How to troubleshoot common issues with my car's brake system?

I've been experiencing problems with my braking system lately. How can I diagnose and solve common issues with my car's brakes?

First things first, check your brake fluid level and top it off if necessary. Low brake fluid can cause a decrease in braking power. Also, inspect your brake pads and rotors for any signs of wear and tear. If they are worn out, it's time to replace them.

One common mistake is using the wrong type of brake fluid. Make sure you are using the correct type for your car's braking system, as using the wrong type can cause damage. Also, check for any leaks in the brake lines or calipers and have them fixed as soon as possible.
