A well-maintained vehicle is a safer vehicle. For no other maintenance task is this as obvious as brake repair. Without brakes working to their full power, you may find it takes longer to come to a full stop. If you need to make an unexpected stop to avoid a deer, a pedestrian, or another vehicle, your car's stopping power is essential.

Fortunately, this Chevrolet video teaches drivers one easy way to tell if their brakes are wearing out -- squeal.

Most of the makes and models sold at Ramey Auto Group have brake-wear indicators called "squealers" built in. If you hear a screeching noise when you press on the brakes, it's time to schedule a service appointment. Whether or not you can hear audible brake squeal, it's a good idea to have your brakes inspected ever 7,500 miles or so as part of routine maintenance. The sooner you catch and repair worn-out brake pads, the safer you, your passengers, and your neighbors remain.
