Have you ever thought about the most important part of your vehicle’s safety? Without a doubt, brakes are the strongest line of defense between you and an accident. Harris Garage of Hayes, Virginia cares about your safety and offers the maintenance and knowledge you need to diagnose a brake issue. We believe in keeping your family safe. We also work on all makes and models, so we exclude no vehicles.
Issues
Keep in mind that brake wear is natural and expected as you drive your vehicle and slow it down for stop signs and traffic. Your brakes are also capable of telling you they are wearing out with a high-pitched whine. This sound is a piece of metal within the brake that contacts inside your vehicle to make a noticeable warning sound that you should have a place like Harris Garage replace your brakes soon.
You might have a larger issue if you hear a louder grinding sound. This can be the sound of your brake pads wearing completely through, forcing your rotors against the wheel instead. This is not good and means that brake failure could happen. Bring it to us at Harris Garage and our ASE Certified Technicians will inspect the entire problem to ensure we find the right solution.
Your brakes might also make sound because of moisture, dust, or debris. A build up moisture especially can cause a small layer of rust to build on your breaks, especially after sitting for a few days. Listen carefully and make sure the sound goes away after a few miles of driving, as the problem should fix itself. If it does not, we are happy to help.
One brake issue that can offer outside of the actual brake is with brake fluid. Your brake fluid can leak, leading to a lack of pressure when you push the brake pedal. Watch for leaks on the ground, as brake fluid is often yellow or similarly bright. If you can’t identify a leak, bring it and we’ll help.
