Ask a Penn Muffler Mechanic- Brakes and Brake Repair

Q: Why do my brakes squeak?

A: Brakes can squeak for a variety of reasons, but continuous squeals and grinding sounds may mean it's time for new brake pads or shoes. Worn brakes can mean longer stopping distances and difficulty stopping in an emergency situation. Rotors and drums that are too thin may even become over-stressed and break.

Remember, if you notice any of these symptoms it's a good idea to have your brakes checked. In fact, we recommend that you have them inspected once a year. It's essential to be proactive about testing overall brake components to know whether a brake component needs simply to be serviced or totally replaced. Regular brake service and, when needed, simple brake repairs can mean a safer ride.

Q: My brake pedal feels really soft and spongy. Is this normal?

A: Definitely not. A low or spongy pedal can mean there's air in your car's brake hydraulic system. If that hydraulic pressure is too low, then your car's brake pads or shoes won't be able to apply enough force and friction to slow and/or stop your car safely.
