My breaks have been squeaking, I know that means that its time to get them checked and probably replaced. Yesterday my replace breaks light came on and I started to hear some grinding so I'm just wondering how many miles can I drive without causing serious damage to the rotors or wheel barrel. Sorry if I'm using the wrong car terms but I'm not to car savvy as I would like to. Should I drive at all?
