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

Took in my 2016 Durango for service & the young man I believe named Tyler Dunham explained everything so eloquently and concise that made me feel confident that we came to the right place ! Thank you Marino Dodge , jeep & ram for great service and thank you Tyler for being very professional and patient with us !
JC and the whole Marino crew including Tony introducing himself to us were first class. They treated my wife and I so well and helping us to get our first Jeep grand Cherokee. We love it and we love the crew. They are a really first class dealership.
Thanks to JC and team with my new 2026 gladiator purchase. This is our 3rd new car purchased at marino their new cars come with more options for the price. I drove from Indiana to get a great deal thanks again 👍
Great working with JC. He made the purchase go fast, hassle free and professional from walking in to driving out.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience purchasing my 2021 GMC Terrain from Marino’s CJD! From the moment I walked through the door, I was treated like family, and that made all the difference.
A huge thank you goes to Dave, my salesman, who went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Dave was friendly, patient, and genuinely cared about making sure I found the right vehicle for my needs. There was never any pressure—just honest guidance and exceptional customer service.
Buying a vehicle can sometimes feel stressful, but Dave made everything smooth, easy, and enjoyable. He took ... Read More Google - Jun 23, 2026
Dan Koljovic was an incredibly helpful salesperson. He has sold us multiple cars now and we will only go to him for our car needs. He is responsive and does not pressure us into anything. He truly wants us to have the best experience and car for us. We would recommend him to any of our friends or family.
Second time working with JC. Always an easy and quick process which is almost unheard of when purchasing a vehicle. JC and Frank are the best!!!
Communication was good, didn’t take all day. I would recommend someone because of the service I received.
My family have been longtime customers with Marino and JC Alvarado. Always a great experience here.
Thanks to marino sales and finance team they are very easy to talk to . we have purchased 3 new vehicles from them. Thank you JC and team
Great service from Jan! He ensured my Jeep issues were resolved and stayed in constant communication. 10/10 recommend!
This is my fifth Jeep purchase from JC at Marino, and he is the main reason I keep coming back and bringing my family to purchase vehicles from him. JC is truly amazing—professional, honest, knowledgeable, and always willing to help.
Everything you hear and read about him is absolutely true. He is the real deal and, in my opinion, one of the top people at Marino. It's rare to find someone who genuinely cares about their customers and consistently delivers such an outstanding experience.
Marino is fortunate to have an exceptional executive and sales professional like JC on ... Read More DealerRater - Jun 12, 2026
We had went to 2 dealerships before Marino. Dan Koljovic was helpful from the start! He respected my budget and was very patient and kind. He did what was needed to stay within our budget! I would recommend Dan for the best customer service hands down!
Five stars isn’t enough.
My wife and I recently purchased a 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited Reserve 4x4 from Marino CDJR, and it was, without question, the best vehicle-buying experience we’ve ever had.
We’re seasoned Jeep buyers and have also purchased vehicles from other brands over the years. Having been through the process many times.. we’ve seen both the best and the worst (pushy sales & long office waiting games) of dealership experiences. Simply put, every previous experience pales in comparison to what we experienced at Marino.
From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt ... Read More Google - Jun 8, 2026
What an amazing experience working with JC throughout the entire purchase process! A friend and family member recommended that I meet JC because of his outstanding service, professionalism, and great pricing, and he absolutely exceeded my expectations.
I was looking for a Ram 1500 for my company, and JC went above and beyond his job to make the deal happen. Not only did he secure additional discounts, but he also personally arranged for the vehicle to be delivered to my home.
Because of this exceptional experience, I plan to purchase two more Ram 1500 trucks for my company through JC. He and ... Read More DealerRater - Jun 8, 2026

