When to Replace Brake Pads

Squealing or squeaking — that's usually the wear indicator telling you pads are getting low
Grinding sound — if you hear metal-on-metal, you've gone past the pads into the rotor. Don't wait.
Brake warning light — many vehicles have sensors that trigger when pads are worn
Takes longer to stop — thin pads mean less friction material doing the work
Pad thickness under 3mm — if someone's measured them and they're that thin, it's time
Vibration in the pedal — sometimes means warped rotors, but can also indicate uneven pad wear
