There are a number of different causes for brake squealing, fortunately not all of them are an immediate cause for concern. We know at Pyle Automotive that sometimes this noise can be the result of moisture and dirt build up on your rotors. This is often the case and you can feel confident that your brakes are still working as they should. Squealing, however, can also indicate more serious problems, such as overly worn brake pads or damage to the rotors’ structural integrity, among other possibilities. If you hear continuous noise coming from your brakes for more than a day, have them inspected right away. Trust Pyle Automotive to provide you with the expert care and attention your brakes need.

Your brake pedal’s firmness is a direct result of the condition of your brake lines and fluid. If there is air in your brake lines or if your fluid level is low, your brake pedal will fall towards the floor before it engages the brakes. This is no laughing matter. Your brakes are giving you the very serious warning that they are about to fail. Be proactive and keep your vehicle safe by taking care of this problem as soon as possible. Trust Pyle Automotive to keep your brakes working in optimal condition.

Warped rotors are the primary cause of vibrating brakes. Rotors will warp over time and with heavy braking or overheating. These issues cause the rotors to lose the perfect flatness they should have. This will cause a noticeable shaking when the brake pads meet the rotors. Your car will still be able to brake with warped rotors, however it may take longer to come to a stop. The safest option is to not delay and to have this problem looked at right away. If you are having any of the problems described above, please contact Pyle Automotive to make an appointment. We’re here to help.

Every time you bring your vehicle into Pyle Automotive for an oil change is a great time to check and ensure that your brake fluid is in good shape. We recommend that our customers get their brake fluid checked at least once a year.
