There are several key components to the brake system — let us briefly walk you through a few of them to help you better understand this integral safety feature on your Cadillac.
As a critical component of the brake system, the brake pads apply pressure and friction to the rotors, which ultimately stops the vehicle. You’ll notice your brake pads are starting to wear when it takes longer than usual to slow the vehicle down.
Cadillac of Calabasas uses genuine Cadillac brake pads in every replacement to ensure your brake system runs smoothly.
Brake calipers hold together the brake pads and pistons to ensure the wheels are slowed when you apply the brake pedal. A soft or squishy brake pedal is a common sign your calipers need to be replaced.
Let the Cadillac of Calabasas team inspect and replace the brake calipers on your Cadillac for expert advice and installation.
Brake fluid is an integral part of the brake system of your Cadillac. This hydraulic fluid helps create the momentum that’s necessary to bring your vehicle to a complete stop. If you notice your brakes aren’t as responsive or see a wet spot on your driveway near your brakes, the brake fluid may be low.
You can rely on the Cadillac of Calabasas service team to diagnose and inspect issues with the brake fluid — you’ll be back on the road in no time!
Luckily, there are many ways in which you can identify brake wear — you can hear and feel most of them when you apply the brakes, or you can see visible wear and tear when your vehicle is parked.
Common signs of brake wear include:
