Tuffy Clinton Township Auto Maintenance Videos: Brake Noise

January 28, 2016

Your brake pads are the vital parts that rub against the rotor (or disc) to slow and stop your vehicle. They eventually wear down.

When your pads are worn too much, they won’t stop your vehicle as well. When the friction material is worn away, metal parts of the pad are exposed and you’ll hear a squeal or grinding sound.

That’s when Clinton Township car owners should replace their brake pads. Not only will new pads restore your stopping power, but replacing them on time will prevent damage to the rotor.

If your brakes are making noise, ask your Tuffy Clinton Township service professional to survey your brakes. Addressing troubles early will restore your safety and prevent expensive brake damage.
