When Is it Time to Get Your Brakes Checked?

---

Brakes that work well are critical to your safety and that of the motorists around you. Anything can happen when you're on the road, so it's essential that you can bring your vehicle to a stop in a hurry. Brake pads and other components wear down over time, making them less effective at doing their job. Luckily, you can look for several warning signs that let you know it's time to act.

One of the most common signs that brake maintenance is required is when you hear a squeaking or screeching noise when you step on your brake pedal. This sound may be GM's brake warning system, which is a thin strip of metal built into all brake pads. The metal strip is positioned to grind against the brake discs when the pads are about to wear out. It gives you time to stop by your local GM service center to get replacement pads fitted before any serious vehicle damage occurs.

Another sign of brake trouble is if you hear a grinding sound when braking. This typically indicates that the brake pads have worn through completely, causing the brake discs to grind against the metal calipers. You'll need to take measures urgently in this scenario since failing to replace your pads can severely damage your brake system, which can be expensive to put right.

You may also notice your vehicle pulling to one side when you brake. This may indicate a problem with your braking system, but it could also be an issue with another part of your vehicle. It's best to bring your GMC in for a checkup by one of our professionals to get to the bottom of the issue.

Brake Servicing and Repairs in Springfield

Our service center is equipped to perform a wide range of brake maintenance and repair jobs. As part of your routine maintenance schedule, we can inspect your brake pads regularly to determine whether they're still in good condition.

Routine inspections are the most effective way to prevent damage to your brake system since we can replace your pads before they wear out. Another common maintenance task we perform is topping up your brake fluid, which is crucial because it helps retain the pressure your system needs to apply the brakes.

If you're already experiencing brake trouble, we'll conduct a thorough inspection of your brake system to determine what the damage is and how we can put it right. If a larger repair job is needed, one of our auto technicians will give you a quote so you can see the breakdown of parts and labor in the overall cost you'll need to pay.

We specialize in repairs and reconditioning all aspects of your brakes. This includes fixing damaged brake lines, replacing worn rotors and damaged calipers, and flushing your brake lines to clear debris from the system. We can also deal with high-performance brakes, such as the premium brake pads you get on a sports car.
