Importance of Regular Brake Inspection
Regular brake inspection is crucial for maintaining the safety and reliability of your vehicle. Brakes are subject to wear and tear with every use, and over time, this wear can lead to decreased performance and increased stopping distances, potentially putting you and others at risk. At Countryside Chevrolet, our trained technicians thoroughly inspect your braking system to ensure everything functions properly, identifying any issues before they become serious problems.
Knowing When to Replace or Repair the Brakes
It's important to regularly check your car's brakes as part of a routine maintenance schedule. However, several signs indicate the need for an immediate inspection.
- If you hear grinding or squealing noises during braking, feel a wobble or vibration in the steering wheel or notice a longer stopping distance, it's time to visit Countryside Chevrolet for a brake check. Generally, brake pads require replacement every 50,000 miles, but this can vary based on your driving habits and conditions.
- You should also have your brakes checked if you feel the vehicle pull to one side during braking or if the pedal feels unusually hard or soft to press when pressing the brakes, get the brakes checked.
- Seasonal brake checks are also wise, especially before and after severe weather periods, since extreme temperatures and road conditions can cause or exacerbate existing issues with your brakes.
All these symptoms can indicate uneven brake pad wear or a hydraulic issue. Any noticeable changes in the behavior of your braking system require immediate attention. At Countryside Chevrolet, our team advises vehicle owners to consider the environment and driving patterns they encounter regularly, as frequent stop-and-go traffic or mountainous driving conditions can accelerate wear on your brake system, necessitating more frequent service to ensure optimal safety and vehicle performance.
