  Signs Indicating You Need Brake Service
  If you’ve been noticing strange sounds, smells, or a decrease in pressure as you apply weight to the brake pedal, it may be time to get a brake check. At Auto Specialty, we have a wireless diagnostic system and Road Simulator to quickly and easily find the root cause of your vehicle’s mechanical issues. Typical symptoms that your vehicle may be in need of service include:
  Screeching or grinding sounds – The common cause for these sounds comes from malfunctioning brake pads, brake rotors, and brake shoes.
  Shaking of steering wheel when applying brake pedal – This is a more advanced sign that your brake rotors have worn down and require replacement.
  Fully depressed pedal when braking – This is usually the first sign that you need to be replacing brake pads on your vehicle.
  Smell of burning rubber or metal – Strange odors emanating from your tires or under your car could mean extreme decay of any brake system component, and may be a sign of complete malfunction. Come see the professionals at Auto Specialty right away and we will run a full diagnostic checkup on your car brakes.
  Brake warning lights – Warning lights could be the cause of faulty pads, shoes, or a simple code error. Auto Specialty will run a complete diagnostic and brake check on your vehicle to diagnose the problem quickly.
  If the warning signs are clear, don’t delay a brake repair or at least a brake check. Brake issues can escalate quickly from a small annoyance into the cause of a major car accident. Postponing a necessary brake repair can easily become a costly and dangerous mistake. Contact us today and be safely back on the road in no time!
