MECHANICAL PROBLEMS

 

  • Make sure everything on the vehicle is operational, including the windshield wipers, lights, etc.

  • Check the brakes for alignment (i.e. pull) and worn brake pads.

  • Check the tires for tread and tire size matching.

  • Check under the hood by looking for battery for leaks, dirty oil, loose hoses, etc.

BRAKE REPAIRS
 

Do any of the following happen? If Yes, Call to have it looked at and fixed. This is a safety issue

Brake Pedal Goes Too Far Down to Stop. If you step on the brake pedal and it feels like it’s going too far down before you start to slow

Brake Pedal Goes to Floor. If you step on the brake pedal and it has little to no pressure and goes all the way to the floor

Brake Pedal Too Firm. If you step on the brake pedal and all of a sudden it feels like you’re doing leg presses at the gym with a new personal trainer, your brake pedal may be to firm

Weak or Spongy Brakes. Sometimes your brakes will still work, but they seem to have grown weak. It takes longer to stop, or you get less braking power when you apply the brakes suddenly.

Brakes Grabbing or Pulling. Your brakes should apply themselves smoothly and even when you push the pedal. If they seem to suddenly grab, or if they are pulling the car to one side

Pedal Vibration. If you step on the pedal and feel a vibration, you’re in for some troubleshooting. There are lots of things which can cause the pedal to vibrate when you apply the brakes. Remember, if your car is equipped with ABS (most are these days), the pedal will seem to vibrate when you brake very, very hard. The system does this to keep them from locking up. This is normal.

Brakes Dragging. Your brakes should let go immediately as you take your foot off the pedal. If they don’t, this can cause brake overheating as well as premature wear to brake parts

Brake Squealing or Whining.

Brakes Make a Clunking Sound
