When you need brake repair
- Squeal that stops when you brake — that is the wear indicator doing its job.
- Grinding — you are past the pad and into the disc, and the bill just doubled.
- Pedal goes soft or long — fluid or a leak, not pads.
- Steering wheel shakes under braking — warped discs.
Typical turnaround: 2 - 4 hours. Typically needed pads every 30,000 - 60,000 km.
