Signs that Your Car Needs Brake Service or Replacement
Issues with your brakes can build up slowly and may not be immediately apparent. However, you can catch most problems before they become serious by watching out for red flags. Some of the signs that indicate you need brake service include:
• Decreased stopping power and longer stopping distances
• Spongy braking or a long pedal travel distance
• Screeching or scraping when you brake
The screeching or scarping sound of brakes intentionally warn drivers that the brake pads are nearly out of gripping surface. Small metal hairs in the last segment of the brake pads make loud noises when braking and indicate the driver should replace their brakes as soon as possible.
When Should I Replace My Brakes?
You should replace your brakes every 12,000 miles or so. However, hard braking and stop-and-go traffic can wear your brakes faster than expected. Be sure to check your owner's manual and consult our service team for the right interval for your vehicle. We offer genuine Toyota parts so that you can find the perfect replacement brakes for your car.
