GMC Service for Brake Safety Awareness Month

?
?Did you know that August is Brake Safety Awareness Month? Your brakes are vital for your safety, so this month serves as a reminder to keep yours working as they should. Our GMC service experts at Carroll Buick GMC have a few tips to help you get started.

Schedule Routine Maintenance

Routine brake service is one of the best ways to care for your brakes and ensure they work correctly. Typically, we’ll inspect your brakes at every oil change visit. Brake service also includes replacing your brake fluid and brake pads. We encourage you to check your owner’s manual to review your manufacturer’s recommendations.

Additional Brake Service

At times, you will also need to resurface your rotors and clean or adjust your brake parts. These needs will vary by vehicle (and your driving patterns and conditions). With routine inspections, you can be confident that your brakes are getting the services they need when they need them.

Inspect Your Brakes

Even with routine maintenance, keeping an eye on your vehicle is still important. If your brakes are acting funny, contact us right away. After all, you shouldn’t leave anything to chance when it comes to your safety.

These are a few signs that your brakes aren’t working correctly:

• You hear a squealing or screeching noise when braking
• Your tires grind when you stop
• Your car hesitates to stop
• Your brake pedal vibrates or feels spongy
• Your car vibrates or shakes when stopping
• Your brake fluid is leaking
