Driving a car with deteriorating brakes is perhaps the biggest worry of all drivers. Audi Nashua has you covered if you’re in the Nashua, NH area searching for “brake service near me.”
There are plenty of warning signs that indicate a need for Audi brake service. Some are obvious, but you may not even notice others until it’s too late. Let’s look at some common signs that indicate your Audi’s brakes aren’t working right.
Loud, Unusual Noises When Braking
This is usually the first thing that comes to mind when people think of faulty brakes. Normal brakes work alongside the rest of your car’s parts to smoothly (and silently) bring it to a stop. Squealing, scraping, or cranking noises indicate that something in your braking system is struggling to function.
Braking Requires More Effort
Brakes can wear out over time, especially if they’re not maintained in the best of conditions. This reduces their effectiveness in stopping your car. If you’ve noticed that you need to put more force onto the brake pedal than usual, that’s a sign to get your brakes examined.
Vibrating Brake Pedal
Do you notice that your brake pedal is shaking when you press it down? That likely means your braking system is uneven — i.e., one of your brake pads might be more worn than the other.
Brake System Alert
Most Audis are equipped with a Brake System Alert that informs you of a malfunction via the dashboard. It’s an obvious sign, but even if you can’t detect any braking problems, it’s best to bring your Audi in for brake service anyway if this light triggers.
