Your brakes are arguably the most critical safety system in your vehicle. They're your first line of defense in preventing accidents, and they work hard every single time you drive. At O'Steen Volkswagen of Jacksonville, we understand the importance of a reliable braking system. That's why we perform a thorough brake inspection with every service appointment. But you also play a crucial role in maintaining your brakes. Being aware of the signs of brake trouble can save you money, and potentially even prevent an accident.

How do you know if your brakes need attention? Here are some signs it's time to visit our Service Center:

• Squealing or Squeaking: This is one of the most common indicators of worn brake pads. That high-pitched noise you hear when you brake is often a warning from your brake pads themselves. They have a built-in indicator designed to make noise when they're nearing the end of their lifespan. Don't ignore this!
• Grinding or Shaking: If you feel a grinding sensation or your steering wheel shakes when you brake, it could mean your brake pads are severely worn, and the rotors are now being damaged. This is a more serious issue and requires immediate attention. Continuing to drive with damaged rotors can be dangerous and lead to more extensive (and expensive) repairs.
• Longer Stopping Distances: Have you noticed it takes longer to bring your car to a complete stop? This is a major red flag. Worn brake pads, damaged rotors, or even low brake fluid can all contribute to increased stopping distances. Don't gamble with your safety ‐ get your brakes checked immediately.
• Pulsating Brake Pedal: A pulsating or vibrating brake pedal can indicate warped rotors. While not always immediately dangerous, warped rotors can cause uneven braking and lead to other problems. It's best to have them inspected and addressed by our expert technicians.
• Leaking Brake Fluid: Brake fluid is essential for the proper operation of your brakes. If you notice a dark, oily fluid leaking near your wheels, it could be brake fluid. This is a serious issue and requires immediate attention. Do not drive your vehicle until it's been inspected and repaired.
• Unusual Noises: Beyond squealing and grinding, keep an ear out for any other unusual noises when you brake, such as clicking, clunking, or scraping. These could indicate a variety of issues, from loose parts to more serious mechanical problems.
