When you combine the steep rolling landscape with the harsh winters that our area produces year after year, it’s important to know where to go for brake service in Platteville.  Let’s face it, when you need to stop … you need to stop.  And during the winter season in southwestern Wisconsin, the state of your vehicle’s brakes can mean the difference between life and death. 

There are signs to watch and listen for that may indicate it’s time for brake maintenance.  Your brake pads likely have built in warning features (squealers) that will alert you when brake maintenance is needed. 

If you hear a grinding or squealing sound when you apply the brakes, it’s an indicator that your brakes may need service.  If you do hear something you think is brake-related, it’s important to get your vehicle in for an inspection right away.

Also every time you use your brakes, pay attention to how your vehicle reacts and how the pedal feels under your foot.  If your vehicle pulls to one side, has difficulty stopping, or if the steering wheel shudders when the brakes are applied, then you should call our service center to set up an appointment as soon as possible to have your brakes inspected. 

Brake repairs are one of the most commonly performed vehicle services and it is important to have your brakes checked about once a year by a service technician.
