Smelling foul odors emitting from your tires? Feeling pulsations when you brake at high speeds? If any of these apply to your vehicle, make sure you get your brakes inspected before more expensive parts wear down due to metal–on–metal grinding.

The most common problem we find are rotors that are warped and damaged when worn out brake pads and shoes haven’t been replaced – ultimately shortening the life of healthy parts due to that metal–on–metal friction.

Screeching, squealing, grinding and other awful braking sounds are the main symptoms warning you that your brake pads & shoes should be inspected right away. The sooner you stop in, the better your odds of addressing worn–down pads and shoes before they affect other more costly parts – resulting in more expensive repairs that could have possibly been avoided.

The hard parts are built for lasting durability: Rotors and calipers can last for a long time IF you maintain them and follow their recommended inspection intervals.

Completely worn brake pads can damage your rotors pretty fast, requiring expensive repairs. Pay close attention to brake pad wear – their symptoms are pretty noticeable when they are in need of replacing. Replace them before they compromise your more expensive parts, such as your rotors.
