You’re driving along when another car suddenly appears out of nowhere and pulls in front of you. You slam on your brakes and narrowly miss a collision. If your brakes don’t operate the way they should, it could spell disaster. If you live around Fayette, Ferriday, or Vidalia, you can get brake service with the Service Center at Natchez Chevrolet GMC.

What Is Brake Service?

When you come to the Service Center for brake service, our technicians will inspect the brake pads and rotors, looking for wear. If the brakes are worn, we’ll recommend that you replace the pads and/or rotors. Our team will provide a written estimate and let you know how much wear you have left. This information will tell you if you need to schedule an appointment right away or in a few weeks.

Our technicians will inspect the brake lines, hoses, and other parts of the system, looking for leaks, severe wear, or damage. You can also schedule a brake fluid flush, which drains the brake fluid and flushes out the system to remove any grime and dirt. Regular service can prevent brake problems down the road and keep your brakes functioning as they should.

Signs Your Vehicle Needs Brake Service

Your brakes may show signs that they need to be repaired or replaced.

• Strange sounds: You may hear squealing or grinding sounds when you apply pressure to the brakes. Squealing indicates wear on the brake pads while grinding is more likely the rotors.
• Stiff or spongy brakes: If your brakes feel different than normal, either softer and spongier or stiffer and harder to press down, it indicates wear.
• Longer stopping time/distance: if it takes longer for the vehicle to come to a stop, it may mean that the brake pads are too worn to grip the rotors.
• Vibrations when stopping: If your vehicle vibrates when you press the brake pedal, it often means that the rotors are warped.
• Dashboard light: If the BRAKE or ABS light stays on, it indicates a problem with your brake system.

You may feel the vehicle pull to one side when you attempt to stop or see a leak from brake fluid. If you notice any difference in your brakes or how your vehicle stops, you can bring it to Natchez Chevrolet GMC to have a brake inspection.
