Your brakes are your car’s most important safety system. Signs they need attention include squealing, grinding, vibration, or a soft pedal.

✅ Advantages of DIY Brake Work:

  • Possible cost savings
    Why: You avoid labor costs if you do it right.
  • Immediate control
    Why: You can do the job as soon as you notice an issue.

❌ Disadvantages:

  • High safety risk
    Why: A small mistake—like incorrect pad installation—can lead to brake failure.
  • Lack of proper tools
    Why: Many brake jobs require torque wrenches, specialty tools, and lift access.
  • No warranty protection
    Why: DIY work isn’t backed by professional guarantees.
