If you’ve noticed a spongy brake, excessive vibrating when slowing down, or loud squealing noises from your vehicle, you may need brake service. These signs are just some of the most common indicators that your vehicle needs care, and our Step One Chevrolet experts will be happy to take on the task of providing that care. Our technicians can evaluate your vehicle and determine if you could use a brake fluid change, have brake caliper damage, need new brake rotors, or require some other service.
When it’s time for Chevrolet brake service, your vehicle will typically let you know. You’ll likely spot a few signs over several weeks:
In addition to all these signs, you may also spot a brake service warning indicator coming to life on your dashboard. As with many other lights, this light is often pre-programmed to turn on after a certain number of miles traveled to encourage you to get preventative maintenance. However, sometimes it serves as a warning of something actively amiss.
The rule of thumb for brake service is simple: the sooner, the better. Letting your braking system continue to worsen can put you, your passengers, and other people on the road at risk. Going in for regular car inspections is also useful for spotting other brewing problems, such as if it might be time for battery replacement.

Brake pads for any vehicle will likely need replacement every 30,000 to 60,000 miles or if you notice any signs of wear and tear. However, you should consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for a more specific time frame. Signs to be alert for include grinding, excessive vibrating when slowing down, and squeaking or squealing when the braking system gets engaged.
Typically, routine care and replacement parts are not services covered under your vehicle’s warranty. New Chevy vehicles can receive a complimentary oil change within their first twelve months.1 However, brake pads do not often need to be replaced during this time window. That being said, you can ask our team members about service specials to help you save on regular maintenance costs.
Your vehicle’s braking system may require bleeding if you notice the brake pedal is soft and other brake service doesn’t resolve the issue. This procedure aids in the removal of air bubbles from the hydraulic braking system in an attempt to make the system more responsive and help you stay safe on the road. Call or visit our service center for more details on this type of advanced care.
