Default newbie question about brakes

I'm 1 year into my first car, which is a prelude. (Lovin it)

My brakes are squeeking at very low speeds(ie when coming to a stop), is that a sign I need to change the pads?

Any suggestions on pads or work needed?

Thanks!

fyi, I did search for brakes, brakes squeek etc and didn't turn up anything. The most useful thread I found was something like best brake pads

XD someone wanna tell me if squeeking means I should replace the pads?

If you dont know what to look for, just take it to a Midas or one of those other brake places where they'll do a free inspection for you. Then, if you need new pads, just buy the ones you want and have them install it. Better yet, get a Helm's manual and install it yourself

Good luck.

installing brake pads is one of the easiest things you'll ever do in your car! do it yourself!
