Why Regular Brake Maintenance Is Key

Healthy, operational brakes are nonnegotiable for safe and consistent driving, but brake hardware will degrade and become less reliable over time. Thats why having brake parts serviced or replaced regularly by professionals is integral to Chevy maintenance.

Common brake problems include:

Worn and cracked brake pads or rotors

Loosing-fitting brake pads

Uneven torque variation

Jammed caliper pistons

Air or contaminants in brake lines

Signs Your Brakes Need Service

If you suspect your vehicle is experiencing issues, schedule service with a professional to avoid a severe safety hazard. Sometimes its obvious theres a problem with your brakes, but other times the signs are subtle. Here are three signs your brakes need service right away:

Brake Warning Indicator

The brake warning indicator should light up when the brakes are engaged. If the light remains on after you disengage the brake, it may mean that the brake pads are worn down or cannot release fully.

Unusual Noises

When brakes are engaged, unusual noises such as whirring, grinding, or squealing are symptoms of various hardware problems. A Chevy service professional can help you diagnose and repair these problems.

Fluid Loss

Loss of brake fluid is a sign of a leak, which is a serious safety hazard. If you notice this sign, schedule service immediately and avoid driving until the problem is fixed.
