Brake Drums and Shoes I Shop Online and Save

Identifying the signs that your brake drums and shoes need servicing is crucial for vehicle safety. One common sign is the presence of squealing or scraping noises when you apply the brakes. This squealing typically happens as the brake shoes wear down. Once they are fully worn, you'll hear a metal-on-metal scraping sound, indicating that the metal shoe platform is exposed. Worn brake shoes can damage your brake drums, making replacement necessary.

The feel of the brake pedal is another key indicator of the condition of drum brakes. When brake shoes are worn, they can't properly press against the drum, resulting in an inconsistent pedal feel. If you notice vibrations while braking, it's time to inspect your drums and shoes and replace the worn-out parts.

Another symptom of a brake issue could be a hard-to-pull hand brake or your vehicle rolling back slightly after engaging the hand brake on an incline. This might also suggest a loose hand brake cable, requiring attention.

Here's an interesting update: I called today for more details on the estimate, and they quoted me $279! Turns out the $600 mentioned earlier included a battery replacement and brake line flushing, both of which we already had done since the battery was the initial reason for our visit. This miscommunication made it seem like $600 was solely for the brake job, but it actually covered everything. Through recommendations from friends, I found three reputable independent shops in my area. I plan to call them for a price comparison, but $279 sounds much more reasonable, especially considering the explanation given by bloody_knuckles.

An added bonus: When I called back, they mentioned applying a coupon to my account for a discount on the $279 (the exact amount wasn't specified), so asking more questions literally paid off.

This forum is fantastic! I'm deeply thankful for all the advice and support, especially since it took some time to understand the estimate breakdown.
