Did you know you can get your front brake pads and rear brake pads serviced separately? Questions often come in about the difference between the two if they can be serviced individually and why one needs to be replaced more than the other. The team of professional technicians and knowledgeable staff here at Libertyville Chevrolet is happy to answer all these questions.
Yes. And they will be. Your car uses the front brake pads far more often than it does the rear brake pads. For this reason, your front brake pads need far more attention than the rear. On any given day, your front brake pads can take up to as much as 70% of the pressure when using brakes compared to your rear pads.
Think about when you stop. Your car lurches forward, even just a little bit, no matter how unnoticeable it may be. That additional force causes your front brake pads to take a good chunk of the force.
There is no hard and fast timeframe for your brakes to be replaced because everyone drives differently. Some manufacturers recommend once every 25,000 miles, others up to 75,000 miles. If you have questions, consult your owners manual or come into Libertyville Chevrolet for our factory-trained technicians to take a look and provide you with a fast and accurate diagnosis of their health. It’s essential to have trained professionals work on your brakes to get the job done right, so you and other drivers on the road are safe.
The service center at Libertyville Chevrolet is happy to be a one-stop-shop for simple services like oil and filter changes to more complicated tasks like front brake pad replacements. There is a reason why drivers all around the Libertyville, IL area, prefer Libertyville Chevrolet for all their vehicle service and maintenance needs.
