Why Vehicle Brake Services Matter

Keeping your brakes in working order is the best way to ensure you feel confident in all scenarios. From highway road trips to daily treks around Waco, your brakes are essential to keeping you and your passengers safe. While you may not know when to have your brakes repaired, consulting with your service advisor or scheduling an inspection can help you avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Brake Services We Provide

Our team proudly repairs disc brake and drum brake systems on a wide range of vehicles near Temple. Whether you own a sporty Chevrolet Camaro sports car or a rugged Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD truck, our team has the tools, resources, and parts to provide care you can trust. Popular services include repairs or replacement for disc brake rotors and pads, drum brake linings and shoes, brake lines, bolts and brackets, brake fluid flushes, or brake bleeding.

Common Brake Care Intervals

Unlike oil changes or filter replacements, brake service intervals vary depending on traffic conditions, weather, and driving habits. Some reasons that your brakes may require shorter service intervals include stop-and-go commutes along I-35, towing trailers, off-roading, or hard braking. While annual brake inspections can help you plan for upcoming care, average intervals include:

  • Brake Fluid - Every 36 months or 36,000 miles
  • Disc Brake Pads - Between 20,000 to 25,000 miles
  • Disc Brake Rotors - Between 40,000 to 50,000 miles
  • Drum Brake Shoes - Between 40,000 to 50,000 miles

How to Tell When You Need New Brakes

Your Chevrolet vehicle can let you know if it's time to receive an inspection or have your brakes professionally repaired. Common symptoms and sounds that you may experience when driving around Georgetown include:

  • Metallic noises when stopping, including scratching, squealing, grinding, or whirring.
  • Squishy or spongey pedal feeling, or longer stopping distances than you anticipate.
  • Increased vibration, shaking, or knocking when brake pressure is applied.
  • Your steering wheel pulls to one side when pressing the brakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a complete brake service take?

Service time estimates vary by vehicle, with most front and rear brake repairs taking around 2 to 3 hours. Smaller services, like a brake fluid flush or brake bleed, can often be completed within an hour. Please contact our service center for additional details about estimated wait times.

How often do Chevrolet EVs require brake care?

Electric vehicles use regenerative braking, which charges the battery, slows the vehicle down when coasting, and reduces the need to use the brakes in most situations. Whether you own a Chevrolet Equinox EV, Chevrolet Blazer EV or Chevrolet Silverado EV, keeping up with annual inspections and brake fluid flush intervals can potentially help your brake pads last as long as 100,000 miles.

Do brake rotors and pads need to be replaced together?

Brake pads require a smooth rotor surface to ensure optimal stopping power, which is why rotors and pads are replaced at the same time. However, you may be able to have brake rotors resurfaced on a lathe, which shaves away pitting, grooves, and rust to create a clean contact area.

Why use GM Genuine Parts or ACDelco OE Parts?

All American Chevrolet of Killeen is proud to provide GM Genuine Parts and ACDelco OE (Original Equipment) components that meet factory standards for quality, performance, and safety.
