Several indicators suggest brake replacement may be necessary. These include hearing squeaking or grinding sounds when braking, experiencing a soft or spongy sensation in the brake pedal, feeling vibrations during braking, or noticing an increased distance required to bring your vehicle to a complete stop.

There are multiple signs that your vehicle may require alignment. These include observing uneven wear patterns on your tires, noticing that your steering wheel pulls to one side while driving, feeling vibrations through the steering wheel, or seeing that your steering wheel is not centered when driving in a straight line.

It is advisable to have your car's alignment checked and adjusted after any significant impact or damage to the vehicle, when installing new tires, or following any major changes or replacements to your car's primary components.
