Why do my brakes make a screeching noise?

Brakes are one of the top priorities of vehicle maintenance, and it is well known that brakes wear as people drive their cars. One of the most common signs of wear are abnormal sounds coming from the brakes, but these sounds can indicate other, more serious problems as well. At Budget Brakes, technicians are trained to identify any problems with a vehicle’s brakes, and they can then determine how to correct any problems found.

Brakes can screech for a number of reasons, ranging from simply the driving conditions to serious problems. It is somewhat normal for a vehicle’s brakes to screech for a short amount of time during and after stressful driving conditions. If a vehicle’s brakes screech or make a rubbing sound every time they are applied, however, this can indicate more serious problems, such as extreme wearing of the brakes. Budget Brakes knows firsthand that if brakes are allowed to wear to a certain point, every individual part of the brake must then be replaced, rather than just a few parts.

Whatever the reason for screeching brakes, it is best to get an expert opinion to determine why it is happening. One of Budget Brakes experts will inspect your brakes free of charge if you are having this problem.
