Many strange things about auto repair
Brake repair is really just one form of car maintenance. Since brakes operate quietly when they are at their best, those telltale sounds that let you know your brakes need repair are actually telling you that your brakes have been doing their job well and need a tune up to keep working properly. Brakes tend to do this in a few different ways. If your brake light goes on when your parking brake is off, you need to check your brake fluid levels. A brake fluid leak manifests itself by sight (a light amber color) and a smell that is distinctive.
