It can feel like a daunting task to diagnose why the brakes on your car are not operating effectively. If you want an expert opinion, stop by Silance Tire & Service Center. Our brake repair service team can help you figure out the issue and fix it. Here are some common signs that your brakes need to be repaired:

You hear a high-pitched noise - When you hear a high-pitched sound when you brake, it’s usually a sign that your brake pads are worn down. The sound is coming from the steel clip attached to your brake pads scraping the rotor on your car. The steel clip is there to serve as an indicator that your brake pads are worn down and need to be replaced. If you think your brakes need attention, contact Silance Tire & Service Center to talk about our brake repair services. 

You hear a clicking sound - A clicking sound is an indication that your rotors need to be replaced and possibly your brake pads as well. The primary function of rotors on a car is to absorb the friction created by the brake pads when you brake. The more worn down your rotors are, the less friction they can absorb which results in the clicking sound. Our brake repair service team can take a look at your car and fix or replace the components of your brakes that are broken. 

Brakes are not as responsive - There should not be any lagging when you press the brake pedal in your car. If there is, bring your car to Silance Tire & Service Center to have your brake pads and rotors checked. Our brake repair service team has the skills and expertise to figure out the issue with your brakes and get them back to operating properly.
