Understanding the Parts That Make Your Brakes Work

Whether you drive a sedan, SUV, or light truck, we have the experience and equipment to handle brake repair for all makes and models with precision and care.  

Don’t Ignore These Signs of Brake Trouble 

If you hear squealing or grinding noise when braking, this typically indicates worn brake pads that need immediate attention before they damage your rotors. A spongy or soft brake pedal often signals brake fluid issues or air in the brake lines, while a vehicle that pulls to one side when braking may indicate uneven brake pad wear or caliper problems. Vibration in the steering wheel when braking usually points to warped brake rotors that require resurfacing or replacement. Dashboard warning lights should never be ignored, as they can indicate ABS system malfunctions or low brake fluid levels. Additionally, if you notice increased stopping distance, this is a clear sign that your brake system needs professional evaluation. Our team at Midas Southaven is available Mon – Fri: 7:30AM – 6PM to promptly diagnose and address these brake repair concerns.
