🚗 Don’t Ignore Your Brakes Your Safety Depends on Them! 🚦

As winter creeps in and roads get wetter, your car’s brakes become even more essential. Braking distances increase on slippery surfaces, so it’s crucial to make sure your brakes are in top shape.

Why it matters:

Brakes are your car’s most important safety feature.
Wet and icy roads make stopping harder and take longer.
Ignoring strange noises can lead to costly repairs—or worse, accidents.

Listen for these warning signs:
Squealing, grinding, or clicking noises
A “soft” or spongy brake pedal
Car pulling to one side when braking

Winter Brake Tips:

Get your brakes checked before the cold sets in
Keep your brake fluid topped up
Drive slower and leave extra space between cars
Replace worn brake pads immediately

Stay safe this winter listen to your car and don’t take chances with your brakes!
