Your vehicle pulls to the right or left when you brake

Unusual noises or vibrations occur during braking

Many brake pads today have a built-in metal component that create a slight squeal. The squeal increases in volume over time to alert you of the need for service. If your brakes make a squealing sound, that may be a sign that you need brake service immediately.

Brake pad replacement is the most common repair job for automotive brake systems. The reason is simple: brakes are designed to wear out. The pads rub on the brake disk to stop your car, so worn pads are the first thing to check if you are experiencing any braking problems.

Assuming that you have the proper tools, the two most difficult aspects of brake pad replacement are the heavy weight of the caliper and the pistons. Without proper tools, adjusting the piston and calipers to fit over the new, thicker pads can be very difficult.

Since brake pads are only one possible problem with a brake system, there are other items to check as well. If the pads are worn thin or are cracked from heat during use, pad replacement may be necessary and the system should be inspected.

Replacing your brake pads can be a daunting task for those without mechanical skills. Allow the experts at a Jamaica Auto Body & Towing to give you the peace of mind by installing your new brake pads for you!
