Brake Services:
- Brake Fluid Exchange - Brake fluid transfers and amplifies the force of your foot on the brakes to the calipers; as a hygroscopic fluid, it will absorb moisture and eventually need to be replaced as it becomes less effective.
Learn More - Brake Pad Replacement - The brake pads consist of a metal backing and a softer brake lining that is designed to wear down; when this lining gets thin, it's time to have your brake pads replaced.

- Rotor Resurfacing or Replacement - The brake rotors may become glazed or warped well before they wear out; we can resurface the rotors, smoothing their surface to help you avoid paying for entirely new parts before it's necessary.
- Caliper Service - The brake calipers squeeze together to push the brake pads against the brake rotors, and they will regularly need to be cleaned, lubricated, and inspected to ensure that they are providing the necessary precision.
GMC Cadillac Brake System Maintenance & Repair
GMC and Cadillac models have hydraulic brake systems that generate extreme friction to resist forward momentum. The brake pedal triggers the master cylinder to pressurize the hydraulic fluid and extend caliper pistons, pressing high-friction brake pads into rotors attached to the wheels. The brake system needs maintenance for peak performance, and as-needed repairs become increasingly likely with higher miles. Standard maintenance includes fluid exchange, pad replacement, and rotor resurfacing. A brake system inspection/diagnosis guides whether other brake components need attention, such as calipers, lines, hoses, etc. Contact us as soon as possible for a brake system inspection in response to taking longer to stop, pulling to one side when braking, strange brake pedal feeling, leaking fluid, dashboard brake indicator, or metallic noise from near the wheels.
