By ACE Mechanics

Squealing Brakes and Their Causes

Today’s automobiles have two types of braking. One involves having brake pads that make contact with a wheel rotor or disk and the other type has a drum with two brake shoes. Many cars use the wheel rotor type on the front set of wheels while using the drum type on the rear wheels. However, some manufacturers have begun eliminating the drum type brakes in favor of using the wheel rotor type on all four wheels. Whatever the type used, there are common reasons for brake squealing.

The most common reason for noisy brakes is the introduction of road grime and dust between the wheel rotors and brake pads. If your brakes have seen less service than expected for their full lifetime, this will probably prove to be the reason for the noise. Take your car to a local carwash and using the high-pressure hose spray around the wheels, releasing the dirt that may have collected on the brakes. There are also several brands of brake cleaning sprays and compounds available at retail stores that will help loosen such debris effectively. As with any product, follow all instructions when using cleaners.

Brakes will occasionally wear unevenly and will begin to make some noise as the wheel rotors and brake pads become uneven. It’s important to inspect brake parts regularly as a part of routine automotive maintenance in order to deal with this issue when it begins. Allowing the uneven wearing of the braking components to continue will increase the likelihood you will experience brake failure in the future.

As brake pads naturally wear, there are indicators on the brake pads to help the driver know their lifespan is coming to an end. Squealing brakes can be caused by a part of the pad brace known as a “squealer bar” that emits an annoying sound to warn the driver that there is very little material left on the brake pad. The contact of the bar with the wheel rotor should cause very little damage as long as the driver takes action to replace the worn brake pads. If the driver does not heed this warning, there is a risk the squealer bar will break off or become worn in a way the wheel rotor becomes scored.

New brake pads often come with a protective finish that wears off the surface of the pad as you drive. Allow some noise during local driving for a day or two to completely wear the finish from the pad. Most mechanics will inform their customers of such issues before they leave the shop.

I was stuck with a dead car battery and wasn't sure what to do. Nick from Ace Mechanics sent Osman to my home on the same day. Osman was brilliant, checked my car, explained every detail clearly, replaced the battery, and made sure I was back on the road. Nick even gave me a discount to make sure I was happy as I had misunderstood initially. I really appreciate their effort and great service!

This week I had my card serviced for the first time by Ace. From first contact Julie explained the process and answered all my questions. She was very competent and personable.The mechanic, named Will, was extremely thorougher and showed me any issue that he found, giving me the confidence that I was not being ripped off. He really knew his stuff. Highly recommend this company. Well done to all

Had a pre purchase inspection by ace mechanics. Communication was great, Osman rang me to discuss the report he had completed and emailed to me. Found multiple faults with the car that were not obvious to me. Cost of report was money well spent.

I organised a pre purchase inspection of a used vehicle through ACE mechanics and was so grateful that I did as they picked up on things I wouldn’t have noticed myself and was able to use this to negotiate with the dealership. Thanks to Osman for a thorough check and for calling afterwards to explain it all to me. Definitely recommend!

Been dealing with Ace Mechanics for pre purchase inspections 3 times now. Saved me from buying a lemon twice, most recent Osman did an inspection for me, couldn't be happier with his work. He took the time to explain everything and offer expert advice as well as answer any questions i had professionally. Couldn't recommend then any higher! Cheers guys.

Osman was incredibly helpful and patient when he conducted the inspection on a car that I was interested in. He was very thorough and meticulous, spotting even the smallest inconsistencies like the panel gaps and paint job. He did a great job explaining the faults and concerns in layman terms and even went the extra mile to give me alternatives to look at. Would definitely go with their services again in the future.

We cannot thank Ace Mechanics enough for their prompt service. We were going on our trip in our caravan and within an hour of leaving we had to pull over as the car was losing power.We contacted Ace Mechanics and the wonderful gentleman Nickwho took our call reassured us that they could fix the issue which happened to be the alternator. He called us back to inform us he had found a part for the car. Within 15 mins they arrived. James was amazing and managed to get the part for us and luckily we could continue our trip. I don't know what we would have done without their help. So helpful and such prompt service. Many thanks . Sue and Mark

Highly recommended. Osman did a great inspection of a Corolla I was buying for my daughter. Also, really appreciate Nick going out of his way to give me a second opportunity after the first car I was interested in was sold to someone else just as the mechanic arrived for the inspection. Technically didn’t need to offer that so it was greatly appreciated

We used Ace Mechanics to complete two vehicle inspections ahead of a potential purchase. Nick our mechanic was absolutely lovely - super helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating - he couldn't do enough for us and went as far as recommending the brands and cars that we SHOULD be looking for, when it was clear that we were pretty clueless! A really genuine chap who's kindness and attention to detail saved two travellers from buying a truly horrendous car and set us on the right path! Thanks so much Nick!

