Brake safety matters, and making sure your brakes are working properly is our number one priority. Come see a brake specialist at Marshall’s Auto if you notice the following signs:

1. Brake light comes on: This is the most obvious sign that your car needs its brakes examined. Please call to schedule an appointment to replace your brakes
2. Squeaking or squealing and loud grinding noises: That high-pitched noise is a big red flag that your brakes are worn down and need of replacement. This must be taken care of to reduce rotor damage.
3. Burning smell when braking: If you sense a strong chemical odor while braking, this is a sign that the brakes are worn and overheating. If you notice smoke while braking contact us as soon as possible.
4. Soft brakes: If your foot is sinking all the way to the floor board when braking, this means you brake system is “soft”. Your brake pedal should have some resistance when braking and should stop 1 to 1.5 inches from the floor board.
5. Leaking brake fluid: Usually when you are experiencing a soft brake situation, this also means that brake fluid is leaking from the system. Our brake mechanics can immediately identify this problem for you.
