Signs You Need Brake Repair
At Christian Brothers Automotive New Albany, we understand that your vehicle is an essential part of your everyday life.

- Car Pulling to One Side: If your vehicle pulls to one side when you brake, it may indicate a problem with the brake linings or a malfunctioning brake caliper.
- Vibration While Braking: A vibrating brake pedal usually suggests that your rotors are warped. This issue requires immediate attention to ensure your safety on the road.
