Signs Your
Vehicle Needs Brake Repairs
Sometimes,
issues with your brakes are not immediately apparent, and it's up to you to
monitor your vehicle's performance to watch out for changes. Butte drivers can
catch issues before they become more serious by paying attention to how their brakes
sound and feel. Some of the red flags that indicate your vehicle needs brake
repairs include:
- Squealing
or scraping sounds when braking
- A burning
smell around your brakes
- Spongy
braking
- A long
brake pedal travel distance
If you
experience any of these issues, we recommend you bring in your vehicle as soon
as possible.
When to
Change Your Brake Pads
A crucial
aspect of brake maintenance and repair is changing your brake pads. Most
vehicles need their brake pads changed every 30,000 and 70,000 miles. However,
you may need to change your brake pads more often if you brake hard around
Bozeman or experience stop-and-go traffic often. We recommend you consult your
owner's manual and our service team to discover the best interval for you.
