Get Your Brakes Checked at Longmont-Area Fisher Kia
When to Replace Brake Pads — Look for These Signs
Brakes are something that we often take for granted in our vehicles. It’s understandable, since they don’t need the special attention that the oil and gas tank require. In fact, most brake pads last anywhere between 30,000 and 70,000 miles. Often times you don’t know you need to replace your brakes until it’s almost dangerous to drive on them. If you’re not sure if you’re due for new brake pads, come in to Fisher Kia and one of our certified technicians can check it out for you. However, if you experience any of the signs below, it’s definitely time to get your brakes replaced at Fisher Kia in Boulder.
Squealing Brakes — This indicates that the brake pad is being worn down, and the small amount of material left is rubbing against the rotor. You don’t have much time before it’s completely worn through and your brakes fail.
Shaking or Wiggling Steering Wheel — If your steering wheel stars to wiggle when you apply the brakes, that means your rotors are probably damaged and need to be changed.
Vehicle Pulls to One Side — If you are driving down the road and your vehicle drifts in a certain direction upon braking, you may need to get your brake pads changed.
Taking Longer to Stop — Do you have to pump your brakes? Is it taking you longer to slow down once you step on the brakes? Are you pressing the brake pedal all the way to the floor? You should be able to step on the brake pedal without much pressure and immediately feel them holding so you can slow down or stop. Any of the above-mentioned symptoms are signs that it’s time for new brake pads.
