GMC Service for Brake Safety Awareness Month

Summer’s drawing to a close, and no sooner will the tourists head home than we’ll be driving our kids back to school and gearing up for holiday traffic. That makes August a great time to schedule GMC service for Brake Safety Awareness Month. Lester Glenn Buick GMC covers the basics of this essential service. 

Understand Why Your Brakes Matter
Many vehicles advertise their power, capability, or fast acceleration times. However, your 60 to 0 time is more critical to your safety than your 0 to 60. It’s also worth remembering that no matter how advanced the safety features are in new Buick and GMC models, the brakes are still your car’s most important safety feature.

Know the Signs of Brake Trouble
Your owner’s manual lists suggested brake maintenance intervals, but your driving habits may mean a sooner visit. If you notice any warning signs, schedule an inspection and brake service immediately.

• Grinding noises when braking
• Squealing brakes as the vehicle stops
• A vibrating sensation as you brake
• Brakes requiring more effort or stopping distance
• The brake pedal feels different than usual

Brake System Service
When you visit for a brake inspection and maintenance, we start by inspecting the system for worn parts, leaks, and rusted or broken valves. Next, we’ll remove corrosion, replenish brake fluid, and check that other vital components are free of defects or issues.
