Rick’s 36 technicians are your local brake repair experts. It’s inevitable, your vehicle will eventually need brake service. The question is, will you notice when that time comes. Your vehicle’s manufacturer has placed some clues within your braking system that should alert you to any brake repair needs. The first alert that you will need to replace your brake pads is a high-pitched squeal that you’ll hear whenever you apply your brakes. Once the brake pads have worn down too low, this unmistakable sound will be heard every time you slow down. However, if you have your radio up loud enough, you may not be aware of the squeal. Everyone else around you will be though. You might even continue driving for many miles without recognizing the warning signs. If you end up driving too long, you run the risk of doing expensive damages to your braking system. Your vehicle’s brake rotors, calipers, pistons, drums, and more could be affected by delaying braking repairs.
