Questions about this service.
Does squealing always mean I need brake pads?
No. Pad wear, hardware, rotor condition, moisture and contamination can all produce noise. Inspection helps distinguish them.
What pedal changes should be checked?
A pedal that becomes soft, unusually low, hard to press or noticeably different should be assessed. If stopping feels unsafe, stop driving and arrange immediate in-person help.
