The decision depends on the specific circumstances of your vehicle and driving habits but it’s always best to consult with a professional vehicle technician to determine the best course of action.

The average lifespan of car brake pads is around 30,000 to 70,000 miles. Of course, this depends on the kind of driving you do and how well you maintain your vehicle. If you drive more aggressively or don’t keep up with regular maintenance, then your brake pads may need to be replaced sooner.

The squeaking sound your brakes make come from worn-down brake pads and is often when metal rubs against metal. As you press down on the brake pedal, the brake calliper clamps around the pad and applies pressure to slow your wheel down. If your brake pads are worn, these components will rub together resulting in a grinding or squeaking noise.
