Auto repair from the beginning
Grinding or growling metal on metal sounds mean that your brake pads are completely worn away. Don't delay brake repair when any of these signs appear. Experts recommend that you address the problem right away, before it gets worse. Experts also recommend yearly brake inspections, or twice yearly if you use your vehicle for heavy hauling or towing on a regular basis. Tires should also be rotated every 5,000 to 7,000 miles to maintain even friction with the road.
