Many modern cars feature brake pads with built-in wear sensors that trigger a warning light on the dashboard when the pads have worn down to a minimum level while others only emit an audible warning via a loud squealing noise. This indicates that your pads have almost completely worn away. We recommend that brake pads should be inspected every 12 months or 12,000 miles to attest the safety of you and your passengers.
