Why Your Brakes Squeal (and When It’s Time for Service in Metro Detroit)

Few things are more alarming than squealing or grinding brakes. Your brakes are your car’s most important safety system — and ignoring the signs can put you and your passengers at risk. At Car Aid Auto Repair, we keep Metro Detroit drivers safe with expert brake service.


🔉 Why Brakes Squeal or Grind

  • Worn Brake Pads – Thin pads cause metal-to-metal grinding.
  • Warped Rotors – Leads to vibrations and uneven stopping.
  • Brake Dust & Moisture – Can cause temporary squeaks.
  • Low Brake Fluid – Creates a soft or spongy pedal feel.
