Why Are Brakes Even More Important in Winter?
Winter driving conditions are notoriously hazardous due to how your car handles slippery snow, ice, and slush. Slippery roads reduce tire traction, making it harder to stop quickly. Your brakes need to be in peak condition to maintain control of your vehicle and prevent accidents. Worn brake pads, corroded rotors, or low brake fluid can significantly compromise your stopping power when you need it most.
Signs Your Brakes Need Attention
Before winter arrives, keep an eye (and ear) out for signs that your brakes need service. Common indicators include squeaking or grinding noises, vibrations when braking, or a spongy feeling in your brake pedal. If you notice any of these, it’s time to bring your vehicle in for an inspection. Don’t wait for the first November 2024 snowfall to realize your brakes aren’t ready for the season.
