Do You Need a Brake Repair? Ask a Chevy Dealer

Your brakes are one of the most important parts of your Chevy when it comes to safety. So, what signals should you look for to see if your brakes are in good working order? Let's talk about when you should call your Chevy dealer for brake repair.

Your Brake Light Has Turned On

This is a dead sign that things aren't quite right. The lights on your Chevy's dashboard are there for a reason, so pay attention when one starts flashing. Even if you don't notice any vibrations or other common warning indications while you stop, you should consider scheduling a brake maintenance appointment.

The brake light, which is normally yellow or red and features an exclamation point in a circle, is easy to spot. It's also possible that the word "brake" is written beneath the symbol.

Unusual Noises Have Been Heard

Unless you're a good technician, you're unlikely to be able to detect a new sound and pinpoint the source of the problem. And that's fine! The most important thing is to recognise that you're hearing a peculiar sound, especially when you brake, and that you should have it checked out by a specialist.

 

When you use the brakes, you may hear grading or speaking noises, which indicate that the brakes need to be serviced. If you're not sure what you're hearing, turn the radio or music down for a few minutes to hear the strange sound more clearly.

 

Vibrations in the steering wheel

 

Even if your music is screaming, you'll notice that your steering wheel is starting to vibrate. You might notice the wheel pulling to one side or the other when you apply the brake pedal if it isn't vibrating. Problems with your braking calipers or pistons may cause this type of steering wheel interface.

A Pedal with a Soft Brake

Given how frequently you have to stop and go in your Chevy, you probably have a decent feel for the brake pedal. In other words, how soft or hard you must push to have an equitable braking experience. If your brakes need to be serviced, you'll notice that the brake pedal has become soft.

The feel of a soft brake pedal is similar to that of a sponge. This is hardly the type of pedal response you'd expect from a set of well-functioning brakes. It's time to book an appointment if you're having a soft brake pedal.

If you're experiencing any of the warning signals indicated above, you should make an appointment as soon as possible. Brake difficulties are a serious safety issue that should be addressed as soon as feasible. Fortunately, the brakespecialists at Davis Chevrolet can assist you.
