Five common signs are squealing, grinding, steering wheel vibration, longer stopping distances, and a brake warning light.

Squeal indicates wear indicators contacting the rotor; grinding often means pads are worn to the backing plates. Pulsation suggests rotor thickness variation. If you notice any of these on Medford streets or I‑93 commutes, book a prompt inspection to prevent rotor damage. Use our schedule service tool.

• Squeal or chirp = pads nearing end of life.
• Grinding = stop driving and arrange inspection.
• Brake warning light = immediate diagnosis recommended.
