Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why do brakes make a squealing sound?

    High-pitched squealing often means the brake pads are worn down and need replacement. Many pads are designed with a small metal indicator that makes noise once the material thins to a certain point, warning the driver that it’s time for new pads.

  • What happens if brake pads wear out completely?

    If pads are ignored until they wear down fully, the metal backing plate presses directly against the rotor. This damages the rotor surface, reduces braking efficiency and creates a dangerous situation where stopping power is drastically reduced.

  • What causes brake rotors to warp?

    Rotors can warp due to excessive heat, often from hard braking or riding the brakes. When the metal becomes uneven, it creates vibrations when braking. Machining or replacing the rotors is usually required to restore smooth operation.

Signs You Need New Brakes

Brakes don’t always fail suddenly; they usually give warning signs. Common indicators include squealing or grinding noises, vibrations when braking, a spongy pedal feel, or the car pulling to one side. These symptoms suggest pads or rotors may be worn, fluid could be contaminated, or other issues are developing. Ignoring these signs can lead to expensive repairs or even dangerous situations on the road. Regular checks and timely replacement ensure your braking system remains dependable, keeping you safe and protecting other critical components from unnecessary damage.
