Grinding noise front end when pressing on the brakes

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! If you’re hearing that grinding noise from the front end when braking, it’s likely your brake pads have worn down completely, letting metal hit metal. Besides the awful sound, this also wears down your rotors, which can be costly. Ignoring it could lead to further damage or even safety issues, so I'd suggest having it checked out soon to avoid a steeper repair bill. If you need further advice or want help finding a trusted RepairPal shop in your area, please feel free to call us at 877-913-1554.
