The first part of a good brake job starts with a little Q&A. Your mechanic should ask you some questions to better determine what the problem may be. It helps a lot if you are already prepared to answer these questions. A few of them might be:
* What kind of noise do you hear? Squealing? Grinding? Groaning? Clicking or clacking? Humming?
* When do you hear the noise? All the time? Only when you brake? On cold mornings? In reverse? Only when you brake and turn gently to the left (sounds dumb, but believe me, this helps)?
* Do you feel anything unusual when you brake? Vibration in the front of the vehicle? Pulsation in the pedal? Side to side movement in the steering wheel? Soft pedal? Sinking pedal? No pedal?
* When is the last time you had brakes done? Has anyone looked at this yet? (more…)
