Why are my brakes squealing?

Squealing brakes most often mean your brake pads are worn down to the built-in wear indicator, a small metal tab designed to screech and warn you before the pads run out. Other causes include glazed pads, moisture or light surface rust after rain, dust between the pad and rotor, or cheap pads that vibrate. In humid Miami, a brief morning squeal that disappears after a few stops is usually harmless surface rust. A constant squeal, though, signals it is time for service. Ignoring it can let the metal backing grind into your rotors, turning an affordable pad job into an expensive rotor replacement. At Motoro Cars we offer a free brake inspection to pinpoint the exact cause. Our ASE-certified techs in Wynwood and Doral can help. Call Wynwood at (786) 634-2002 or Doral at (786) 633-3220 today.
