Are you having worries about your car? If you're replacing your brakes or you're curious about whether your new brakes were installed correctly, we've got you covered. Here, we'll take a look at what you need to know to pinpoint and avoid common mistakes before taking your car in for brake repair services.
First, be careful with your brake pads. It's easy to put them on backward, but doing so can have devastating consequences.

If your brake pads aren't on correctly, your rotor will develop grooves and need to be replaced quickly.
Next, you'll need to take a look at your caliper brackets. Sometimes, these are side-specific, and it's important that you have them on the right side of your vehicle. Properly installing your caliper brackets will ensure that your brakes are securely attached to your car, and will stop them from rattling as you drive.
When removing the rotor, use a hammer carefully if you aren't able to slide it off on your own. Be careful not to hit the studs. If your rotor still isn't coming off, you'll need to use some rust spray while tapping the rotor from the back.
Remember, safety first -- if you're not sure whether you've installed your brakes correctly, be sure to make an appointment with your local brake repair services. They'll be able to make sure you're traveling safely. Ask friends and family for the best shops near you.
