Car repair What they say
Brake repair is more a necessary part of good car maintenance than the signal of an automotive problem. Although brake pads are designed to scrape and squeal when they have worn down (alerting you to the need for maintenance), they are not the only warning sign that your brakes need attention. You should check your brake fluid levels when your brake light goes on; this typically indicates that your fluid is low and your brakes should be checked over by a certified technician. If you see or smell brake fluid, get your car to a technician immediately as that indicates the presence of a leak. A vibrating wheel or brake pedal usually points to rotor surface issues and brakes that continue to squeal after you release the brake pedal means that the wear indicators are scraping against the rotors.