Highly recommend. Dave was very helpful throughout the entire process of us purchasing our car
Jc, Tony and Frank were awesome. I highly recommend coming to Marino. They're very helpful and gave me a great deal.
Dave was very helpful throughout the car buying process. Very professional overall would utilize dealership in future
Great place to buy a car! Outstanding service!
It was a great experience dealing with Marino. Got the vehicle that we were looking for and everyone from Dave (salesman) to Frank ( General Manager ) to Gabe (finance guy) were great to deal with. I would definitely recommend Marino .
My partner and I had a great experience purchasing our vehicle. Norberto Mendoza was friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He answered all of our questions, took the time to explain everything clearly, and never made us feel pressure. Buying a car can be stressful, but Norberto made the process easy and straightforward.
At this point, we have only worked with Norberto and have not yet had experience with any other departments or services related to our vehicle. If anything changes in the future, I will update my review. For now, I can confidently say that Norberto ... Read More Google - Jun 4, 2026
Can’t express enough how great Norberto Mendoza was in helping my fiancé and I purchase our 2025 Jeep Compass. Norberto was welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process and made the experience of purchasing our first vehicle exciting and rewarding. The entire staff was very personable and made what can become a very long, tedious process as simple and as smooth as possible. Special shoutout to the Sales Manager, Alec as well as the Finance Manager, Roberto for their support and ease in answering any additional questions we had and offering us advice as new buyers.

Marino customer service is excellent. I bought a house in far south suburbs my jeep died I immediately called Marino and they were a life savior. JC is the reason I’ve purchased the last 3 vehicles from Marino. It’s not just a sale for them. They treat you like family.
JC was great to work with. Super friendly and knowledgeable! Was a really great experience!
At Marino to purchase another car from here, JC was super helpful with the purchase of my new Ram 1500. Very glad Mike recommended him to me!
Hands down the easiest car buying experience I have ever had. Tony, Dan, Gabriel, especially Frank went above and beyond to provide a seamless buying process and a great deal. I can’t recommend them enough.

It’s always a pleasure to work with JC at Marino. He will make sure you get the vehicle you’re looking for and make the process super easy! Everyone we’ve referred received the same experience. Thank you JC!!
I felt that the team members all trated me with professionalism. A generally good experience.
It was a great experience working with JC. That’s the reason I always come back to Marino Chrysler Jeep Dodge. I will continue bringing my family and friends to him because I truly appreciate the time he takes to explain everything with great knowledge and professionalism. I also want to congratulate JC and the Marino brand on the new Chevy dealership alongside Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram. I truly believe he will continue selling more vehicles than anyone else. Thank you again for the outstanding customer service and amazing experience!
Quiero agradecer a Jose Cadena por toda la ayuda y paciencia durante el proceso de compra de mi automóvil. Hizo que todo fuera mucho más fácil, siempre atento, profesional y dispuesto a ayudar en cada paso. Definitivamente recomiendo trabajar con él. ¡Muchas gracias por el excelente servicio!
I have leased several Jeep Wranglers with Dan Koljovic at Marino and have been happy with each one. Dan is up front and honest when it comes to coming up with a vehicle in our price range and works hard to find the exact Jeep we are after each time. For the last lease we entered into he was able to work with us remotely for much of the paper work so that when our Jeep came in it only took a short time at the dealership to drive away with it. Dan has been great to work with, is ... Read More DealerRater - May 22, 2026
Amazing experience highly recommended, walked out with a 2026 DURANGO SRT HELLCAT JAILBREAK🐈⬛🔥 you guys need anything ask for sales man Beto, really helpful, highly recommended! 10/10
I want to give special thanks to the team at Marino Jeep . My top salesperson, JC, is the best person in the car industry — the reason I keep coming back. He always provides excellent service, professionalism, and makes the whole experience easy and enjoyable. I also want to thank his managers, Frank and Gabriel, who are truly good people and run a great team. Thank you all for the excellent customer service and support. Highly recommended!
Dan ordered a 2026 Dodge Durango direct from the factory for us, to get it outfitted exactly like we wanted. The delivery came early, most of the paperwork was already done and everything was exactly as it should have been. It's the easiest car buying experience I've had in my almost 40 years of buying cars!
JC is very knowledgeable and attentive. Making a big purchase is always stressful but JC made it comfortable and as seamlessly as possible. I would recommend this dealer to anyone and 100% recommend JC!
I had been a MARINO Family for a while, The all Family has a Marino Vehicle?
I want to give a huge thank you to JC and his partner Mel for their outstanding service. JC is truly one of the best in the industry — professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and always going above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Mel was also amazing, friendly, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. Their dedication, professionalism, and excellent customer care made the entire experience exceptional. Highly recommended — if you want top-quality service, JC and Mel are t he team to trust! Thank you JC
I had no idea I’ll be leaving this dealership with a brand new car. JC Alvarado made my dream a reality I must include the entire staff. Every body was so polite professional and amazing. The service was fast a warm atmosphere. It actually made Me fell at home JC was amazing from start til finish. I will definitely tell all my friends about this amazing experience. I honestly walked in sad cause I had to leave with the same car. (Until the magic happened) now walking out happy and confident. Thanks
We have bought several Jeeps from Marino Jeep. We prefer their straight forward and convenient customer service. We will be returning for our next car purchase this year.
Happy with our purchase. Dan was helpful and informative. Made sure we understood all our options and worked with us to get to where we wanted to be financially.
This is the best dealership I’ve ever worked with and I have been driving Jeeps for almost 15 years. From the time we stepped foot on the lot, everyone was friendly and polite. Not pushy and listened to exactly what I wanted. Delivered beyond my expectations when it came to the vehicle. Norberto Mendoza Was my sales rep and he was knowledgeable, friendly and patient because I knew what I wanted and would not settle (not that he asked me to). He worked hard to find my truck and I couldn’t be happier. I will refer everyone I can!
Awesome car dealer!!
Great service! Did amazing to keep me satisfied with my visit and purchase very flexible.
Jose was very helpful. I didnt want to spend so much time at dealer and made it happen

