Your brakes are an essential system for your vehicle. Without working brakes, you are basically putting your life on the line every time you drive. If there are problems with your Chevy Monte Carlo brakes, you should not put off repairing them because of the costs or time involved, because the longer you wait, the worse your brakes are going to get.

The most common warning sign of brake damage that drivers often ignore is the high-pitched squealing or squeaking sound they can sometimes make when they are starting to go. Since this noise does not affect the performance of your Monte Carlo brakes, you may be tempted to just hope that it goes away.

However, it is important to realize that your squeaking brakes are trying to tell you that your brake pads are worn and need to be replaced. Once your brake pad linings have dropped to less than an eighth of an inch thick, the performance of your Chevy Monte Carlo brakes will be affected because your rotors will be damaged as well. A loud, grating sound means that it is too late, and you will need to replace both rotors and pads. The feel of your Monte Carlo brakes can also indicate problems. If your Chevy Monte Carlo brakes seem softer than usual, it is likely due to a loss of hydraulic brake fluid. You may just need to top off your reservoir, or you might have a leak in your brake lines, brake hoses, or master cylinder. Hard Monte Carlo brakes can indicate frozen calipers, a pinched line, or bad power boosters.
