The Components of a Disc Brake System

There are many parts to a brake system and the team at our Chevy dealership is here to help you understand how your vehicle is able to stop. When we perform a brake inspection, we assess each working component, beginning with the hoses. The hoses bring fluid from the main brake line to the brake calipers. Each hose should be free of tears or holes to ensure that a leak does not occur.

We also inspect the brake calipers when performing brake service at our auto repair center. The brake calipers work to squeeze the brake pads against the brake rotors which enables your vehicle to stop. The brake pads, also known as the shoes of your brake system, squeeze the brake rotors to stop your wheels from spinning. The brake pads also connect with the brake rotors to apply pressure to slow down your luxury SUV, pickup truck or sedan.

Each one of the brake components has a task that ultimately makes your brakes work and gives you stopping power. When performing brake service, our team not only inspects each piece for high performance, but we also use only genuine OEM brake parts during brake repairs. Rest assured that our team inspects every working part, including the brake caliper pistons, master cylinder and engine components for friction material that has worn.

Common Symptoms for Brake Repairs

Brake inspections during routine maintenance help to ward off any problems with your system; however, there are signs that drivers notice that begs the need for brake service. The most common symptom that you need brake repair is a squealing or screeching sound when you depress the brake pedal. This could indicate worn pads or a problem with your brakes as a whole.

Additional signs that you need brake service include a need to add more pressure to the pedal when trying to stop, vibrating on the steering wheel when you try to stop or reach high speeds and a grinding noise when you are braking. If you notice one or more signs, it’s important to schedule brake service right away at our auto repair center.

A Timeline for Brake Service

The need for brake service or brake replacements may vary based on your make or model. When you stop in for routine maintenance, our team of certified technicians will thoroughly inspect your system to ward off expensive auto repairs. On average, your front brakes will need replacing sooner than your rear brakes due to wear and tear. You can expect to replace brakes between 30,000 to 60,000 miles.

It may also be necessary to stop in for a fluid flush. Your brake fluid is an important part of the system because it provides lubrication to all working parts. Depending upon your driving habits and road conditions, our team may recommend a brake fluid flush to ensure lubrication is on target.

Brake pads will wear down, as well as the brake rotors. Rotors are typically replaced two at a time to ensure even performance. On average, brake rotors are replaced by 70,000 miles, but in some cases, you may find that the brake rotors wear out sooner. Check with our team to learn more about how the auto parts associated with your brake system are wearing down so you’re prepared for brake replacements or brake service on your brake pads, brake calipers or brake rotors.
