2003 Kia Spectra Grinding noise

Noises problem
2003 Kia Spectra 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 78000 miles

My car is making grinding noise when I apply the breaks. Once I stop and go again, I hear a winding screeching noise until I reach 25 - 35mph. I had my breaks checked last year from Les Schwab and repaired according to their diagnostics. Could it be my breaks or something else?

Hi there,

I would be getting the brakes checked ASAP, it sound as if you have run out of brake pads.
