Noisy Car Brakes

A grinding noise coming from your brakes could be an indication that you may have brake trouble. Most disc brakes installed on vehicles have a wear sensor installed on them. When brake pads get low the sensor will hit the rotor, this warning system emits a growling or scrapping noise to remind you to have the brakes checked or replaced. In order to prevent any damage to the rotor surface or caliper you should have your brakes looked at by a mechanic immediately. Don't forget it's the most important system on your vehicle.
