All things car repair
Your brakes have wear indicators that squeal when they start scraping against the turning rotor, as well as a few other tried and true signals that brake repair is needed. An illuminated brake light usually indicates that brake fluid is low, while a strong odor and puddle of amber liquid underneath your car indicates a leak. The smell of brake fluid is quite distinctive! A vibrating wheel or brake pedal signals problems with a rotor surface. If your brakes squeal when you release the brake pedal, your brake wear indicators could be scraping against your rotors; but if you hear the grinding and growling sound of metal on metal, then your brake pads have completely worn down. Regardless of the signals your brakes send, take your car in for brake repair as soon as possible.
