Overview
Brake noise is more than just annoying—it’s a warning that your car needs attention. Squeaks or squeals can signal worn components, glazing, or other issues that compromise safety. This guide explains why brakes squeak, when to replace them, and highlights top Autodoc picks for quiet, reliable stopping.
Why Your Brakes Squeak
Worn Brake Pads
Friction material thins over time. Many pads include wear indicators that create a high-pitched squeal when it’s time to replace them. Ignoring this can damage your discs and reduce braking performance.
Glazed Rotors
Overheating or heavy braking can create a smooth, hardened rotor surface, reducing grip and producing squeaks. Resurfacing or replacing the rotors restores optimal performance.
Moisture or Debris
Rain, condensation, or dirt can temporarily cause squeaking. While sometimes harmless, repeated noise often points to more serious wear that needs inspection.
