What We Check During a Brake Inspection
Brake problems aren’t always obvious. That’s why every brake inspection at Austin’s Automotive Specialists in North Austin includes a full system check. If you’ve been searching for brake repair near me, here’s what you can expect when you bring your vehicle in:
- Brake pad wear, thickness, and any uneven patterns
- Rotor condition, including heat spots or deep grooves
- Caliper movement and signs of sticking
- Brake fluid level and color
- Lines, hoses, and signs of leaks
- Brake warning lights or ABS system alerts
After we take a look, we’ll explain what we find and what it means for your vehicle. If your brakes are in good shape, you’ll know it. If something needs attention, you’ll get a clear explanation and a solid plan.
Signs You Might Need Brake Service
Brake issues often start small. You might not notice anything at first, but certain warning signs are worth paying attention to. Spotting problems early can prevent bigger repairs later.
Here are some common signs your brakes might need service:
- Squeaking, grinding, or scraping sounds when stopping
- A soft or spongy brake pedal
- Vibration or pulsing when you press the brakes
- Brake or ABS warning lights on the dash
- A burning smell after heavy braking
Even if your car still stops fine, these symptoms could mean trouble is starting to build. If anything feels off, it’s worth getting it checked. Our team will inspect your brakes and explain what’s going on.
