Chevrolet Brake Services in Brunswick, GA
At Dan Vaden Chevrolet Brunswick, GA, we recommend regular brake inspections to ensure the brake system is in good health. The inspection might reveal a need for new brake pads, brake rotors service, brake fluid exchange, or other types of brake services. Getting these services on time can save you from expensive repairs and keep your vehicle in safe driving condition. Our service center is located in Brunswick, GA, close to Dock Junction and Sterling.
Brake Services
- Brake Fluid Exchange - Brake fluid transfers and amplifies the force of your foot on the brakes to the calipers; as a hygroscopic fluid, it will absorb moisture and eventually need to be replaced as it becomes less effective.
- Brake Pad Replacement - The brake pads consist of a metal backing and a softer brake lining that is designed to wear down; when this lining gets thin, it's time to have your brake pads replaced.
- Rotor Resurfacing or Replacement - The brake rotors may become glazed or warped well before they wear out; we can resurface the rotors, smoothing their surface to help you avoid paying for entirely new parts before it's necessary.
- Caliper Service - The brake calipers squeeze together to push the brake pads against the brake rotors, and they will regularly need to be cleaned, lubricated, and inspected to ensure that they are providing the necessary precision.
Brake Pads
One of the most vulnerable parts of the brake system is the brake pads. They are designed to provide friction in the rotors. This results in gradual wearing out of the brake pads. If they wear past their minimum thickness, they won't be able to function as designed. Our technicians can replace the brake pads if they are worn out. We carry Chevrolet OEM brake pads at our facility. Signs of worn-out brake pads include squeaking or grinding noise when braking, stiff or a spongy feel to the brake pedal, or an increase in the vehicle's braking distance.
Brake Rotors
The rotors are more durable than the brake pads, but over time they also suffer from damage. We can perform a tooling service for the rotors, which helps improve the surface of the rotors. This service is only possible if there is enough thickness remaining on the rotors. For rotors that have been severely damaged, we would recommend getting a brake rotor replacement service at our facility. A physical inspection of the rotors can help determine the right service for them.
Brake Fluid Exchange
Brake fluid is an essential component of the brake system as it provides the required hydraulic pressure for the system. Issues with brake fluid can cause the brake system to underperform, or in severe cases, it can cause complete brake failure. Knowing when to brake fluid exchange for your vehicle can be tricky. Allow our technicians at Dan Vaden Chevrolet Brunswick, GA to guide the brake fluid exchange service and let you know the service intervals. We only carry high-quality brake fluid that is fully compatible for use in Kia vehicles.
