I am happy with my new ride although it could use new breaks.

 

Would it be correct to place a comma before "although" and why would it or not?

I think you always need a comma before (or after) a conjuction and the clause that follows. Add one this time.

In this case I think you want:


I am happy with my new car, although it could use new brakes.
