The Tuffy Lake In The Hills Guide for Lake In The Hills Drivers: Brake Noise

February 16, 2016

Your brake pads are the important parts that rub against the rotor (or disc) to slow and stop your automobile. They eventually wear down.

When your pads are worn too much, they won’t stop your vehicle as well. When the friction material is worn away, metal parts of the pad are exposed and you’ll hear a squeal or grinding sound.

That’s when Lake In The Hills auto owners should replace their brake pads. Not only will new pads restore your stopping power, but replacing them on time will prevent damage to the rotor.

If your brakes are making noise, ask your Tuffy Lake In The Hills service advisor to survey your brakes. Addressing troubles early will restore your safety and prevent pricey brake damage.
