Brake Service and Repair in Glendale Heights IL

While there is no exact timeline on how often you should have your brakes checked out, there are a few warning signs. If your vehicle is squeaking, vibrating or not responding right away while you stop, it is time to come in. You can visually inspect your brake pads as well. If you look through your tire spokes, you can see the pads compressed against the brake rotor. You should consider having your pads replaced if they are less than a quarter of an inch thick.

There are a few components of your brakes that should be checked out. Some of these components include the brake pads, rotors, drums and calipers. If you notice something wrong, always try to bring your vehicle in sooner rather than later. The longer you wait, the more expensive the damage can be. If you do not replace your brake pads, they often wear away and your brake discs and calipers start to make contact.
