Brake Service
Brake Service Center
Your car’s brakes are its most important safety component. The folks at the Ocean Crest Chevrolet brake service know your vehicle’s brakes are crucial for your safety and the safety of your passengers. That’s why they pay so much attention to your car’s brake system when you bring it in for service.
Brakes can help prevent an accident by slowing or stopping your car. If your car’s brakes slip, it’s a warning that it’s time for a brake inspection. Don’t put it off. Faulty brakes can cause an accident, injuring the driver, the passengers, another vehicle’s passengers, or pedestrians. Taking your car in for a brake inspection and brake repair will ensure it continues operating safely.
Changing the brake fluid is another important service. The brake fluid should be changed every two years or as recommended by the manufacturer. When you step on the brake pedal, the brake fluid helps move the parts of the braking system, keeps them lubricated, and protects against rust and corrosion.
Our certified service technicians can turn your car’s brake rotors. This should be done after every other brake change. Our mechanic will machine the rotors to remove any excess brake material from the brake pads, preventing warping and grinding and extending the life of the brake pads.
The sound of the brakes can let you know there’s a problem with the brakes. Brakes should be silent when you step on the brake pedal. If they squeak, it could indicate friction from the brake lining. This can damage the brake pads, drums, and rotors. It’s critical to fix this before it becomes a significant problem. If the brakes make a grinding noise, the brake pads may be worn. If this isn’t repaired, it will damage the drums and rotors.
If your car pulls to one side when you apply the brakes, it could mean there’s damage to the brake line or the brake linings are uneven and worn. Dragging brakes are usually a sign the brakes are out of adjustment, or the brake fluid is contaminated.
Your car should stop quickly when you apply the brakes. If you must pump the brakes to stop the vehicle, the brake lines may have an air leak, or there may be air in the brake system. You may notice the brake pedal sinking to the floor when your vehicle is idling. Other signs of brake problems include a brake pedal that feels spongy and banging or vibrations when you deploy the brakes.
If you notice anything unusual with your vehicle’s brakes, don’t put off bringing it in for service. The certified service technicians at the Ocean Crest Chevrolet Service Center can inspect your car’s brakes thoroughly and check the brake fluid. They’ll locate the source of any brake problems and repair the vehicle quickly, so you can continue driving safely.
