Alan Doherty | Owner

I started working at Everett Transmission the day I turned sixteen in 1974. I started as a remover and installer of transmissions. Soon I got involved in the tear down procedures and then the rebuilding of the units. I personally have rebuilt over 20,000 transmissions. I have been the owner of Everett Transmission since 1994. Transmissions are not a job to me, they have been in my life day and night for 42 years. My hobbies revolve mostly around mechanical things such as motorcycles, go fast boats, ski mobiles, dirt bikes, Corvettes, and Porsches.

Does my car need brake repair now? 5 signs that say yes

by Everett Transmission & Auto Repair • 13 November 2025

Your vehicle’s braking system is one of its most critical safety components. Whether you’re driving through city traffic or cruising down the highway, reliable brakes are essential for keeping you and others safe. Unfortunately, many drivers ignore early warning signs of brake problems until it’s too late. Recognizing these symptoms early can help you avoid costlier repairs and potential accidents. At Everett Transmission & Auto Repair, we provide expert brake repair in the greater Everett, MA area. Here are five common signs that it’s time for brake repair. Squealing or Grinding Noises One of the most noticeable signs of brake trouble is strange noises when you press the pedal. A high-pitched squealing sound often means that the brake pads are worn down and need replacement. Brake pads commonly have built-in wear indicators that make this sound to alert you before damage occurs. If the noise turns into a harsh grinding sound, it likely means the pads are completely worn out, which can lead to rotor damage. Vibrations When Braking If you feel vibrations when slowing down, it’s a sign that your brake rotors may be warped. This can happen from excessive heat buildup caused by hard or frequent braking. Ignoring this issue can reduce braking efficiency, so it’s important to have it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible. Soft Brake Pedal When your brake pedal feels soft, spongy, or sinks too close to the floor, it usually points to a problem with the brake fluid or air trapped in the brake lines. Low brake fluid can indicate a leak somewhere in the system, which is a serious safety concern. Pulling to One Side If your car pulls to one side when braking, it could mean a caliper is freezing up, perhaps because of corrosion. This creates a serious safety risk and needs to be addressed ASAP. Warning Light on the Dashboard A brake warning light could indicate issues with brake fluid, sensors, or something else. Even if your brakes seem to be working fine, never ignore a dashboard warning light—it’s your car’s way of alerting you to a potential safety issue.
