Brake Pads Bellevue, KY
Your brake pads serve a very important function. Much like the oil in your engine, your brake pads help prevent metal-to-metal contact whenever you engage your braking system by depressing your brake pedal. WIthout your brakes, your braking system would cause a lot of friction and in turn, heat which can warp your braking system and cause it prematurely fail, putting yourself and others on the road at risk.
But not to worry, your brakes will tell you when it's time for them to be changed. You will hear a squeal or screech when you depress your brake pedal telling you that it is time to have your brake pads inspected.
