Common Signs Your Vehicle Needs Repair
Don’t ignore brake problems before they become more serious or expensive to repair.
If you notice any of the following warning signs, it’s time to schedule a brake inspection.
Squeaking or Squealing Brakes
High-pitched squeaking or squealing can be a sign that your brake pads are worn and approaching replacement.
Grinding Brakes
Grinding noises can indicate severely worn brake pads or metal-to-metal contact within the braking system. Continuing to drive may damage additional brake components.
Vibration While Braking
If your brake pedal or steering wheel vibrates when you apply the brakes, worn or uneven rotors or another braking issue may be responsible.
Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal
A brake pedal that feels unusually soft or spongy may indicate air in the hydraulic system, a fluid leak, or another brake system problem.
Vehicle Pulling While Braking
If your vehicle pulls toward one side when you brake, uneven brake wear, a sticking caliper, or another braking or suspension problem may be responsible.
Longer Stopping Distance
If your vehicle takes noticeably longer to stop than usual, worn brake components or another braking problem may be affecting stopping performance.
Brake Warning Light
An illuminated brake warning light can indicate several different problems and should be professionally inspected.
ABS Warning Light
An ABS warning light indicates that the anti-lock braking system has detected a fault. Professional diagnostics can identify the component causing the warning.
Burning Smell After Braking
A strong burning smell after braking can be caused by overheated brakes or a sticking brake component and should be inspected promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does brake repair cost?
Brake repair costs depend on your vehicle and which components need repair or replacement. A simple brake pad replacement will typically cost less than repairs involving rotors, calipers, brake lines, ABS components, or other parts. We inspect your braking system and explain the recommended repairs before work begins.
How do I know if my brake pads need to be replaced?
Common signs include squeaking, squealing, grinding, reduced braking performance, or longer stopping distances. Because brake wear varies by vehicle and driving conditions, a physical inspection is the best way to determine the condition of your brake pads.
Why are my brakes squeaking?
Brake squeaking can be caused by worn brake pads, brake dust, moisture, glazed components, or brake pad wear indicators. If the noise continues or becomes worse, a professional brake inspection can determine the cause.
Is it safe to drive with grinding brakes?
Driving with grinding brakes is not recommended. Grinding may indicate severely worn brake pads and metal-to-metal contact. Continuing to drive can reduce braking performance and cause additional damage.
Why does my steering wheel shake when I brake?
Vibration while braking can be caused by worn or uneven brake rotors, brake system wear, or certain steering and suspension problems. A professional inspection is needed to identify the exact cause.
What causes a soft or spongy brake pedal?
A soft or spongy brake pedal can be caused by air in the hydraulic system, low brake fluid, a fluid leak, a failing master cylinder, or another brake system problem. Because these issues can affect stopping performance, the vehicle should be inspected promptly.
Why is my ABS light on?
The ABS warning light indicates that your vehicle’s anti-lock braking system has detected a problem. The cause may involve a wheel speed sensor, wiring, or another ABS component. Professional diagnostics can identify the source of the warning.
How long does brake repair take?
Many common brake repairs can often be completed the same day, depending on the repairs required, your vehicle, parts availability, and the shop schedule. After inspecting your vehicle, we’ll explain what needs to be repaired and provide an estimated completion time.
Do you work on foreign and domestic vehicles?
Yes. Mitch Repair provides brake repair for many domestic and foreign cars, trucks, and SUVs. Call us with your vehicle’s year, make, and model if you’d like to confirm service availability.
