Certified Brake Services at Mark Wahlberg Buick GMC
We offer certified brake system services at our service department dedicated to Buick GMC service excellence. We service all makes and models with expert knowledge of automotive brakes. Here is our brake service menu overview:
- Brake Inspection - The heart of brake system maintenance and service is routine brake inspections at major service intervals. You’ll notice that brake inspections are recommended at specific miles detailed in the owner’s manual. A brake inspection is a thorough assessment of all braking components to determine if other maintenance should be completed to contain risk and restore safe braking.
- Brake Fluid Exchange - Hydraulic brake fluid can get contaminated by moisture or leak from worn parts. It should be exchanged at the recommended miles or in response to integrity decline. This involves bleeding the fluid from the brake lines, inspecting the brake system thoroughly, and installing fresh dot 3 hydraulic brake fluid to specifications.
Learn More - Non-Routine Brake Component Repairs - We also provide repairs if necessary to non-routine maintenance brake components, such as calipers, lines, and master cylinder pumps. You can count on us to provide the repair or replacement service needed if any brake system component loses integrity.
- Brake Rotor Resurfacing or Replacement - Brake rotors are connected to the wheels and generate stopping resistance when the brake pads get clamped against them. The ideal rotor has a perfectly flat disc to create maximum resistance. Rotors need resurfacing or replacement service depending upon their condition. Minor wear can be removed with a resurfacing service. Excessive wear or warping requires a replacement service to restore specifications.
- Brake Pad Replacement - Brake pads are worn-out when they measure 3mm or .1 inch. Replacement service installs new brake pads to restore safe braking. This involves removing the old brake pads, inspecting the full braking system, and installing genuine OEM parts.

Brake System Maintenance Explained
The automotive braking system relies on hydraulic fluid and several other essential components to create the resistance at each wheel necessary to stop. Many of the braking components require routine maintenance and others might need to be repaired if they lose integrity. Be sure to follow the brake inspection and maintenance service recommendations detailed in the owner’s manual.
