FAQ brake repair & replacement

ï—¤

Why is my dashboard brake light on?

If the brake light indicator appears on your dashboard, it's either time for regular brake maintenance or an alert to a potential problem. Stop by Harris Automotive and let us help diagnose the issue quickly.

ï—¤

What percent of brake pad life is 3mm?

When you purchase a new brake pad, it has a standard thickness of around 8 to 12 mm or about a half inch. Over time, your car's brake pad will wear away. A brake pad at 3 mm means the brakes are just about worn out and should be replaced.

ï—¤

Why are my brakes making a grinding noise?

Grinding noises usually indicate that your car's brake system is overdue for maintenance. The grinding sound is usually caused by the brake pad being completely worn away or the brake shoe scraping on metal contact points.

ï—¤

Why are my brakes vibrating?

If your car shakes or vibrates or wobbles when you apply the brakes, it indicates that the thickness of your rotor is uneven. Brake rotors are large, perfectly round, smooth metal discs that sit inside of the wheels. When the disc has become misshapen or unevenly worn it will vibrate or wobble when you hit the brakes. Left uneven, the material will continue to build on the uneven spots, making the problem worse over time. Come to Harris Automotive to get the face of your car's brake rotors resurfaced to fix the problem.

I recently had an appointment for some factory scheduled maintenance. Not only did I save a lot of money, I learned what was needed and what could wait. The team was very informative and easy to work with.
