Frequently Asked Questions

The following are some of the most common signs that your brake pads already need replacement:


  • Burning smell after repeated hard brakes
  • Grinding or squealing noises
  • Slower braking response time
  • Squishy or spongy-feeling brake pedals
  • Swerving while braking
  • Vibrating brake pedals

You should replace brake pads in pairs (front or back) but not necessarily both sets at once. Since most cars front brakes provide up to 70% of total braking power, their pads tend to wear out faster than the rear pair.

Some of the most common indicators that a trip to the mechanic may be in order include:


  • Brake fluid leaks
  • Brake pedals that feel soft or spongy
  • Feeling like the car’s dragging something
  • Longer braking time
  • Swerving to one side while braking
  • Uneven wearing of brake pads
