What do the brake pads do? The braking system is what stops your vehicle. When you push on your brake pedal it sends fluid from the master cylinder through the brake lines to the brake pads (or shoes) to squeeze or push on the brake rotors (or drums). After a few years of drivin? your pads and rotors wear down (Drums and shoes if equipped). If they become critically low you will often have one or more of the following symptoms: You may hear a grinding sound coming from the brake? the brake pedal pulsatin? steering wheel vibration only while brakin? or often having to press down further than normal in order to brake.How do you know you need brake pads replaced If you hear a squealing noise or grinding during braking. If it is really bad you may hear a constant metal on metal noise while the wheels are in motion.There may be a yellow or amber light on your dashboard indicating there may be a problem with your ABS brake system.There may be a red light on your dashboard indicating there may be an imbalance.If it takes longer to stop or the brakes feel squishy or spongy.

"I'm a big fan of this incredibly convenient service! GoWrench staff do a great job and respect your time, unlike the nightmare that is involved in visiting the dealership/auto shop just to get your tires rotated or oil change. I shouldn't have to lose a day of work, two times a year, just for regular maintenance & tire swaps -- and with GoWrench, I never have to deal with the patronizing, dirty, and time-consuming service at the car dealership or auto shop, again!"
