When To Schedule Brake Service

It’s best to have your brakes inspected at least once a year — or immediately if you notice:

  • Squealing, grinding, or clicking noises when braking
  • A soft or spongy pedal feel
  • Vehicle pulling to one side when stopping
  • Increased stopping distance or vibration in the steering wheel

Ignoring brake warning signs can lead to rotor damage, longer stops, and higher repair costs later. At Mike’s Auto Service, we’ll provide a clear diagnosis, explain your options, and never recommend unnecessary repairs.

Car Brake FAQs

Can I wait until my brake warning light comes on to get service?2025-10-31T03:06:20-04:00

It’s best not to wait — many brake problems develop before the dashboard light triggers. If you notice unusual noises or performance changes, visit Mike’s Auto Service for a quick inspection to stay ahead of costly repairs.

Do you use OEM or aftermarket brake parts?2025-10-31T03:06:02-04:00

We offer both OEM-equivalent and premium aftermarket brake components, depending on your preference and budget. All parts meet or exceed manufacturer standards.

What does it mean if my brake pedal feels soft or goes to the floor?2025-10-31T03:05:45-04:00

A soft pedal could be caused by air in the brake lines, a fluid leak, or a failing master cylinder. It’s a serious issue — schedule a brake inspection immediately.

Why are my brakes squeaking or grinding?2025-10-31T03:05:29-04:00

Squeaking often means worn pads or glazed rotors. Grinding usually indicates metal-on-metal contact — meaning the pads are completely worn and need immediate replacement to prevent rotor damage.

How often should I replace my brake pads?2025-10-31T03:05:04-04:00

Most brake pads last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles, depending on driving habits, vehicle type, and pad quality. Our team can measure your brake wear and recommend the right time for replacement.
