FAQ

Can I keep driving on grinding brakes?

Get it booked now. Grinding means the friction material is gone, so stopping distances are longer and every stop digs deeper into the rotor. A pad job can turn into pads, rotors and a caliper in a week of driving like that.

Why do my new brakes squeak?

New pads often talk for the first week while they bed in, and some compounds are simply noisy in the cold and damp. Constant squeal after that usually means missing shims or clips, dry slide pins, or a glazed surface. Take it back; this is a fitting issue, not your fault.

Does the parking brake need work too?

Often, and it gets forgotten. Cable-operated parking brakes seize when they are rarely used, and electric ones need a tool to wind the rear pistons back before pads go in. Ask whether the quote covers the rear parking brake shoes, which sit inside the rear rotor on many cars.

Which shops in La Crosse check brakes for free?

[N_FREE] of the 24 shops say they offer a free inspection. A free brake check is a real service and also a sales visit, so ask them to show you the worn part on the car and to tell you the pad thickness they measured.
