BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT

The Obvious Warning Signs of Bad Brake Pads

You may not know this, but some of the obvious warning signs of failing brake pads are actually designed to be so obvious for a reason. For example, most brake pads are designed to emit sounds (squealing or squeaking) when they’re wearing out, so that you have advance notice that they’re about to reach the end of their useful life. This is a design feature made to draw your attention and make it abundantly clear that you need service before you risk damage to your brake rotors. These sounds, decreased braking power, and grinding noises when braking (the most severe sign) indicates an immediate need for brake pad replacement services with a certified technician at HGreg INFINITI of Monrovia. Grinding noises when braking are the most worrying signs, as this indicates your brake pads may be totally worn out, and you’re causing damage to your brake rotors by applying force to them instead of brake pads.

Expensive Repairs and Potential Collisions Await if You Don’t Replace Your Brake Pads

Neglecting to replace your brake pads in accordance with your manufacturer-recommended service intervals means that you can do severe damage to your brake rotors, which are not inexpensive to repair or replace. Not only are there costs for repairs, but the potential cost of a collision due to decreased braking power and related performance issues is not worth the trouble. Scheduling brake pad replacement services with our service professionals in our Monrovia, CA, service center is the best way to negate these hazards, and protect yourself and others on the road around you.
