Mobile Brake Pads Replacement at Your Home or Office
Some vehicles are equipped with brake-pad sensors that alert the driver to worn brake pads through a dashboard light or a startup message. Additionally, some brake systems produce squealing or screeching noises when the pads become too thin, serving as a warning signal. Although unpleasant, this sound is typically harmless and caused by a metal scraper attached to the pads. However, if the noise changes to a grumbling or grinding sound, it may indicate that the pads are completely worn, posing a risk of serious damage to the rotors. In such cases, immediate attention from a brake shop is essential. You can easily book one of our mechanics by contacting us via phone call or our online survey, and your vehicle will be back in optimal condition in no time.
What Is Brake Pads Replacement?
Brake pads play a crucial role in your vehicle's brake system, sitting between the brake shoe and the brake drum. Without properly functioning brake pads, other components such as discs, rotors, and calipers can experience accelerated wear. Maintaining effective brake pads is vital for preventing expensive repairs and ensuring safe driving conditions. Therefore, it's important to recognize when your vehicle's brake pads need replacement.
How Is Brake Pads Replacement Done?
Remove the wheel.
Unbolt the caliper.
