Why Change Your Brakes?

Brakes and pads aren't something you take into consideration often, but they are the single most important factor when it comes to slowing down and stopping your vehicle. Here are Crenwelge motors tips and tricks on how to know when you need new brakes.

Look and Listen to your brakes. There are 2 ways to check your brakes for daily wear and tear. First by inspecting 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 measure less than this you should visit us here in Kerrville, TX for an inspection. Second is a screeching or whistling 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 have your brake pads replaced. If you hear it regularly, quickly schedule an appointment with your friendly technicians at Crenwelge Motors.
