My car squeaks when I drive and stops when I brake?

Question

2 days ago I was driving my car home from the store and all of a sudden, I rolled down my window and was hearing a squeaking sounds as I was driving down the street. The noise continued until I got to the parking lot and applied my break to slow down...

I went to an auto shop today and told them about the noise but all they did was change my oil (which was not needed). I know, I should have asked them but I am not used to going to an auto shop alone.

They lifted my car and everything so I figured there was nothing wrong. Low and behold as I am driving home, the squeaky noise starts again! But it started 5 minutes down the road as I was in the Starbucks Drive-Thru and continued after that.

Anyone know what is wrong?? And why the auto-repair shop did not fix it?

Answer 1

You're hearing the brake indicators rubbing against the rotors. Time for new brake pads and rotors.

Answer 2

Get the brakes inspected.  Rotors and pads could be bad.

Answer 3

get the breaks checked ..............................
