Our Mazda service center in Fairless Hills is always in your corner. Our dealership-driver relationship doesn’t end when you drive off our lot in a new Mazda car.

Some of the most important vehicle parts to maintain are your brakes, so we hope you can trust us to assist you whenever you experience brake problems. You’ll thank yourself for coming in sooner rather than later!  

Brake Repair Warning Signs 

  • Lights on your dashboard. If a red brake warning light comes on in your car, we urge you to take it to us so we can check out your brakes.
  • Strange sounds. Squealing, squeaking, or grinding noises when you press on the brake indicate that your brake pads may be worn well beyond what is ideal.  
  • Unusual vibrations. Shakiness in your steering wheel or vibrations in your brake pedal can indicate something is awry with the braking, alignment, or other parts of your car.  
  • Burning smell. Brake rotors and other parts of the braking system grinding together can produce a burning smell. This type of smell resembles the smell tractor trailers make going down hill on the turnpike.
  • Leaking fluid. Depending on the color and odor of the fluid that leaks under your car, you can identify what the issue may be. A light color fluid that resembles vegetable oil could very well be leaking brake fluid.  
  • Difficulty braking or steering. Easily the most nerve-wracking sign, your car pulling to one side or not coming to a stop as quickly as it should is a huge red flag.  

Entrust our dealers at Peruzzi Mazda to remedy these issues as soon as possible. We’ll make sure your car is as healthy and safe as it can be.
