Some posts on timing belt replacement
There's no reason to fear brake repair. Those squeaking and squealing noises that brakes make when they need repair are actually indications that your brakes have been doing their job. If they didn't wear down, they wouldn't be stopping your car very well! Brake wear indicators are what wear down and squeal when it's time for brake repair. By no means should you think that something is wrong with your brakes; rather, think of brake repair as necessary to a smoothly running car. Wear indicator against turning rotor isn't the only signal for brake repair, however.
