Automotive Braking & Brake Pad Maintenance
The automotive braking system is hydraulic. When you push the brake pedal, that force is amplified by the master cylinder pump and sent through hydraulic brake fluid that delivers the energy to the calipers that press brake pads against rotors to create the resistance necessary to stop. Brake pads are a metallic composite that wears away as brake dust. When brake pads are at 3mm or 1/8 inch thick, they should be replaced.
Schedule ServiceHow will I Know When Brake Pad Replacement is Needed?
Newer models equipped with brake pad monitoring have a dashboard warning light signaling when brake pads should be replaced. Older models will make an eardrum-piercing screech when it’s time to replace brake pads. We can assist with any uncertainties regarding brake pad maintenance with a quick brake inspection.
Overview of Brake Pad Replacement Service
Brake pad replacement service begins with a skilled technician in our Buick GMC certified service department. The old brake pads are removed, and the full braking system will be inspected to ensure it will support the new pads in creating maximum resistance at factory specifications. We then install the highest quality genuine OEM brake pads and verify powerful braking with a driving test to conclude the service.
Why Should I Get Brake Pad Replacement Service Now?
Replacing brake pads is recommended when only a few millimeters of thickness remains. A few millimeters is the only thing separating the steel brake pad shoe from striking the rotor and causing damage. Not only are worn brake pads going to cause damage, but they cannot generate the resistance needed to stop properly. The ultimate consequences of neglecting brake pads include severe damage, defective braking, and increased risk of a collision.
