- How do I know if I need new brake pads

Sure thing! Here are three different ways to answer that:

[LewisArmstrong]

"You can usually tell you need new brake pads if you hear a squeaking or grinding noise when you brake. Also, if your car feels like it's taking longer to stop or if the brake pedal feels really soft, it's definitely time to check them out."

[JiannaSalazar]

"If you notice any weird sounds when you hit the brakes, like a high-pitched squeal or a grinding sound, that's a big red flag. Also, if your brake warning light comes on, don’t ignore it! Better safe than sorry."
