We are pleased to have put together the following information that we hope may be useful in helping our clients in the Baltimore and surrounding Baltimore County area understand how brakes work.

Chevrolet Anti-Lock Brake System

The ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) on a Chevrolet serves the purpose of ensuring the wheels do not cease rotation when braking, thus preventing the Chevrolet from skidding and providing optimal control. When the ABS light appears on the dashboard of your Chevrolet, bring it to our brake shop in Baltimore and let a team member from A1 Auto 3 Brothers Car Repair inspect and diagnose the problem.

Chevrolet Brake Fluid Flushes

The brake system in a Chevrolet is no different than any other car, truck or SUV found driving around the Baltimore community. Over time, brake fluid will absorb atmospheric moisture (water) that will result in the brakes on your Chevrolet being less effective, not to mention the fluid possibly becoming corrosive enough to result in possible damage to the entire braking system. A1 Auto 3 Brothers Car Repair recommends that all of our clients driving a Chevrolet schedule a regular brake fluid flush to keep the system working as it was designed to operate.

Chevrolet Brake Hoses

Brake hoses on a Chevrolet are pressurized tubes that transport brake fluid to the brakes from the master cylinder. When damaged, a brake hose will result in a brake that is lagged or slow, and a leaking hose can result in a brake, or an entire braking system, failing. Although not needing replacement often, the brake hoses on a Chevrolet should be replaced at our shop in Baltimore at the first sign of wear or cracking.

Chevrolet Brake Pad & Shoe Replacement

Squealing brakes are a definite sign of a brake problem on a Chevrolet. When completely deteriorated, the brake pads will result in a metal-on-metal grinding sound when stopping. This is an indication that the rotors or drums are being damaged. When this happens, bring your Chevrolet brought to our auto repair shop in A1 Auto 3 Brothers Car Repair right for repair.

Chevrolet Caliper Replacement

Brake calipers in a Chevrolet serve to house the brake pads and fit like a clamp around the rotor, pressing the pads to the rotor upon braking. When experiencing a problem with a brake caliper, a Chevrolet may slide forward due to braking that is uneven. This is a situation that could result in the Chevrolet slidding out of control on the road when it is raining in Baltimore, so it is best to contact A1 Auto 3 Brothers Car Repair as quickly as possible.

Chevrolet Resurface Rotors

In a Chevrolet with a disc braking system, the rotors are affixed to the wheels of the vehicle. When gripping the rotor, brake pads bring both the wheels and rotors to a stop. But, this friction results in cracks and grooves appearing over a period of time. Having the rotor(s) resurfaced by A1 Auto 3 Brothers Car Repair can return them to a "like-new" condition that reduces wobbling and squealing. A1 Auto 3 Brothers Car Repair will inspect the rotors thoroughly and suggest the best course of action to be taken.
