Do You Need New Brakes?
Your brakes should be part of your regularly-scheduled maintenance, but they also give you warning signs when something is amiss. If you hear sounds like grinding, whistling, squealing or anything else unusual, it may mean that you’re in need of a brake repair or replacement.
Here are the common causes of these sounds:
- Worn brake pads/discs
- Cracked or worn brake rotors
- Loose brake pads
- Uneven torque in caliper hardware or lug nuts
In addition, your brakes come with a small strip of metal attached to the brake pad. This serves as an indicator that your pad is getting worn and needs replacement. When your pads become worn, this strip will alert you with a chirping sound.
Normal Brake Wear
There are several components to your braking system, all of which wear down at different rates. Each of these individual components should be replaced or repaired as part of your routine vehicle maintenance, but there are specific signs to look out for with each.
Brake Caliper
This is a hydraulic clamp that holds the brake pad onto the brake rotor.
Here are some indicators of wear:
- Locking brakes
- Pulling to either direction when braking
- Inadequate brake force
- Pulsing in the pedal
- Additional stopping distance
- Leaking fluid
- A Spongy feeling in the brake pedal
Brake Pads
These are flat pads that lay against the rotor and cause friction that slows and stops your vehicle.
Here are some indicators of wear:
- Squealing, grinding, or chirping
- Inadequate stopping power
- A brake pedal that’s low to the floor
Brake Rotors
These are rotating discs that slow and stop your vehicle when the brake pads create friction.
Here are some indicators of wear:
- Pulsing pedal
- Grinding or squealing
- A brake pedal that’s low to the floor
- Pulling in either direction when braking
Brake Shoes
These are used with rear brakes and create friction on the inside of the brake drum to slow or stop your vehicle.
Here are some indicators of wear:
- Inadequate stopping power
- Pulsing pedal
- Additional stopping distance
- A pedal that’s low to the floor
- Unusual sounds
Brake Hose
This transports brake fluid from your solid-steel brake lines to the wheel cylinder or caliper. These hoses are flexible and allow the other components to move freely.
Here are some indicators of wear:
- Spongy pedal
- Visible tears or cracks in the line
- Leaking fluid
- Pulling in either direction when braking

The service is great here! I got my first car here and had to come again for my second one!
JC was professional, knowledgeable and patient with answering all my questions. I absolutely loved that he spent time sitting in the car with me going over all the features. I knew I was in good hands.. The dealership is lucky to have JC on their team. The Marino dealership was clean, organized, and all the staff were friendly and polite. it was a nice feeling to walk into a business where everyone was introducing themselves and I was even offered a coffee from the coffee bar.😀

Michigan resident here. Searching online for a used Jeep within 400 miles and I found what I was looking for at Marino CJDR. Over the top customer service throughout the whole thing. I completed the whole process online and it was delivered a day after closing. Ashur was there for every question that I had. He made the whole process seamless.
The delivery driver was top notch as well. They moved their schedule around and delivered the Jeep late at night as I was going to be out of town all day on the day they initially intended to deliver it.

August 25th, I purchased a used Ford Explorer from Marino. The purchasing process was a decent experience. I worked with Darek in sales who was easy to work with and overall a good experience. Part of the purchase process was I had Marino agree on an "I Owe You." The car I bought did not come with floor mats so there was a written agreement on an I Owe You that floor mats for the explorer would be sent to me after purchase.
One week after purchase, I followed up to see if there was an update on ... Read More Google - Nov 5, 2026
I spent almost the entire day there waiting, and in the end, I just left. The only thing they told me was, "We'll call you in a bit"—but I never received a call from them. Terrible service.
I have been working with JC and the entire crew at Marino for several years. The white-glove support and transparency throughout the entire buying process have been amazing. You're the best! Thank you, Steve
Dan was great he got me the vehicle I wanted and was in constant communication
Dan was excellent! Everyone was professional and helpful. I am committed to purchasing my Hero’s here.
(Translated by Google) In June of this year, I traded in my 2024 RAM 2500 for a brand new 2026 Jeep (a bad deal, I deeply regret it). Obviously, they convinced us to make the trade, and we've had a bad experience. After three months, the Jeep started having low tire pressure. I ignored it, thinking it was a sensor issue and that it would go away, which it didn't. The warning light stayed on. Days later, I received some recall notices in the mail, telling me I had to bring the Jeep in because of some warnings or recalls. I ... Read More Google - Oct 28, 2026
JC was very helpful and made our purchase go very smoothly. We highly recommend JC.
JC provided outstanding customer service throughout our purchase of a 2027 Jeep Wrangler (Willys). He guided us through every step and helped us secure a deal we felt comfortable with. 10/10 experience. We’ll be recommending him to others.
JC was really helpful with our purchase. He did an amazing job helping us find our dream car.
DON'T GO HERE!!! AVIOD LIKE THE PLAGUE They had my truck 9 weeks. 4 weeks for a diagnosis 3weeks for repairs and 2 weeks because my extended warranty was being difficult. When I picked it up it was leaking oil and throwing more codes than when I brought it in. Had to bring it back 2 days later. The charged me for coolant they never put in, my reservoir was fine dry. Charged me for an oil change, charged 8 quarts in a 7 quart truck and didn't change the oil filter. I know because the one I installed and dated was still there 03/17/2026. ...

