Brake Repairs at Ourisman Chevrolet Buick GMC of Alexandria
Without functional brakes, you're putting your safety at risk. You can get regular brake inspections at Ourisman Chevrolet Buick GMC of Alexandria. Some seasoned technicians will examine your braking system and conclude when it's time for fresh brake pads and rotors. If you have brakes that squeak, grind, or screech, you need to schedule an emergency replacement at our Alexandria facility.
Why Are Brake Inspections So Crucial?
Whenever you're approaching a stop sign or a stoplight, you apply the brakes. In one simple motion, you bring your vehicle to a stationary position. If you don't slow down fast enough, you'll risk a fender bender. For worry-free travels, you need to schedule regular brake inspections. Every time that you visit our service center, we will inspect the wear on the brakes and determine if you need a replacement.
ÂHow Often Do I Need Brakes Replacements?
The average lifespan of brake pads is between 25,000 to 50,000 miles. The timeframe depends on how aggressively you apply your brakes. Here at Ourisman Chevrolet Buick GMC of Alexandria, we sell genuine brake accessories. We have experts to install them on your car, truck, or SUV. Clear signs of needing a brake replacement include a vibrating brake pedal and the following sounds: screeching, squealing, or grinding.
Hearing a Squeak?
When you press on your brake pedal, does it sound like your vehicle is protesting? Many GM brake systems are designed with a special piece of metal located under the brake pad. When your brake pads are wearing through and needing to be replaced, you'll hear a squeak, or the sound of the metal being pushed, when you stop your vehicle.
But not all squeaks and noises your vehicle makes are indicators of a maintenance issue, either. The best to be sure is to visit a GM certified technician.
The experts in a professional GM service center are your best choice for brake inspections, because we know GM engineering better than general mechanics. We'll do a quick inspection, determine if your brakes need attention, and then perform all repair and replacement jobs quickly and efficiently.
Plus, we promise to only use genuine parts that were designed for your specific GM model. We only work with authentic manufacturer parts, so you know you're always getting the perfect fit when you service with us.
