Brake Services at Jim Taylor Chevrolet

To keep our customers safe every time they get behind the wheel, we offer the following brake system services:

Brake Pad Replacement

Brake pad replacement is the most common brake system service. Generally, your brake pads need to be replaced every 25,000 to 65,000 miles. Due to advancements in materials and technology, some brake pads may last as long as 80,000 miles.

Brake Rotor Resurfacing

Brake rotor resurfacing is a less common service but is just as important. Your brake rotors can become warped, causing vibration or pulsations in your brake pedal, or a shaking steering wheel.

Brake Caliper Service

Our brake caliper service includes cleaning and lubricating the slide pins in your brake caliper and clearing away the sticky residue that can build up in the housing unit of your brake pads. This service also includes checking the calipers to ensure that they are functioning properly and able to move freely.

Brake Fluid Flush

It’s recommended that drivers replace their brake fluid every two to three years or every 30,000 miles.

Signs You Need Brake Services

If you’re not sure if it’s time for brake services yet, below are a few of the tell-tale signs.

• Odd Noises: If you hear grinding or squealing noises, this usually indicates that it’s time for a brake pad replacement.
• Vibrating Brake Pedal:This is the most common sign of warped brake rotors
• Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal: You should feel a small but firm amount of resistance whenever you press your brake pedal.
• Pulling to One Side: When you apply your brakes, and your vehicle pulls to one side, it is usually due to uneven wear on your brake pads. They may need to be replaced and adjusted.
• Brake Fluid Leak: If you notice any brake fluid leaking from your vehicle, do not attempt to drive. Instead, book an appointment and have your vehicle towed to our service center.

Don't overlook brake system warning signs – your safety and that of others depends on it. If you spot any issues, schedule a service appointment at Jim Taylor Chevrolet.