From my first call with Nick, and then the thorough vehicle inspection report I received from Nick the mechanic. I feel extremely reassured that I chose the right company to make an informed decision to purchase the vehicle. If you are thinking of purchasing a new car and need a thorough vehicle inspection you won't be disappointed.

Ace literally came to the rescue with a same day call out. Saved me from hiring a tow truck, saved the day because I have a first date tonight (no Uber) and saved me some money (price was very competitive for this kind of job.So literally a win , win, win. Turned my frown upside down.Big shout out to Nick and Henry for their professionalism and attention to all the key details that concern the customer. Will hire again. 👍🏻

Nick, the mechanic who came out to replace the alternator was here in the time frame quoted , he got to work on my car in some not so pleasant weather, and had it done in 1.5 hours . would use their service again and recommend them to others who need a mechanic to come to their car to fix it.

I enquired this morning via website as I required a new alternator and my car was completely dead.
I got a phone call from the company within 5 minutes and was booked in for a couple of hours later. Ali was the mechanic and he rang me to let me know when he would arrive etc. He completed the job professionally and efficiently and kept me in the loop.
Great, friendly service - would 100% recommend 😀

I had no brake lights, got service that day- I think my mechanic was Sam? Very professional, friendly and helpful. Discovered it could not be fixed in my driveway, discussed the next steps, arranged towing and the car was taken soon after. Received a phone call early the next morning, problem solved. Must also say the guys on the phone are awesome, again friendly and helpful. Can not recommend highly enough.

The pipe to our coolant reservoir snapped a day before we were due to go on a road trip. Ace Mechanics were able to source the part before travelling to us and fix the issue within an hour. Customer service was helpful and communication was great - especially necessary when trying to get a car repair within a high-rise apartment car park. Pricing was reasonable considering the emergency and the part was sourced cheaper than we expected. All in a fantastic service from Ace Mechanics - if you’re in a tough spot you can trust them to help.

10/10 all the way for Norm, absolute legend!

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to let everyone know what an asset Norm is at ace mechanics, he is one amazing & knowledgeable mechanic, very thorough, friendly, excellent workmanship and people skills and a true gentleman he really knows his stuff, goes the extra mile to show and explain what is exactly wrong with your car I've dealt with many mechanics over the years and none of them compare to Norm in the slightest, I will be recommending your company and mechanic Norm to all my friends and family as the go to mechanic for all future work,thanks once again it was a true pleasure dealing with Norm today,

Thank you ,

Warm regards Paul & Family

My Christmas present to myself was a new fuel pump and all the bits that go with it. I can’t recommend the team from Ace Mechanics highly enough for such fast, friendly and professional service. From my (not quite) crying call on Sunday morning to the towie on Monday afternoon and the crew at the workshop in Dandenong today, I have had nothing to worry about.

I said that I’m back at work tomorrow and they went all out to make sure I could start on time. What’s not to live?

Five stars +100!!!

Highly recommend Ace Mobile Mechanics.
Prompt service to attend, Sam determined the problem within a couple of minutes, because of his knowledge and that he listened.
Other mechanics we had look at the problem, could not detect the issues.
Took the car to their Dandenong Depot. They worked on it straight away, and it was ready to be collected by the close of business the same day.
Impressive considering the repair needed.
Will use Ace Mechanics again.

Incredible service! Sam is your guy!! I had problem with my Car & I couldn’t get it started. I was unable to move it so I was stuck. I went to two other workshops which didn’t wanted to help me, not even with the towing. Then I called Ace mechanics & I was lucky that I got help from the right guy, Sam! It’s so convenient to get mobile service so I didn’t have to worry about towing, also they showed up the same day! It turned out that it was a problem with my key & that I needed a new one. I got one from a locksmith but the locksmith f**ked it up even worse. Luckily Sam knew how to deal with this problem so he could arrange a new key for me & program it correctly! Now my car is working again & I couldn’t be more happy about it! Many thanks to Sam & Ace mechanics!! I saved a lot of many & stress thanks to their service!
