All The Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Brake Pads
When it comes to brakes you shouldn’t wait until brake repairs are needed. If the owner continues to drive the vehicle while there are issues with the brakes, then the chance of having an accident can increase or unpleasant vibrations and loud screeching sounds can be experienced while driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is often the first sign that your brake pads are wearing thin. Most pads have a small metal "wear indicator" that creates this sound to alert you that it's time for a replacement. However, it could also be caused by dust or poor-quality material. At Aurex Auto, we perform a quick visual inspection to tell you exactly how much life is left in your pads.
Vibration during braking usually indicates warped brake rotors (discs). When rotors become uneven due to excessive heat or wear, the pads cannot grip them smoothly, causing the shaking sensation. This reduces braking effectiveness and should be fixed promptly to avoid damaging other suspension components.
No, a "spongy" or soft brake pedal is a serious safety risk. This often means there is air in the brake lines, a fluid leak, or a failing master cylinder. If you experience this, your stopping distance is significantly increased. We recommend having the car towed or driving very slowly directly to our service center for a pressure test.
We recommend changing brake fluid every 2 years or 40,000 km. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air over time. This moisture lowers the boiling point of the fluid and causes internal corrosion in the braking system. Regular fluid flushes ensure consistent braking power and protect expensive components like the ABS pump.
Not every pad change requires new rotors. If your rotors are smooth, have enough thickness, and aren't warped, they can be reused. However, if the rotors are too thin or heavily "scored" with grooves, installing new pads on them will lead to poor braking and fast wear. We always measure your discs and provide an honest recommendation.
