Winter - Brakes
What's one of the biggest safety components on your vehicle? Your brakes! If you're a Michigander, you may know that the roads can be rough in the winter season. With all the snow, slush, sleet, and ice, it's imperative your car's components work properly to keep you safe. We recommend you schedule a winter brake inspection for your safety this season at Serra Honda Grandville, because your brakes are so important in West Michigan's winter weather! Not to mention, regular inspections and routine maintenance can help extend the life of your vehicle. Read below for signs your brakes need maintenance or service, tips for keeping your brakes in good condition, and reasons why you should have your brakes serviced at Serra Honda Grandville.
Do Your Brakes Need Maintenance or Service?
Overtime your brakes will wear normally, and can sometimes wear more quickly if your driving habits include heavy brake use. Even if your brakes are stopping your vehicle, they may still need to be serviced. Below are some common signs that your brakes aren't working optimally, and may need maintenance or service.
- Screeching sound when the brakes are applied
- Grinding noise or feeling on your foot when the brakes are applied
- Brake pedal becomes hard to push
- Brake pedal feels soft or goes all the way to the floor
- Brake pedals are shedding metallic flakes
- Brake pedal vibrates
What Can You Do to Keep Your Brakes in Good Condition?
- Make sure to regularly wash your car during the winter to rid of the road salt that can often stick to vehicle components and cause rusting.
- Keep an eye and ear out for the signs listed above.
