Why do my brakes grind?

Why do my brakes grind?



Your brakes are most likely making a grinding noise due to your brake pad being worn out. When your brake pad wears out the backing material of the brake pad will touch the brake rotor and that will cause a grinding noise. This will also happen if one of your brake calipers is stuck causing your brake to be on all the time. If your fuel mileage has recently gone down this could be one culprit. Anytime that your brakes are making a noise then they need to be checked. We do free brake inspections on most makes and models. Give us a call and let us take care of you.


Happy Adventures,


Heather
