After a long and snowy winter my brakes have been very noisy. :( I thought they were just dirty. So last week I inspected the pads and rotors in the front. Both pads looked good. The rotor on the drivers side had a few marks, but other then that they looked pretty good.

So thinking the pads were just dirty, I sprayed the pads and rotors with the hose. Noise was gone for 2-3 days. But then came back, but not nearly as noisy!

What's the deal? Dirty pads, rotors or do I need to replace the pads?

Your best bet is to have the rotors turned. This will remove the glazed surface and give the pads a fresh surface to work on.
 






Hmm, any idea what that will cost?

Thanks
