have a mechanic on duty at 79-20 Queens Blvd 718-458-2500 open 7 days a week.

Other signs you may be headed for the ultimate warning of brake failure (an accident!):

GRINDING SOUND: this is a metal to metal sound with your brakes indicating they are completely worn out; your mechanic may tell you that “your rotors need to be turned” or very possibly your rotors and brakes will need to be replaced.

PULLING TO ONE SIDE OR ANOTHER:
This is caused by your brakes wearing unevenly or something in your brake line. Your brake lining may have to be cleaned out and the fluid having to replaced.

VIBRATION: Vibrations or pulsating brake pedal can be a symptom of warped rotors (but can also indicate that your vehicle is out of alignment; 106 St Tire & Wheel locations do wheel alignments for most cars for $45 www.106sttire.com/wheel-alignment ). Have antilock brakes? Well, the vibration can feel similar to the pulsating feeling brake pedal during a fast stop.

BRAKES ARE LESS RESPONSIVE: If it’s taking you longer to stop or your break pedal is going to the floor boards please address this immediately. There could be a leak in your braking system and not being able to stop your vehicle in an emergency is dangerous.
