Why Do My Brakes Make Noise?
Since brakes can be one of the most frequently discussed topics in the vehicle service department, we will expand upon our discussion from last time on brake systems. Noisy brakes are one of the most common brake related inquiries that we receive. Noisy brakes can also be both annoying and potentially dangerous, so we hope to provide some clarity for our customers with this edition of the Ayer Auto blog.
Have you ever noticed that on some mornings following rain, snow, or even just morning dew, your vehicle’s brakes may squeak or squeal? This is often just surface rust that is quickly scraped off of your vehicle’s rotors after the first few times that you apply the brakes and not a reason for concern. If the noise is persistent or continues while you’re driving down the road, then that’s a sign that it’s time to call Ayer Auto Service to schedule a brake inspection.
In many cases, persistent brake noise is related to the pads themselves, but it can be related to a variety of other issues. For example, an unevenly worn rotor, or a corroded or loose shim, can generate noise. In cases of persistent brake noise, it is best to schedule a service appointment to have your vehicle’s braking system inspected by a professional technician. At Ayer Auto Service, our certified technicians and support staff stay up to date with the latest trends and developments in the automotive industry, so that we can most effectively serve our customers and take the stress out of the repair situation and decision.
