We all know how important brakes are. Without them, you wouldn't be able to slow down or stop, which would lead to a disastrous situation. Fortunately, the brake system shows warning signs, alerting drivers that it's time to have their brakes inspected or repaired. If you keep up with regular brake maintenance and repairs, your brakes will last for many miles to come.

How do You Know it's Time for Your Brakes to be Repaired?

There are a few red flags that you'll want to be aware of. These include:

• Shuddering or Shaking - If your car shakes when you stop, something may be wrong with your rotors.
• Squealing or Screeching - If you hear a loud squeal whenever you apply the brakes, your brake pads need to be replaced.
• Spongy Brake Pedal - If your brake pedal goes all the way to the floor when you use it, it's time to have your brake line checked.
• It's Been Awhile Since Your Last Brake Inspection - You should have your brakes inspected at least once a year. It's a quick and easy task that can be done along with your routine oil change.
