Hi Michael, thanks for calling back. My car's been making a really strange grinding noise, especially when I brake.

No problem, Lisa. A grinding noise when braking usually points to worn-out brake pads. How long has it been doing this?

Uh, probably for the last week or so. It's getting louder, which is what made me finally call you.

Right, that's typical. It means the pads are likely gone, and the metal backing plate is probably scraping against the rotors. We definitely need to get that looked at quickly before it causes more damage.
English
是的，这是很常见的。这意味着刹车片可能已经磨光了，金属背板可能正在刮擦刹车盘。我们肯定需要尽快检查一下，以免造成更大的损坏。

Well, for new pads and labour, you're probably looking at around $300-$500 per axle. If the rotors need replacing too, that would be an additional cost, maybe another $150-$200 per rotor.
English
嗯，如果只是更换新的刹车片和人工费，你可能需要准备每轴300到500美元。如果刹车盘也需要更换，那会是额外的费用，每个刹车盘可能还需要150到200美元。
