Your brake pads are a part of the disc brake system in your car. Each time you push the brake pedal, these pads press against the rotors and create the friction to slow your car.

Like many other components in your vehicle, your brake pads will wear over time and need to be replaced. Here are some common signs you can look for so you know when it’s time to replace them:

Squealing noise

Noticed an unpleasant squealing or scraping noise coming from underneath your car? It may be the wear indicator letting you know the brake pads in your car are dangerously low and need to be replaced. If you’ve heard this, contact us right away so we can take a look.

Vibrations or wobbles

Brake pedal or steering wheel vibrating or wobbling when you brake? These could mean it’s time to replace the brake pads, or have the rotors smoothed to resolve the problem. Aside from the fact that this is unpleasant to experience, it’s not safe so should be addressed right away.

Grinding or clicking noises

If you’re hearing grinding or clicking noises, it could be a sign you need to have your brakes inspected as you may have worn through the pads. Our experienced team can identify the problem and have you back on the road safely.
