Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my brakes squealing?
Squealing brakes usually indicate worn brake pads. The built-in wear indicator makes a high-pitched sound to alert you it's time for replacement. If you hear grinding, the pads may be completely worn and damaging your rotors.
How often should I replace my brake pads?
Brake pads typically last 30,000 to 70,000 miles depending on your driving habits. City driving with frequent stops wears pads faster. We recommend inspection every 12,000 miles.
How much does a brake job cost?
Brake pad replacement starts at around $150 per axle. If rotors need resurfacing or replacement, the cost varies by vehicle. We provide a free inspection and honest estimate before any work begins.
