During a typical day of driving through Simi Valley, you'll need to bring your vehicle to a stop dozens of times. Without good brakes, driving your vehicle would be both difficult and dangerous.
At Bunnin Chevrolet of Santa Paula, we wish to explain why it's important to bring your Chevrolet Colorado into a GM-certified service department to ensure your brakes perform as they should outside Ventura.
Sometimes, your vehicle's brakes will alert you when there is trouble. Squealing noises, chirping sounds, and grinding are indications that brake repair is required.
When it comes to brake service, it's important to have your brakes taken care of before they completely fail. That means you'll need to know what signs to look for that could point to potential brake trouble.
If you hear squeaking or squealing when you bring your vehicle to a stop, you'll want to immediately stop by our local, Oxnard-area service center. These sounds indicate brake pads are worn to levels incapable of effecting safe operation.
When you press the brake pedal, a chain reaction starts with the caliper clamping against the rotor, creating friction and stopping your vehicle in the process.
Brake pads are located within the calipers and help reduce heat transfer. During most brake servicing appointments, only pads will need to be replaced.
However, if you wait too long for brake servicing, other parts will be duly affected - comprising a cascade of disrepair, if not danger.
Other than listening for unusual noises coming from your brakes, there's another way you can participate in brake care.
By regularly checking brake fluid levels, you can make sure there aren't any unseen problems as with a brake pedal unresponsive.
