When it comes to your vehicle, one of the most important safety features is your brakes. The more you drive your vehicle, the more you get used to the way it feels, sounds, and handles. If your vehicle starts making noises when you brake, if braking feels different than usual, or if the distance needed to stop or slow increases, you have a pretty good idea that there is a problem. Fortunately, if you live in Louisburg, Osawatomie, or Paola, you can get quality brake service at Victory Chevrolet GMC.

When you pick up on a problem with your brakes, the best thing you can do is to bring it in for a brake inspection so our expert technicians can do a thorough evaluation of your brakes to see what needs to be done to rectify the issue. Once the team knows where the problem lies, a technician will provide a written estimate with recommendations on how to proceed by explaining which problems are urgent for repairs.
What Kind of Brake Services are Offered?
Brake inspection: This will help figure out the problems like why your brake light is on or check the condition of your brakes as part of regular maintenance.
Pad Replacement: This service replaces your old worn-out pads with newer ones according to regular brake maintenance.
Rotor Service: This service looks at the condition of your rotors and if needed can smooth them out, so your brake pads have a smooth surface to grab onto, or if necessary, replace them if they are too worn or otherwise damaged.
Shoe Replacement: Same as pad replacement but for drum brakes.
Drum Service: Same as rotor service but for drum brakes.
Fluid Service: This covers brake fluid exchange to fluid leak repairs.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) service: This service corrects ABS sensors and repairs ABS computer modules.
Repairs: This service applies repairs to all parts and components of your brake system from the parking brake assembly to the power brake booster.
Signs You May Have Brake Problems
Dashboard lights or Warnings: Brake lights, ABS lights, or even check engine lights can be indicative of brake problems.
Brake fluid leaks: If there is a leak, get your brakes inspected.
Brake Response Issue: If it takes longer to stop or the stopping distance increases or if you must depress the pedal further down, these are signs of brake trouble.
Odd or unusual noises when you apply your brakes: If there is a new noise when you brake, like rattling, grinding, squeaking or squealing, check the rotors and pads. Hissing noises may mean a brake fluid leak.
Vibrating or shaking when braking: Rough stops can mean warped rotors.
Soft, spongy braking: May be a brake line or brake shoe issue.
Hard, stiff braking: May be caused by contaminates in the fluid, or it could be a bad seal on the brake booster or master cylinder.
Stalling or misfiring engine: May be a problem with brake booster.
Pulling to the side when applying brakes: Faulty hardware or brake components or uneven hydraulics can cause this problem.
