Got questions? Here are some answers to a few of the most common inquiries we receive about brake service:

How do brakes work?

When you press your foot on the brake pedal, pressurized hydraulic fluid transfers that force to calipers (clamps) that squeeze the brake pad, forcing it against the surface of the rotors. This creates friction which causes the wheels of the vehicle to slow down or stop.

What does brake service involve?

Depending on your situation, brake service could involve replacing brake fluid and any damaged brake lines, servicing or replacing your brake pads, or replacing the entire brake system.

How often should I service my breaks?

It’s a good idea to have your breaks inspected each time you have an oil change. Our technicians can let you know if any brake service is needed, as it depends on the quality of the components and your personal driving style. Brake fluids and pads need replacement more often than the brakes themselves.

What are some signs that my brakes need service?

GM vehicles often come equipped with a warning indicator that emits a high-pitched sound when the brake pad material is getting low. If your brakes seem less responsive, or if your vehicle pulls to one side when you apply the brakes, it’s definitely time to have them serviced. Other signs to look for include screeching or grinding sounds when you apply the brake. You should also be concerned if your vehicle vibrates when the brakes are applied.
