How Can I Tell if My Brake Pads Are Worn Out?
We talked about brake’s signs trouble a couple of blogs back but let’s zero in on the brake pads in this blog post. Brake pads are so important that if you replace them when necessary, you maintain the life of other more expensive brake parts much longer, which saves you a lot of dough in the end.

Manufacturers place pad wear indicators in the pads at a certain depth to give drivers plenty of warning
