Brake repair is really just one component of regular car maintenance. If you think about it, brakes are not doing their job correctly if they do not wear down. Those squealing noises that you hear are signals that your brakes need repair in order to keep functioning properly. It is kind of like your oil light going on when the fluid level is low. If you top your oil off, all will be well. Have your brakes repaired, and you can keep on driving safely. Same thing.
Brake noise is not the only signal that your brakes will send you when they need repair. If your brake light goes on when your parking brake is disengaged, have your brake fluid replenished. (You will be able to smell your brake fluid if a leak is the source of the trouble.) A vibrating wheel or brake pedal signals rotor surface difficulties. Grinding or growling noises mean that the brake pads have entirely worn away.
Any issues should be discovered in time if you have your brakes inspected on an annual basis. (Your brakes should be inspected twice a year if you do any heavy towing or hauling.) At inspection, make sure to ask your brake repair technician to relubricate your metal on metal components and check the overall condition of your brake fluid. Brake fluid can become contaminated with metal flakes and moisture that wear down essential braking components like calipers and wheel cylinders.
Be sure to address your brake repair needs as soon as problems arise, before they get any worse.
