Brakes are one of the most important parts of your car’s safety system!  To make sure you and your family arrive safely when you are driving around, Max would like to offer the following advice on Brake Maintenance!

Light squealing is more than likely the brake pad indicators letting you know it’s time to change your brake pads. Most pads will have a metal tab which is designed to contract the rotor when they are worn to a point of needing replacement.  Change your brake pads as soon as possible.

A grinding noise is more serious and usually indicated that the pads are worn to a point of metal-to-metal contact with the rotor. This is more serious as braking ability can be decreased since less brake pad material is contacting the rotor. Get service immediately if you hear grinding and expect to most likely have to replace your rotors as well.
