Chevrolet Service Maintaining Your Brakes

Chevrolet Service: Maintaining Your Brakes

Your car’s brakes are one of the most vital components for safe operation — if you begin to experience mechanical issues with them, it can lead to poor handling and potential accidents. Getting Chevrolet service is never ideal, but if problems arise, you must visit our service center as soon as possible so we can restore your brakes to working order. To help you learn more about brake service, our team at Lester Glenn Chevrolet of Freehold has prepared this guide.

What Is Brake Service?

When you visit our service center, the first thing that our technicians will do is complete a thorough inspection of your brakes to determine the exact problem. The brake system might seem simple at first, but there are a lot of moving parts that work in tandem to deliver the smooth experience that you have. We’ll check all of these Chevy parts, including your brake pads, rotors, calipers, and brake fluids.

When Do I Need Service?

There’s no rule set in stone to determine when you need brake service, so it’s important to pay attention to any signs that there could be something wrong. It’s difficult to inspect the brake system at home compared to some other parts, so it’s best to take it into our service center once you realize there’s an issue. If you don’t notice any issues but still wish to keep up with brake maintenance, we recommend stopping by at least once every 25,000 miles or so.

If you’re concerned that something could be wrong with the brakes in your Chevy vehicle, here are some signs to look out for:

• Brake pads are softer than usual or squeal when pressed
• Steering wheel shakes or vibrates while driving
• Brake icon on your dashboard lights up
