Disc brakes are by far the most common types of front brakes on modern passenger vehicles, and the brake pads are part of the disc brake system. When you step on the brake pedal, calipers press the brake pads against the rotors, also known as discs. This brings your Chevy to a nice, slow stop. The brake pads are made of two main components: a metal backing and a lining made from material designed to wear down, preventing friction damage. When the brake pad lining begins to wear thin, it’s a good idea to have your front brake pads replaced.
Brake pads will wear down at different rates. Even if two people drive the same vehicle and use the same brake pads, one pair might get thousands of miles more use than the other. This is due to several factors, but braking habits are a large part of this. Since the mileage can vary so drastically, the best way to know when you need front brake pad replacement is to bring your Chevy to our service center for regular brake inspections.
When it comes to keeping yourself and your family safe, it’s always best to go with the highest quality available, and that’s what we offer at Stephen Wade Chevrolet. The factory certified technicians who staff our service center will use only OEM GM brake pads. Unlike aftermarket brake pads, which range wildly in quality, these brake pads are guaranteed to meet the high safety standards set forth by General Motors. While you’re here, enjoy our comfortable waiting area, which is filled with amenities like complimentary snacks, business workstations, and a children’s play area. Or, take advantage of our courtesy transportation shuttle.
