Questions
Brakes & Suspension FAQ
Why do my brakes squeal?
Many brake pads have a small metal tab that squeals once the pad gets thin, so a squeal is often the first warning. Grinding usually means it’s past that point. Either way, have them checked soon.
Is it safe to drive with the brake warning light on?
If the light stays on with the parking brake fully released, most owner’s manuals say to have the brakes checked before driving further. Call us and we’ll talk it through.
