Common questions
Frequently asked questions.
Quick answers about services, appointments, estimates, and the areas we serve.
-
Grinding usually means part of the brake system is badly worn. In many cases, the brake pads may be worn down far enough that metal is contacting the rotor. The vehicle should be inspected soon because continuing to drive may cause more damage and reduce braking performance.
-
A shaking steering wheel while braking can be caused by uneven or damaged brake rotors, but suspension or steering problems can sometimes create similar symptoms. The best approach is to inspect the vehicle before replacing parts.
-
Common signs include squeaking, grinding, longer stopping distance, or a change in how the brake pedal feels. Brake pad thickness can also be checked during an inspection.
-
It is not a good idea to continue driving normally with grinding brakes. Grinding can mean the brake pads are severely worn and may damage the rotors or other parts. Braking ability may also be reduced.
-
No. Rotors should be inspected for thickness, wear, damage, and condition. Some rotors can remain in service, while others need replacement. We inspect them before recommending anything.
