When should I replace my brakes?
As soon as your vehicle begins to experience the symptoms of worn-out brakes, it's time to let the factory-trained Audi technicians at Santa Monica Audi properly inspect and service your brakes. Fortunately, you can typically notice several of the warning signs of weakening brakes just from driving your vehicle. Below are a few potential indicators of an issue with your brake system.
- A metal-on-metal "grinding" or "screeching" sound when applying your brakes.
- Feeling a vibration or your vehicle pulling to the side during braking.
- Greater pressure required to depress the brake pedal.
- A "spongy" or soft feeling in the brake pedal along with increased pedal travel.
- A "Brake Service Required" dashboard warning indicator light has appeared.
