Check engine light, something to read about
Brake repair now saves money later on. Any auto parts store can sell you brake pads, but be sure to give them the make and model of your car as the pads may vary from make to make. Back home with your car in the driveway, the next step is to jack it up and remove the wheel. These two tasks, buying the pads and jacking up the car, comprise the majority of your brake repair. If you still are not sure that brake repair is necessary, you can eyeball the pads through the brake housing view port before removing the wheel.
