Your car’s brakes work effectively to allow you to control your speed and stop when you need to. Time, environmental conditions, and wear and tear can damage your brakes. As your Chevrolet dealer, we want you to enjoy your time on the road in safety. These are a few signs that you could have brake trouble and it’s time to visit us for a brake repair.

Soft Brake Pedal

When you press down on the brake pedal, you’ll feel resistance from the brake fluid. This highly pressurized fluid allows your braking system to work effectively. The brake fluid forces the calipers to close against the wheel rotors as soon as you mash the brake pedal. The calipers contain brake pads that produce friction against the rotors and bring your car to a stop.

A soft brake pedal is a situation where the brake pedal supplies low resistance when you step on it. The lack of resistance can be caused by a blockage in the brake hoses, a brake fluid leak, or a mechanical issue. Regardless of the cause, a soft brake pedal makes applying the brakes slower and less effective. Our technicians will examine your braking system to find the cause of the problem and repair it.
