Volkswagen Brake Pad Replacement in Indianapolis, IN
Signs of Failing Brake Pads
To alert you to a worn brake pad, most brake pads have a metal part inside them that is meant to hit the metal of your rotor. This causes a loud squealing sound, and it's the best way to know you need new brake pads. You may also feel grinding, vibration, or scratching when you brake, and a visual inspection of your brake pads can confirm your suspicions. If any of these apply to you, don't stress; Tom Wood Volkswagen has you covered with our brake pad replacement service.Â

The Brake Pad Replacement Process
Changing a brake pad starts with lifting your car and taking off the wheels. Once they're gone, you can remove the pieces that allow you to turn the foot of the brake out and see the brake pad. We replace the brake pad and the clips holding it to the foot so that the new pad has no chance of coming off. Then we put the brake foot back in place, secure it, replace the wheels, and then test the brakes. Once we're satisfied, we get your car back to you!Â
The Perils of Worn Brake Pads
In our story above, we imagined a situation where a sudden stop would be necessary, and we all know what happens if the brakes aren't sufficient to stop you. But we use our brakes in less emergent situations all the time when we drive. Gradual slowing down, maintaining the speed limit, and turning are all common uses of the brake. We don't want any of those situations to go wrong, and a brake pad replacement with VW OEM parts gives you peace of mind that your car is safe. Â
