Whether you're driving your daily commuter or managing a fleet of diesel trucks, brake noises are never something to ignore. Squeaking, grinding, or vibrating brakes can signal serious issues that impact safety, performance, and your wallet.
🚨 What Brake Noises Mean
Squealing or Squeaking: Often caused by worn brake pads or contamination from dirt or moisture. Most pads include a wear indicator that creates a high-pitched sound when it's time for service.
Grinding: A warning sign that brake pads may be completely worn out—allowing metal-to-metal contact, which can damage rotors or drums.
Vibration or Pulsing: Common with warped rotors or uneven wear, especially in vehicles under heavy use or towing loads.
🧰 Why Prompt Brake Service Matters
For everyday drivers, waiting too long can increase stopping distance, reduce safety, and lead to more expensive repairs.
For fleet operators and diesel trucks, brake issues can cause DOT violations, affect CSA scores, and lead to unplanned downtime and lost revenue.
