7 Signs You Need New Brakes (Don't Ignore #3)
Squealing, grinding, or a soft pedal? Learn the 7 warning signs your brakes need replacing, how long brake pads last, and how a mobile mechanic replaces them at your home.
The 7 warning signs
1) High-pitched squealing, 2) grinding metal-on-metal, 3) a soft or sinking brake pedal, 4) vibration when braking, 5) the car pulling to one side, 6) a brake warning light, and 7) longer stopping distances.
How long do brake pads last?
Most pads last 25,000–70,000 miles depending on driving style and pad quality. City driving and towing wear them faster.
Why you shouldn't wait
Driving on worn pads damages your rotors, turning a cheap pad replacement into a costly rotor-and-pad job — and it's a real safety risk.
