Re: Brake Noise

If the noise is that loud then I would say that either the pads have gone south and there is metal to metal contact or the pads have glazed due to heat and are no longer servicable. I would also look to see if the pads have shims behind them. This eliminates vibration which can cause the brakes to be very noisy. I am not sure what make this car is but there is a good possibility that the rear brakes are bad as well and causing the noise. Have them check all four brakes, check the thickness of the rotors and if it has drums in the back make sure the drums are within tolerance.
