Chevrolet Brake Services San Antonio

How do I know if I need Brake Service?

Two ways to determine when Brake Services are needed are distinctive changes in the performance of your vehicle or a diagnosis from your local technician or mechanic. Some common indicators are…

• Shaky steering wheel
• Flashing brake warning light
• Grinding or squealing noises
• Increased stopping distance

Components of your Vehicle’s Brake System

There are many different parts of your vehicle’s brake system that work together to ensure your vehicle slows down and stops properly. The brake system consists of…

• Brake Pads
• Brake Caliper
• Rotor
• Brake Fluid

Brake Pads are contained in the Brake Caliper which is hydraulically clamped down onto the Rotor causing friction to slow/stop the vehicle. The Brake Fluid is used as hydraulic fluid to transfer force into pressure, and to amplify braking force.
