Brake Warning Signs

1. Thin brakes pads. Brakes pads squeeze against a rotor located in the front wheels, providing the friction that stops your car.
2. Squealing sounds.
3. Poor performance.
4. Vibration.
5. Puddles on the driveway.
6. Pulling.
7. Loud metallic sounds.
8. Warning lights.

How do you visually know if brake pads are bad?

You might need a flashlight to get a good look at the brake pad. If the pads look thin, less than 1/4″, it might be time to get them replaced. On some brake pads, you might see a wear indicator slot down the center of the pad. If the slot is gone or just barely visible, it’s time for new brake pads.

Should I replace one rotor or both?

Normally both rotors need to be replaced because they will usually have the same amount of wear. Even if one side is “good enough” it is wise to replace both brake rotors at the same time to maintain even braking as any difference in rotor thickness will cause the brakes to pull to one side.
