When Was the Last Time You Had Your Brakes Checked?

Brakes can go bad any time of the year, but in the dead of winter it is especially important to have good working brakes on your vehicle. Remember just before the pandemic started? That was about a year ago. If you have not had your car’s brakes tested since then…it has been much longer than it should be!

Maybe you have driven a lot less in the last 12 months, but that does not mean your brakes aren’t going bad. The sounds, smells and sensations of brake problems such as screeching, grinding, squealing, rubbing, and other uncomfortable noises are common indicators that your brake pads and shoes require inspection.
