The most common sign is a high-pitched squealing noise when braking — that’s the wear indicator built into the pad telling you it’s time for replacement. A grinding noise means the pad has worn through completely and metal is contacting the rotor. At that point you likely need both pads and rotors replaced.
A standard brake pad replacement typically takes one to two hours. More complex repairs involving calipers, brake lines, or ABS systems may take longer. We’ll give you a clear timeline when you drop off your vehicle.
Brake pads typically last 30,000 to 70,000 miles depending on driving habits and vehicle type. Rotors generally last longer but should be inspected at every brake service. We recommend having your brakes inspected at least once a year or any time you notice a change in braking performance.
No. A brake warning light indicates a problem with your braking system that needs immediate attention. Do not ignore it. Bring your vehicle in as soon as possible for a brake system inspection.
A sticking brake caliper can cause uneven braking, pulling to one side, and poor fuel efficiency. The repair typically involves inspecting the caliper slides and pins for corrosion, cleaning or replacing them, and ensuring proper lubrication. In some cases the entire caliper needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Brake caliper repairs are safety-critical and should always be performed by a professional.
