What is Included in Brake Service? Typical brake repair includes:
  • Brake pad replacement: This is probably the most common problem in brake service. Under normal driving conditions, brake pads should be replaced at fixed intervals. If you drive and brake faster than other drivers, you will likely need to replace your brake pads more often than usual. 
  • Line “bleeding”: If your brake fluid gets polluted or if it develops air bubbles, the line might need to be bled. Bleeding the brake lines will usually lower the amount of pressure required to use the brakes. If your brake pads and master cylinder are performing well, then bleeding is usually the next step to fix your brake issues. 
  • Line replacement: For your brakes to work the way you want them to, everything needs to stay lubricated. Brake lines deliver brake fluid to do this. If a hole or tear is created in the line, you need to bring your car in for brake repair as soon as possible. The more damage there is to the lines, the more difficult it is to bring your vehicle to a full stop…and the more dangerous driving becomes.
  • Every once in a while, the master cylinder, the part that regulates fluid pressure, may need replacing. If it does, we will find this during our brake inspection or while working on other brake issues, and we will be able to repair it for you.

    Determining the Time for Brake Repair or Replacement

    Sometimes, your vehicle’s brakes will alert you when there is trouble. Squealing noises, chirping sounds, and grinding are indications that brake repair is required. If the brakes on your car keep sticking, or they are producing a grinding or squeaking sound, it is important to visit us at Courtesy Buick GMC Lafayette for an inspection. 

    It might be as minor as a worn brake pad, or it might be something more serious. No matter what the source is, you owe it to yourself to get your brake issue looked at as fast as possible. Your safety may depend on it. 

    Our trained Buick, GMC brake service team will give your brake system a complete inspection to discover the source of the issue and let you know what work needs to be done to fix it.

      Brake Pad Warning Indicator

      Your vehicle’s brake pads may be equipped with a small, thin piece of metal to act as a warning indicator when the pad material is getting low and the brake pads should be replaced. This device makes a high-pitched sound on brake application, letting you know it’s time for brake service.

      Signs of Brake Rotor Wear

      Rotors – rotating discs that help slow or stop the vehicle when brake pads make contact – should also be regularly inspected. Some signs of wear may include:

      • Brake-pedal pulsation 
      • Squealing or grinding noise
      •  Low brake-pedal height
      •  Vehicle pulls to the left or right when brakes are applied 
      Stopping power is crucial to driving safely. When you think it may be time for brake service, ask your Certified Service experts at Courtesy Buick GMC Lafayette to recommend quality ACDelco Advantage, Professional, or GM Original Equipment replacement brakes pads, disc brake rotors, and other equipment.
