If you hear a squeaking sound when you brake, you shouldn't wait until it's too late. Squeaky brakes are one sign that you need to get your vehicle into the mechanic so that they can change the brake pads and possible the rotors before you have even bigger problems. At Fox Grand Traverse Lincoln, we know how important brake maintenance is, and we would love to share with you our knowledge.
Vehicles will have recommendations on how many miles you can go before the first brake change. After that, you'll make a choice on what kind of brakes you want, which will affect the interval of time that you go before you get knew pads and possibly rotors.
While it's not always the case, you'll almost always replace the rotors at the same time that you replace the brake pads so because this is usually when the rotor begins to get warped, so you should plan to replace both if you're starting to hear squeaking sounds.
