Ensuring the safety of your vehicle on the roads around the New Castle County area hinges on having reliable brakes. The ability to stop swiftly, with the assurance that your brakes will respond effectively, is paramount. However, with each use, brakes undergo gradual wear and tear.

Indicators of Brake System Issues:

Encountering a situation where your vehicle struggles to stop is an undesirable scenario. Brake issues often manifest warning signs, and if you observe any of the following, it's crucial to bring your vehicle in to Benchmark Transmission & Auto Care promptly:

Thin Brake Pads: Check the thickness of your brake pads visible between the wheel spokes. If worn to under 1/4 of an inch, it's time for servicing.

Squeaky Brakes: Brakes should operate quietly. Squeaks or metal-on-metal sounds signal the need for servicing, often indicated by a built-in metal shim.

Grinding Brakes: Grinding implies worn brake pads, potentially requiring additional repairs like rotor replacement.

Poor Responsiveness: A loose or excessively pushed brake pedal may indicate issues with brake lines, such as air in the line or fluid leaks.

Braking Vibration: Warped brake rotors can cause vibrations when stopping, especially after challenging driving conditions.

Don't wait if you're experiencing these problems, as your vehicle's stopping ability may be compromised. Visit Benchmark Transmission & Auto Care in Newark & Middletown for assistance.
