When to Book a Brake Inspection
Bring your vehicle in if you notice any of these common brake warning signs:
-
Squealing or chirping while braking
-
Grinding noise (often indicates metal-on-metal contact)
-
Vibration in the steering wheel or brake pedal when stopping
-
Brake pedal feels soft, spongy, or sinks lower than normal
-
Longer stopping distance or reduced braking feel
-
Vehicle pulls left or right when braking
-
Burning smell after braking (possible overheated brakes)
-
Parking brake not holding properly
-
Brake warning light on the dash
If you’re experiencing grinding, pulling, or a warning light, we recommend checking it as soon as possible.
Why Brakes Need Attention Sooner Than People Expect
Brakes wear over time—and Calgary driving conditions (cold weather, stop-and-go traffic, hills, and road grit) can speed up wear. Catching brake issues early can help prevent:
-
Rotor damage
-
Caliper problems
-
Overheating and brake fade
-
Higher repair costs later
A quick inspection today can save a big repair tomorrow.
What’s Included in Our Brake Inspection
Our technicians follow a consistent safety standard and may check:
-
Brake pad and rotor condition (thickness, wear pattern, scoring)
-
Caliper operation and slide pins
-
Brake fluid condition and leaks
-
Brake hoses and lines
-
Parking brake function (where applicable)
-
