Front Brake Pad Replacement Service

Your vehicle’s front brake pads are responsible for giving your vehicle stopping power. Over time, your vehicle’s front brake pads will wear down. This will reduce their ability to stop your vehicle. That’s why it is recommended that you have your vehicle’s front brake pads replaced at every 40,000 to 50,000 miles. Delaying this service can make it harder for your vehicle to stop when you need to most. Our service center is staffed by GMC-trained technicians who have worked on hundreds of brake pad replacement services. Plus, we only use OEM Buick GMC brake pads to ensure that your vehicle receives the best possible performance.
