If your brakes start squealing when you press on the brake pedal, get your car into your favorite repair shop to determine whether brake repair is necessary. Squealing after the pedal has been released means that your brake wear indicators may be scraping against the rotors. Grinding or growling noises result from metal to metal contact; you most likely need new brake pads. Brake repair experts recommend that you get your car in to your repair shop as soon as any of these signs appear, before the problem escalates. Brake repair experts also recommend annual brake inspection (and repair, if needed), or twice a year inspections if you use your vehicle for heavy hauling and towing work.
