Your brakes play an important part in driving safety, and they can tell you when they need to be serviced. We explain the most common signs your vehicle needs brake service below. When your luxury German vehicle needs brake repairs or maintenance, contact G2 Automotive in Cumming, GA. G2 uses top-quality OEM parts.

The ABS Light Turns On

The ABS (anti-lock braking system) light may appear due to a variety of reasons, including low brake fluid levels, worn brake pads, or a braking system malfunction. Ignoring this warning could lead to poor braking performance and even traffic accidents. If you notice the brake light turning on, have your brakes examined by a professional certified and trained tech at G2 Automotive.

The Brakes Are Screeching or Squealing

High-pitched squeals and screeches indicate worn brake pads. Brake pads have a built-in sensor that produces this sound when they are overly worn, indicating that it is time to replace them. Ignoring these sounds may cause additional damage to the brake components, reducing their effectiveness. It's time to call G2 Automotive for your brake repair.

Grinding Metal

Metal-on-metal contact creates a grinding noise, which is often caused by severely worn brake pads or, in certain situations, a complete lack of brake pads. Ignoring this warning sound may cause significant damage to the rotors, compromising your ability to safely brake. Call G2 as soon as possible if your brakes are grinding.

Shaking

Shaking or vibrating sensations when braking may signal brake issues, often attributed to unevenly worn brake rotors or rotor warping. Uneven wear on the rotors can result in a shaky feeling when braking, while overheating and uneven cooling may cause rotor warping, leading to pulsating sensations. If you experience shaking during braking, we recommend bringing your vehicle to a qualified technician to inspect and address the underlying brake problems.
