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.
