Common Signs of Bad Brakes
Do you trust your car’s brakes? If you have any doubts regarding the current condition of your brakes, it’s best to call or pay a visit to our auto repair shop for a brake inspection. The common warning signs of faulty brakes include: a feeling that the brakes pull when you push the pedal; a pulsing sensation in the brake pedal; grinding noises when braking; and wheels coated with brake dust.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my brakes need to be repaired or replaced?
The most common warning signs are grinding or squealing noises when you press the pedal, a pulsing or vibrating sensation in the brake pedal, the vehicle pulling to one side when braking, a soft or spongy pedal feel, or a brake warning light on the dashboard. Wheels coated in dark brake dust can also indicate worn pads. If you notice any of these, bring your vehicle in for an inspection. Catching brake problems early almost always means a less expensive repair.
How often should brake pads be replaced?
Brake pads typically need replacement somewhere between 25,000 and 65,000 miles, depending on your driving habits, vehicle type, and the type of pads installed. Stop-and-go city driving in Oklahoma City wears pads faster than highway driving. We recommend having brake pads inspected every 5,000 miles so wear doesn’t catch you off guard.
What does a brake inspection include at Priebe’s Auto Clinic?
Our certified technicians inspect all major components of your braking system, including brake pads, rotors, drums, shoes, linings, calipers, brake lines, and hardware. We evaluate the current condition of everything and provide you with a clear, honest assessment of what’s needed before any work begins. We also offer a free brake fluid and brake system inspection so you can understand exactly where things stand.
How often does brake fluid need to be replaced?
Brake fluid typically needs to be flushed every 2 to 3 years. Over time it absorbs moisture, which lowers its boiling point and reduces braking effectiveness. If your brake fluid looks dark or hasn’t been changed in a few years, it’s worth having it checked. We inspect brake fluid condition as part of our brake service and will recommend a flush only when it’s actually needed.
Can you repair ABS brakes?
Yes. Our technicians diagnose and repair faulty anti-lock braking systems. An ABS warning light or a loss of ABS function should be inspected promptly because the ABS system is a critical safety component, especially on wet or slick Oklahoma roads.
Do you provide a written estimate before starting brake work?
Yes, always. We provide a written estimate of all repairs and services required before any work begins. Nothing gets done until you’ve reviewed and approved it. That’s part of how we’ve operated for over 40 years in Oklahoma City.
What warranty do you offer on brake repairs?
All qualifying brake repairs at Priebe’s Auto Clinic are covered under our 5 Year/Unlimited Mileage Warranty. That’s one of the strongest warranties offered by any independent shop in the Oklahoma City area, and it reflects the confidence we have in the quality of our work.
Do you offer financing for brake repairs?
Yes. Priebe’s Auto Clinic offers financing options for customers who need them. If a brake repair or full brake system replacement is more than you planned for, financing gives you a way to take care of it without delaying a service that directly affects your safety.
