Auto repair Things you should know
Your brakes have a few ways of alerting you. If your brake light goes on when your parking brake is off, you need to check your brake fluid levels. A brake fluid leak manifests itself by sight (a light amber color) and a smell that is distinctive. Rotor surface issues cause vibrations of the brake pedal or wheel. Brakes that need repair may squeal until you come to a full stop or when you release the brake pedal.
