Driving down the highway you start to hear a squeak when you hit the brake pedal. The more you drive the louder the noise gets especially when you apply pressure to the pedal. The sound you are hearing usually means that you may have worn out brake pads. Suppose you continue to drive with the sound and neglect getting it checked out. This could mean trouble down the road. You may end up needing more work on the brakes than if you had paid attention to the first squeaks you heard, such as a complete brake replacement.
Brake replacement may mean a pad is bad or you may need a whole new braking system. The cost of brake pads is a lot less than the whole system. Replacing them usually means that the tire will need to come off. A mechanic can replace the pads in a matter of minutes whereas it may take you hours. Having the correct tools is a must so be sure to ask your trusted mechanic for help.
Brakes will inevitably wear out after months or years of applying pressure to the pedal. The heat from the friction alone causes the pads to deteriorate over time. Brakes are a part of the car you must have in order to pass inspections and to be able to stop your car on the proverbial dime. Brake replacement will be necessary a few times over the life of your car.
A quick tip: Have your mechanic check the brakes and pads each time the tires are rotated and balanced. If you hear a squeal, make sure to check the pads. Water on the brakes can cause them to make noises sometimes so do not be alarmed. Just check to make sure they are still good.
