Brake Pad Replacement
What are brake pads?
Brake pads use friction to slow your car when the you step on the brake pedal. They can be made of many different types of materials.
How do brake pads work?
When you step on the brakes, calipers push the brake pads against both sides of the disc-shaped brake rotor. This friction causes the rotor, and your car's wheels, to begin slowing down so you can safely come to a stop.
Worn brake pads can result in a loud squeaking or grinding noise while driving, especially at low speeds. Replacing your brake pads early may prevent the brake rotors from being worn or damaged beyond repair.
