When Brakes Go Bad.

If there is a more important part of your vehicle other than the engine itself, we don’t know what it would be. Your brakes are literally the lifeline of your vehicle…German made or not. Any decent braking system MUST have good brake pads. When you step on the brake pedal, the brake pads get pressed onto the disc rotors and create friction.

Here are some warning signs of brake pads going bad –

 

1.  Those unsettling squealing sounds.

2.  The brake pedal seems to be getting spongier.

3.  You don’t slow to a stop as quickly.

4.  The trouble light goes on the dashboard.

Brakes are so very important…especially on the often dangerous roads of the Rockies and the Denver area in general. Have your brakes checked at the brake experts located in Littleton. 5115 South Santa Fe Drive is where you will find The German Car Shoppe. Please visit them today at thegermancarshoppe.com.
