Why are my brakes screeching or squealing?
Screeching or high-pitched squealing usually means your brake pads are worn down to the wear indicator — a metal tab designed to warn you before total failure. Come in immediately for a pad inspection. We serve all of Houston, TX.
What does grinding when braking mean?
Grinding is serious — it typically means your brake pads are completely worn through and metal is grinding on metal. This damages rotors and significantly increases your stopping distance. Do not delay — contact Astro Collision at (832) 883-8120.
Why does my steering wheel shake when I brake?
Shaking or vibration through the steering wheel when braking usually indicates warped rotors. Heat cycles from heavy braking can warp the rotor surface, causing pulsation. Our rotor service resolves this fast — same-day in most cases.
