Three Common Signs
There are three very common signs of your brakes needing attention.
First, a vibration felt in the steering when the brakes are applied. This indicates that one or more brake rotors may be warped. Of course this symptom may have other causes, but it should be checked out by the professionals at Budget Brakes immediately.
Secondly, a loud metallic sounding squealing is another common symptom that indicates a potential problem. Some automobile manufacturers install a thin strip of metal that strikes the brake rotor when brake pad wear reaches a specific point, creating the noise to alert you that repairs are needed.
Lastly, a loud, course grinding sound when braking often indicates that the pads have completely worn through to the metal backing plates, and the brakes need immediate attention. In this case, safety is an issue, as braking performance will be seriously limited.
In all cases where any brake problem is suspected, have the professionals at Budget Brakes inspect the vehicle before it is driven again. Brakes must be fully functional to ensure the safety of all passengers.