We love the new Jeep. Thanks for the great experience, buddy. You're the best.
If you’re looking for someone who’s actually going to look out for you and not just try to sell you a car, go see Jon Barca. I’ve bought every Jeep I’ve owned through him, and today he just helped me lock in another one.
What separates Jon from everyone else is he’s not pushy, he’s not playing games, and he’s not trying to finesse you. He keeps it 100% honest, breaks everything down so you actually understand what you’re signing, and makes sure you’re walking away with something that makes sense for ...

JC Alvarado nos ayudo mucho comprando nuestra nueva Durango gt plus awd,fue muy amable el mejor vendedor.
JC does a tremendous job making sure his customers are taking care of! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Anna made the entire car buying process smooth, easy, and stress-free. From the moment I walked in, she was professional, attentive, and truly cared about helping me find the right car — not just making a sale. She answered all my questions clearly, stayed patient the whole time, and made sure I felt comfortable with every step. I really appreciated her honesty and the way she treated me with respect. If you’re looking for someone who will go the extra mile and make the experience enjoyable, I highly recommend asking for Anna. I would definitely work with her again!
I have a very positive experience with Jonathan today. He made sure to answer all of my questions and was very confident in his work. He made sure I also felt confident with the decision I was taking today.
I had a very positive experience working with my sales representative at the dealership. From the beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my needs. They took the time to walk me through all my options, answered my questions clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire process.
What stood out most was their transparency and willingness to work with me to find the best possible deal. They were patient, never pushy, and genuinely focused on helping me make an informed decision rather than just closing a sale.

JC and Craig made buying the car easy and smooth. I like how we were treated with respect and not just another customer. They will go the extra mile for you. I will definitely refer JC and Craig to anyone who is looking for a Jeep Dodge or Chrysler.
I recently purchased a 2026 Dodge Ram from Jon at Marino Dodge, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. My new truck is absolutely stunning, drives perfectly, and exceeded all of my expectations. Marino Dodge truly delivered excellent customer service and a top-quality vehicle. I highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable car-buying experience.
Juan Carlos fue muy amable, proactivo y nos ayudo muchísimo comprando nuestro nuevo carro. Estamos muy felices. Además las instalaciones estaban muy limpias y todas las personas eran muy amables
The staff couldn’t have been any nicer or helpful to work with. Got the car I wanted for a price I needed and Dan and Jackie made everything seamless and easy. Highly recommend.
Staff was helpful
John was the best salesman a new car buyer is looking for. Respectfully patient and honestly the best. Thanks a lot

JC was great. The whole process was smooth and easy. The staff was friendly and the environment was great as well.
The staff was friendly but they weren’t accommodating to my process after traveling 12 hours to their dealership. Better communication was needed before my arrival.
Jose was very helpful with my car purchase and very informative about the vehicle . I am very happy with my purchase of the car and recommend anybody to buy with Jose.
