Regular brake service is an essential part of your Cadillac’s maintenance program. Your brakes allow you to control and vary your speed and to stop precisely when you need to. If your brakes aren’t regularly checked, they will respond slowly or could even fail. As your Cadillac dealer, your safety is very important to us. We’d like you to know some of the reasons why a routine service with us is important.
Braking Will Be Quiet Again
Your Cadillac’s braking system is designed to operate silently and efficiently. When you’re driving you need to focus on the road ahead without unnecessary distractions. If your brakes are worn or damaged, you could hear screeching, squealing, or even grinding noises. Strange noises from the brakes are automatically a sign that something is wrong.
Grinding noises could mean that a stone or other object is jammed in one of the brake calipers. Squealing noises suggest rusted components rubbing against each other. A screeching sound usually means your brake pads are worn. When our technicians service your brakes, they check and repair or replace any worn parts so your brakes will work quietly again.
Driving Is Safer
If your brakes are regularly serviced, you know that they’re in perfect working condition. We’re experts on Cadillac repairs and maintenance, and our technicians examine your entire braking system to ensure it’s working correctly. A well-maintained braking system will respond quickly exactly when you need it to.
In contrast, worn or damaged brakes make driving dangerous. If you’re not sure how quickly your brakes will apply when you stop on the pedal, there’s a problem. Any delay in your brakes activating can be enough to turn a near miss into a collision. Worn brakes put you, your passengers, and other drivers at risk.
You Save Money
It’s easier and cheaper to repair a small issue and prevent expensive future repairs. Brake pads, for example, will gradually wear out. When the pads have worn down, your braking system takes longer to engage. The worn pads also put additional stress on the calipers, brake hoses, rotors, and other braking components. Replacing the pads timeously prevents wear or damage from happening.
Servicing your brakes allows our technicians to examine your braking system. They can easily identify any potential problems, and we can advise you and fix the issue before it becomes a problem. Repairing the issue while your car is in our service department also saves you time.
These are just a few of the many reasons to have a regular service for your brakes. Call our service department today at Earnhardt Cadillac to book your service.
