It goes without saying that your brakes are an integral part of your vehicle. So when the brake warning light illuminates on the dashboard, you should take it very seriously and address the situation immediately.

We recommend you consult the owner's manual to familiarize yourself with the brake warning light(s) for your car. Some vehicles have one light for brakes, ABS, and emergency brake, with each issue differentiated by color.

Common reasons for this to happen:

  • Worn brake pads: When you put your foot on the brake pedal, you are causing the brake pads to press against the brake rotors or drums, which are attached to the spinning wheels. This friction forces the wheels to slow down, and makes your car slow or stop. This constant interaction slowly wears away the pads. Every time you use the brake pedal, you’re wearing another layer off of the pads. When the pads get near the end of their life, your brake light will come on to let you know that it’s time to replace them.

  • Low or leaking brake fluid: Brake fluid is responsible for transferring the force of your foot on the brake pedal to the wheel and the brake pad. Without brake fluid, your car is unable to brake. If you are leaking brake fluid, your car will soon stop braking altogether. If you’re low on brake fluid, your car’s braking ability will begin to deteriorate. Often low brake fluid goes hand in hand with worn brake pads, because the more the pads are worn, the more fluid is required for the necessary force to be accomplished.

  • Emergency brake is engaged: In many cars, the brake warning light is the same as the emergency brake light. If your car is on and the emergency brake is engaged, the warning system will let you know by illuminating the brake light.

  • ABS problem: Most cars have a separate warning light for ABS (anti-lock braking system) problems, but not all do. There’s a chance that a brake warning light could mean trouble with the ABS.

What to expect:

A top-rated mobile mechanic will come to your home or office to determine the source and cause of the brake system issue, and will then provide a detailed inspection report that includes the scope and cost of the necessary repairs.

How it's done:

There are different types of brake lights. The mechanic will identify which light is on and then inspect the entire brake system, paying particular attention to your brake pads and brake fluid levels.

How important is this service?

The brake warning light is very serious. When you see it come on, check to make sure your emergency brake is off, then stop driving as soon as you get the chance. If you are running low on brake fluid, your brakes may stop working altogether.

Toyota 4Runner V6-3.4L - Brake Warning Light is on - Las Vegas, Nevada
Yelp has, once again, helped me find a very reliable/dependable service. Patrick was mentioned more than once on all the reviews so when I booked my appointment with Yourmechanic, I was crossing my fingers that they would send Patrick to look/inspect and work on my truck, and they sure did! Patrick showed up at my place of work as scheduled (7 a.m). Talk about prompt and punctuality (and utter convenience for me)! I contacted Yourmechanic because my brake warning light indicator suddenly lit up. I also decided to get the valve cover replaced since Meinekere commended it every time I would get my oil changed. Yourmechanic quoted me way lower than what Meineke quoted me for the same work/service. 25 percent less, to be exact. Upon inspection of my truck, he made recommendations for the needed service/work but, surprisingly, not including the valve cover and gasket replacement. I found Patrick to be very professional, efficient, honest and highly knowledgeable. Most importantly and what matters the most is that he is genuinely a very honest man (unlike some, if not most. of auto/car mechanics who will take advantage of one's knowledge, or lack thereof, when it comes to car maintenance/repairs/service) . I found his dedication to his profession remarkable as he spent just about all day as worked on my truck in the parking lot under the desert sun! After he's done with the service and test-driving my truck, he gave me some "post-service" tips/recommendations. Patrick is THE man! I found me my regular to go mechanic!

Marvin arrived at the scheduled time. He checked several items (brake fluid reservoir, master cylinder line and electrical connector to the master cylinder). A simple disconnect resolved the issue. The cost, and effort to replace the electrical connector (a custom 2 hour job) was not warranted, and would not impact the operation of my vehicle. Thanks Marvin, Jack Fahy
