Along with squealing, grinding is one of the two most common sounds associated with brake problems. Unlike squealing brakes, grinding sounds don’t happen by design. Instead, they can point to anything from debris in your brake system to completely worn brake pads. Grinding brakes can be even more serious than squealing brakes. Not taking care of this problem right away could significantly damage your braking system. Make sure to bring your vehicle into a BRAKEmax brake shop for immediate brake repair service when you notice this issue.
