Hearing funny sounds when you need to slow down your vehicle? Have you noticed your car feeling bumpy when you try to slow down? Or how about almost rear-ending that car in front of you that had to slam on their brakes? These are just a few indicators that your brakes may need to be inspected. As a standard practice, it’s best to get your car’s brakes checked every six months, or every time you get your tires rotated. But if you drive in heavy bumper to bumper brake traffic, or do lots of downhill driving, you may need yours checked sooner.
