Frequently Asked Questions
How often should brake pads be replaced?
Brake pad life varies by driving habits and vehicle type, but most pads last 30,000–70,000 miles. If you hear squealing or grinding, or if your brake warning light is on, have them inspected right away.
Why does my car shake when I brake?
Vibration when braking is usually caused by warped or unevenly worn brake rotors. In some cases it can also be caused by loose suspension components. We inspect both during a brake service.
Is it safe to drive with squealing brakes?
Squealing is often the wear indicator telling you pads are getting low. Grinding means metal-on-metal contact, which can damage rotors quickly. We recommend getting it checked promptly — don't wait until it becomes a more expensive repair.
Do you replace brake fluid?
Yes. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point and can cause brake fade. We check fluid condition during every brake inspection and recommend a flush when needed.
