ESSENTIAL GMC SERVICE FOR BRAKE SAFETY AWARENESS MONTH

August is Brake Safety Awareness Month, which means scheduling essential GMC service for your brakes. This is the perfect time to check your brakes for any signs of wear or critical malfunctions. Before it’s too late, get these essential brake services done at Brown and Wood Buick GMC.

ESSENTIAL BRAKE SERVICES

When you bring your GMC vehicle in for service, you’ll want to examine the brakes if you’ve noticed any issues. Even if our service technicians don’t find any specific problems, there are critical maintenance tasks that should be performed routinely.

Brake fluid, for instance, should be flushed and replaced every 25,000 miles. You will also want to inspect the brake pads annually and replace them if they are worn down.

SIGNS OF MALFUNCTIONING BRAKES

An experienced driver knows to look for signs that their brakes aren’t working. These symptoms include:

• Noisy brakes. Squeaking, scraping, or jostling sounds when you brake indicates a malfunctioning part. This should be addressed immediately.
• Worse brake performance. You might notice that your brakes require more pressure to start braking. This indicates that your brake system needs a replacement part or fine-tuning.
• Vehicle pulling to the side when braking. If your GMC vehicle pulls to one side when you brake, it indicates that a part isn’t aligned correctly.
• Brake warning light. A brake warning light on your dashboard can indicate multiple different issues. If this light comes on, bring your vehicle to our dealership immediately.
