Are There Any Signs That My Brakes Need Service?

Whether venturing to new places or tackling your daily Rockland commute, you'll want to pay close attention to the way your Chevy model drives. While behind the wheel, you can keep an eye out for any unusual behaviors while braking, including:

• Brake Warning Light - One of the main signs that your brakes need attention can be found on your dashboard. Your Chevy model can detect when something is wrong and alert you right away. Our team can diagnose the issue and make any necessary repairs or adjustments.
• Vibrations - If you notice that your steering wheel or vehicle shakes whenever you press on the brake pedal, your brake pads may be worn. Driving too long without service could warp your rotors and cause further damage.
• Less Responsive - When your brake pads are worn, your brakes need additional pressure to slow you down or bring you to a stop. If ignored, your brake pads could stop working altogether. Our team can inspect your brake pads and replace them with a new set.
• Foul Odor - If you smell any noxious odors coming from your vehicle or tires, you'll want to bring it to our Chevy service center as soon as possible. Our technicians will perform an inspection and diagnose the issue.
• Screeching, Grinding, or Squealing - Any unusual noises that occur when you hit the brakes can be a cause for concern. These troubling sounds could mean that your brake pads and shoes are worn and need to be replaced before further damage occurs.
