Understandably, keeping a car in mint condition at all times is a challenging task. Unless you're a professional, catching problems before they arise is not easy. However, most drivers can detect a few signs before taking their cars to the auto repair shop, especially when it comes to their brakes. Below are some of the top signs that your brakes need service: Grinding or Screeching Sounds Your brakes should be almost silent every time you press on the pedal.
