Worn or damaged brakes are dangerous, as they make it difficult to control your Chevy’s speed and stop whenever you want to. As your trusted Chevy dealership in Thurmont, MD, we can fix any possible brake issue. We’d like you to know some signs you need to visit us for a brake service.

Chevy Brake Inspection

Damaged Brake Vacuum Booster

Before the mid-1970s, applying the brakes meant using a significant amount of effort. Since then, brake vacuum boosters have been installed in every vehicle to make braking easier. The booster is connected to your brake pedal, and it uses a vacuum system to magnify the force you use on the pedal by 10x. The braking system responds faster, and you won’t get leg strain.

If you press down on the pedal and it barely moves, there’s a problem with the booster. Inside the booster is a rubber bladder that helps produce the vacuum. Over time, the bladder can leak, and without the vacuum, this system won’t work. The vacuum can also be lost due to worn seals or gaskets that allow air to enter. We’ll examine the booster and repair or replace it to fix this problem.
