Why are my Audi A1 brakes squeaking?

I've noticed that my Audi A1's brakes are making a high-pitched squeaking noise whenever I come to a stop. Is this a serious issue or something I can fix on my own?

Hi Samantha, squeaking brakes on an Audi A1 can be caused by a few different things. It's always best to have a professional mechanic take a look and diagnose the issue for you. However, one common cause of squeaking brakes is worn brake pads. These should be replaced regularly to ensure the safety of your vehicle and to prevent further damage to the brakes. I'd recommend scheduling an appointment with a trusted mechanic to have your brakes inspected and potentially replaced.
