Squeaking Brakes? Get Brake Noise Service At Mike Shaw Subaru In Thornton

Squeaking brakes are a nuisance to yourself and others. After all, nobody wants to be the guy driving the car that squeaks and squeals. Unless you're hoping the car will help tattle on your son who's coming home past curfew...

In fact, many brake components will start to squeak by design as they begin to wear out and need to be replaced. If your brakes are squeaking, that's a sign that you could be in need of services like new brake pads and/or resurfaced rotors. Your brakes are by far the most important safety feature on your Subaru, and that means they shouldn't be left to chance! Stop by the Mike Shaw Subaru service center for a brake inspection. We'll have your brakes singing a different tune -- or, more accurately, by the time we're through, they won't be singing at all.

Why Did My Brakes Start To Squeak?

Any time two brake components vibrate against one another, this can create an unpleasant noise. But the most common cause of this noise is from the wear indicator on your brake pads. As the brake material wears away over time, the pads need to be replaced before the material has worn away entirely. A small metal tab will begin to rub against the brake rotor when most of the braking material on your brake pads is gone. To fix this squeak, it's as simple as installing new brake pads! That's a regular service you'll need performed from time to time on any modern car.

How Often Do I Need My Brake Pads Changed?

Brake pads will wear differently depending on the driving conditions you face each day as well as your driving style. For that reason, rather than recommending a mileage or time interval at which you should change the brake pads, Subaru recommends regular inspections of the brake system instead. For example, every 2018 Subaru model should have its brakes inspected by a dealership service team every 12,000 miles. Check your owner's manual to find your maintenance schedule and when your brakes should be changed or inspected.
