Have Questions About Brake Service in Lebanon, TN?

BRAKE SERVICE FAQ

One major sign you will notice about bad brakes is vibrating. If you have come to a halt at a stop sign or red light and experience vibration, then you may need to get your brakes examined. The vibration is a good indication that the rotors have become warped. Rotors can warp easily if constantly slam on the brakes, if the rotors get overheated, or simply over a long period of time. If you notice vibrations, then let one of our technicians inspect the rotors on your brakes as soon as possible.

While vibrating while stopped is a major sign that your brakes need attention, there are a few more signs to listen out for. If you hear squeaking, squealing, or screeching sounds, then the brake pads are most likely wearing thin. Other signs include a sluggish feeling on the brakes when you step on the pedal or the brake warning light in your vehicle comes on. If you ignore these signs and put off scheduling service, then it could lead to further damage to your vehicle that will end up costing you more.

When you continue to drive with brake pads that are worn out, you risk your vehicle's potential to come to a complete stop the next time you apply the brakes. You can also exasperate the damage to bad brakes when you decide to still drive with a poor braking system.

It is a good rule of thumb to have your brake pads inspected every 10,000 and 20,000 miles. You should also take your vehicle to Wilson County Chevrolet Buick GMC to replace the rotors between every 50,000 and 70,000 miles. These numbers of course depend on how old your current brakes are, your driving habits, and the model of your vehicle.
