Brake pads are sometimes referred to as “friction items” – their function is, indeed, to generate friction that slows down your vehicle. But what it also means is that due to friction, they will wear down to the point where they no longer function as designed. At Frank’s Auto Service and Repair in Walnut Creek we offer wide range of automotive services, including, as you might have guessed, brake pads replacement.
When the brake pads are ready to be replaced, your vehicle will exhibit symptoms that are brake pad related, and some newer vehicles will illuminate a dashboard warning light. Some of the common symptoms include: squealing brakes, or any unusual noise coming from the brake area, vehicle vibration or brake pedal pulsating, and grinding noise while braking. Any of these symptoms are concerning enough to schedule a visit with a “mechanic near me”.
Our Walnut Creek car care garage offers comprehensive automotive services, transparency, commitment to quality craftsmanship and to friendly, personalized service. When you drop off your vehicle for brake pads replacement, or any other service or repair, we offer a free shuttle ride, ASE-certified technicians, and friendly customer service.
