Details About Your Brake Service

One of the most important systems on your GMC or Buick vehicle is the brakes. Without brakes in proper condition, it can be difficult to get stopped while you're in Wilmington, NC, which could result in an accident.

Determining the Time for Brake Repair or Replacement

If you regularly drive your GMC or Buick, you should try to change your brake pads every 10,000 to 20,000 miles to keep them from getting too low. Your rotors can usually last a little longer, especially if you maintain your brake pads to don't begin to wear against the rotors. Rotors should be turned or replaced every 50,000 to 70,000 miles in most GMC and Buick vehicles.

How to Know Your Brakes Need Service

Fortunately, there are a few signs that you'll usually notice if there is an issue with your brakes. One of the first signs is squealing or grinding from the brake pads. This usually means that there is little to no pad left and that you should get them replaced before they begin grinding against the rotors.

You might notice a vibration when you press the brake pedal while driving in Wilmington. This could indicate that your rotors are warped and need to be replaced instead of turned. Other signs that you could need brake service include seeing the brake light illuminated on your dashboard, taking a long time to come to a stop, and your brake pads appearing as though they are too thin.

Why Should Only Certified Technicians Perform Service?

A certified technician at Bob King Buick GMC understands your GMC or Buick. They know about the tools that should be used on your brakes, how to change the pads, and how to address issues with the rotors. They also know what to look for that you might not be aware of when you're driving. You can visit our on-site service department to take care of your vehicle.

Why Use Genuine Parts?

One of the reasons why you should use genuine parts for your brakes is because they often come with a warranty. They are also in the best condition possible and designed for your vehicle.