When purchasing a new 2027 Chevrolet Equinox, from Marino Chevrolet, I found all the staff were great to work with, especially the sales consultant, Victor Aviles. Victor was absolutely fantastic. He very patiently worked with me through all of decisions I had to make, made sure that all of my many questions were completely answered and that I understood how to use all of the features of the new Equinox before I made the purchase.
I left the dealership absolutely confident that I made the right choice, both in my choice of vehicle and dealership. Purchasing a new vehicle from Marino ... Read More Google - Oct 14, 2026

Anna and Jc Alvarado were very helpful to help me get the best deal . They are very professional and will recommend them 100% .
Can I believe how nice the dealership was to me? I would recommend this dealership to everybody. I left my phone at the dealership, and they were kind enough to have somebody bring it to Evergreen Park, which was 45 minutes away.\n The truck I bought. It may not be perfect but is the most beautiful thing in my eyes I've ever had. Thank you so much for all your help
Love this dealership!! Love working with Lauren Marino and JC! Easiest car buying process! Will only ever buy my cars from Marino!

Dan was outstanding. We connected on our preferred vehicle specs, our communization preferences and target cost. He went to work and the first time we met him in person was when we bought the Jeep (that matched all of our requirements!!). Highly recommend Marino Jeep and Dan in particular. Would definitely buy another vehicle through both!!
Marino Chicago offers a great buying or trade in experience ,agents are professional and very knowledge , highly recommended
Marino Chicago its a great dealership to do business with it , agents are professional and very knowledge ,highly recommended !
My wife and I went in to find a used car and trade in. We had a Jeep we wanted to look at so I mentioned it to Abdul as he greeted us at the door. He said we can do that but then asked what are we really looking for in a vehicle. We ended test driving 4 vehicles of different sizes and picked the best for us. No pressure put onto us. He answered all our questions. He made us very comfortable. Our whole experience was enjoyable and non pressured. We are very happy with our selection.
Very disappointed with the service department’s customer service.
I have been trying since this morning to make an appointment with the service department, and I still have not received a return phone call. I have questions about my vehicle that I need answered by an actual service representative before I waste my time bringing the vehicle in.
Instead, I keep getting directed to an AI/computer system. I don’t want to communicate with a computer—I need to speak with a human being who can answer my questions.
If this is how they handle customers who are trying ... Read More Google - Sep 30, 2026
JC Alvarado de marino es un excelente ejecutivo de ventas me respondió todas mis dudas excelente servicio.
I decided to buy out my leased 2023 Pacifica. JC and team made the transaction easy. I always enjoy working with the Marino team.
I had an excellent experience with Frank, Mike and Gabriel. I was treated with respect, and I felt that my business mattered to them. Glad to be a part of the Marino family!
There is a rep who ran my credit several times and I only authorized 1
It was a great experience with Marino, Chris Jeep and I met JC. I bought my ram 1500 happy for the new purchase.
Absolutely Fantastic team. Although I had purchased my jeep elsewhere (and I had several issues with it ) the marino service, was always excellent in helping me get back in the road in a timely manner, so when it came time to trade in my lease I wanted to come to start my car buying journey here.
Let me say there was no need to go anywhere else. I had the pleasure of working with JC Alvarado who not only found me my perfect vehicle but made the experience fun while, addressing all questions and needs, And on the finance side ... Read More DealerRater - Sep 25, 2026
Courteous and knowledgeable, willing to go above and beyond to get the deal done. Would highly recommend.

This is my fourth vehicle with Marino Chrysler Jeep Dodge, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience every time.

Best car purchase ever. Marino Chrysler Jeep Dodge has an incredible team ready to help you buy your next car. Super transparent, and they definitely put the customer needs first!!! Make sure you ask for Dan in Sales, and Roberto in Finance. Will be back to purchase my next car with them!
Good thank you

We are very thankful to Abdul to help us to find the best car for me and my husband. He was so kind, patience, understanding and we appreciate his honest opinion. And that’s why we bought 2 cars. Also, Mr. Mel-the general sales manager and Mr. Alex-Finance manager was very helpful to make everything easy for us and smooth. Over all great people and services.

Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing customer service and excellent work with the JC. The attention to detail and care provided was outstanding. I truly appreciated the professionalism, kindness, and exceptional service. Highly recommended
Bought a Jeep Moab 392 here after a bad set of experiences elsewhere. The entire staff was excellent and made it a smooth process. Sales manager, service manager, finance manager all top notch. Big thanks to Joe Turner for going through the whole process with me and making it easy.
The service and attention to detail is unmatched. They made the transaction seemless. This is the second vehicle I've purchased from Marino Jeep and each time they exceed the standard.
Excellent service; everyone was very friendly, and they were able to get what I was looking for
At this point of our lives, we can consider a Marino Family! ☺️ We got a Jeep Compass 🧭 about 3 months ago and Two days ago a Dodge Ram 2500 We like to thank a lot to J.C. and all his team for helping Us! Thank you Marino Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram!!!!!!
Don’t ever get your car serviced here. Email will be sent to Paul and Bob in the service department regarding this matter.
If my Jeep needs something done, I know I can trust the service folks at Marino to get it done correctly. They're honest about what's needed and won't try to add some additional xx just to upsell you. I appreciate that they'll go the extra mile (pun intended) for me.
I had a wonderful experience Alec and Carlos were amazing as well as everyone there were so welcoming. I got an amazing deal on my BMW x6 Awesome customer service.
I’ve bought multiple cars from Marino for myself and my family, and they’ve all been through J.C. He always does a great job finding the right car with the options you need, even the ones you forgot you wanted.
I had to bring my kids with me to finish the deal, and J.C. was ready with crayons, coloring books, and even an Elsa figurine. He really went out of his way to make the whole deal as smooth as possible.
