There’s nothing like driving around New Jersey in the summer—your windows are down, your tunes are on, and the sun is shining through the windshield of your new or pre-owned Kia vehicle. You pull up to a stoplight, and all of a sudden, your car screeches like something out of a horror movie.
Nothing kills a summer vibe like bad brakes, so here are three signs it might be time to search for a “service center near me” and get your brakes checked here at Sansone Kia.
Inconsistent Brake Pedal
Maybe you have to push your brake pedal all the way to the floor to stop, or maybe the slightest tap makes your vehicle jerk to a halt. In either case, you’ll want to take your car in. These symptoms could mean anything from worn pads or dirty brake fluid, to more serious problems, like hydraulic system issues or an unevenly worn rotor. Schedule a service appointment and one of our technicians will diagnose your problem and recommend a solution.
Strange Sounds
This is the most obvious sign that your brakes need attention. Any type of high-pitched squealing means your pads need to be replaced. A grinding, metal-on-metal sound means you’ve worn through your pads and need to take your car in before serious damage is done. Check out our car parts specials for deals on brake pads and other items.
Good Bad Vibrations
There’s a reason the Beach Boys didn’t write a song about the bad vibrations you might feel when pressing on your brake pedal. Typically, rapid pulsing or vibrating means you have warped rotors due to extreme stress on your brakes over a prolonged period. Other causes include misaligned tires. Either way, it’s a good idea to find brake service near Union, NJ and have a technician look at your car.
Don’t let faulty or worn brakes spoil your summer car trips. If you’ve experienced any of the above signs, bring your vehicle into our NJ Kia dealership, and we’ll get you back on the road quickly.
