Brakes are one of the most important components of your vehicle. You need the confidence of knowing that when you press your foot to the brake, your vehicle is going to stop. That's why it's important to keep these tips in mind to help keep your brakes functioning properly. Schedule an appointment with us at Van Meter Auto Repair for a brake service checkup today!

You should have your brakes checked at least once a year, but if you drive frequently in city traffic or live in a hilly area you should be getting them checked more often. It's important to never drive with the parking brake on as this could do damage to your vehicle. If you hear a high-pitched squeak or experience shaking or vibrations when you use your brakes, you should have them checked by one of our technicians immediately. Another sign of brake or bearing issues is scratching or grinding noise in your vehicle when driving. It's important to have brake fluid tested and replaced as needed. If you find yourself having to add fluid more than once every few months, you may have a leak and should bring it to our shop here in Mantua. When it comes to brake repair, we have you covered, come see our technicians at Van Meter Auto Repair.
