Why Change Your Brakes?

Brakes might not be something you think about very often, but the brakes in your car are one feature that should be always in great working condition. Here are some tips from Rath Auto Resources on how to know when you needs new brakes.

Look and Listen to your Brakes. There are 2 major ways to check your brakes for wear and tear. First by checking your brake pads through the spaces between the wheel's spokes or rims. Generally there should be at least 1/4 inch of pad. If you see less you should visit us here in Fort Smith, AR for an inspection. Second is that screeching sound you hear when your car starts slowing down. That's the metal shim called an indicator giving you an audible warning that you need to replace your brake pads. If you hear it regularly, quickly schedule an appointment with your friendly technicians at Rath Auto.
