At T Autocare Takedown in Broken Arrow, safety always comes first.
This Chevy Tahoe came into our shop making a loud grinding noise from the rear wheels. After a quick inspection, it was obvious why: the brake pads were completely worn down to the metal. Metal-on-metal contact not only destroys your rotors—it also puts you and your passengers at serious risk.
When you need brake repairs you can trust, working with a real mechanic near me matters more than ever.

What Happens When Brakes Go Metal-to-Metal?
When brake pads wear completely out:
- The metal backing plate grinds directly against the rotor
- Rotors overheat, warp, and suffer deep grooves
- Stopping distance increases dramatically
- Risk of complete brake failure skyrockets
Ignoring early signs like squealing or vibration can quickly escalate into expensive repairs—or worse, a dangerous breakdown.
In this Tahoe’s case, the damage required new brake pads and rotor replacement to safely restore braking power.
Signs You Might Need Brake Service
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to schedule a brake inspection and repair:
- Squeaking, squealing, or grinding noises
- Vibration or pulsation when braking
- Longer stopping distances
- Brake warning light on the dash
- Soft or spongy brake pedal feel
Catching brake wear early saves you money—and protects your safety on the road.
