How Do You Know It’s Time to Replace Your Brake Pads?

As a rule of thumb, your car’s brake pads should get replaced every 25,000 to 50,000 miles. However, every vehicle and driver is different, and different warning signs can tell you may require new brake pads. Here are some signs that your brake pads need a replacement:

  • Squealing or Squeaking Sound Coming From Brakes

The most obvious sign that it’s time to replace your vehicle’s brake pads is if you hear constant squealing or squeaking. Although squeaky brake pads can be common with some weather such as the rainy season, having squeaky brake pads during all types of weather implies there may be trouble. If your brake pads are constantly squeaking, it is time to have your vehicle and brakes assessed by a professional.

  • Brake Indicator Light Turning on

Another sign that it’s time to replace your vehicle’s brake pads is when the brake indicator light remains continuously turned on in your dashboard. In some car models, there is a detector on the brake pad that will also activate when the brake pad gets damaged. If your brake light switches on, you should get an expert to look at your brake pads and suggest how soon to replace them.

  • Deep Grinding Metal Sound

If you notice a deep grinding metal noise, that’s another sign that it’s time to replace your car’s brake pads. This usually happens after your brake pads have been worn down and now your brake caliper is touching your brake rotor. On some brake pads, tiny metal ridges remain fitted on the bottom of the brake pad to make a loud sound and alert the vehicle owner that it is time to get new brake pads.

Make sure to seek professional assistance right away if you hear this sound as it could cause significant damage with expensive repairs.

  • Vibrating Brake Pedal

If you have a vibrating brake pedal or have difficulty stopping your car, these signs can also indicate that your brake pads have got damaged. Although a vibrating brake pedal is not common, it’s essential to have your car inspected right away to avoid any additional damage to your vehicle or a potential accident.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

This place is great! My experience was nothing but pleasant. They not just did the typical "telling you" what needs repairs, but took me out to the garage and actually showed me the issue with my car. Then found an alternative repair to fix the issue that was more affordable and in my budget. The mechanic was knowledgeable and fixed up my car and the problem was completely gone! They even dropped me off at work while my car was being repaired so I didn't have to walk. I HIGHLY recommend this place!

KILE H.

I have had work done on my car here several times. The staff has always been friendly, they have given me good options, and the price is reasonable. I would recommend them.

MIKE M.

I have taken my car into these guys multiple times for various reasons. They always run the diagnostic and tell me whats wrong, I have never felt like they are trying to sell me something my car doesn't need.

CHRISTINA W.

Amazing customer service, quick response time, charged significantly less than what other companies estimated, and best of all I didn’t have to leave work early! Will never use any other company! They were awesome.
