Chevrolet Traverse Brake Services

Brake System Maintenance & Services

The braking system needs to stay in peak performance for safety. The system is durable but requires some routine maintenance because components like brake pads are designed to wear down and must be replaced when they do to stay safe. Other components like brake fluid have weaknesses, such as water contamination and leaking. Staying safe while driving your Traverse will require routine brake inspections and maintenance services as detailed in the owner’s manual.

Brake Inspection

The Traverse needs routine brake inspections at major service intervals or now if you are experiencing audible noises when braking or the brakes require a greater distance to stop. Inspections are completed by an experienced technician that meticulously assesses braking parts, determining if and what maintenance should be completed to restore powerful braking and safety.

Brake Pad Replacement

Brake pads should be replaced when they are at .1 inch or 3mm thick. We offer efficient brake pad replacements if you need to replace the front, rear, or all brake pads. We install genuine OEM parts to complete service.

Brake Fluid Exchange

Brake fluid puts the hydraulic in your SUV’s hydraulic brake system and it should be inspected routinely and exchanged if it loses integrity via contamination or leaking. Service involves removing the fluid, bleeding the brake lines, inspecting the full braking system, and installing genuine OEM dot 3 brake fluid to the specified capacity.

Brake Rotor Resurfacing or Replacement

Brake rotors handle severe friction and heat and require routine inspections and maintenance when the disc face loses integrity because they should be as flat as possible. Resurfacing removes blemishes that reduce the surface area contacting the brake pads. If the rotors have deep grooves, cracks, or warping that cannot be resurfaced effectively, they will need to be replaced to restore braking integrity.
