FAQs
How often should I flush my brake fluids?
Unless your Cadillac's maintenance manual gives a different timeline, brake fluid should be flushed every 2-3 years.
Why are my brakes squeaking?
Brake pads have wear indicators to let you know when they need replacing. These indicators create a squeaking noise when they need maintenance.
How often should brakes be serviced?
It's typically recommended to have your brakes serviced every 7,000-10,000 miles. Coastal conditions can cause increased wear, so for Seaside residents, the earlier timeline is recommended.
Is brake service a necessity?
Yes. Regular brake service keeps your car stopping properly and ensures the continued safety of you and your family.
Can I check my brake fluid myself?
While it's simple to check brake fluid levels, a full professional inspection can reveal things about fluid quality that a simple level check cannot.
Why is my brake service light on?
Your brake service light comes on to indicate a problem with the system. It could be low fluid, worn pads, or some other issue.
What are the different components of the brake system?
The main components of a modern brake system include brake pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines, brake fluid, and the master cylinder.
How long will a brake service take?
While it depends on the amount of work required, a typical brake service will take around 30 minutes to an hour.
Can I leave my car at Seaside Cadillac, or should I stay at your location?
Yes. We're happy to look after your car while it awaits its servicing, so you can go about your day. Of course, you can also wait in our comfortable customer lounge.
Is brake service covered under warranty or insurance?
This depends on the specific terms of your warranty or insurance and on the reasons service is needed. Our service advisors can evaluate your coverage and explain any applicable benefits.
How much does a brake service cost on average?
Brake service pricing varies widely based on your vehicle's needs and the components required. When you bring your car in, we'll provide a transparent estimate before beginning work.

BRAKE FAQs
You should have your brakes serviced or inspected at least every 7,500 miles. It’s important to keep in mind that brake components wear out at different intervals and under different driving conditions. So, if you notice noises such as squealing, chirping and grinding, as well as pedal pulsations, come in for service.
Brake calipers, brake pads, brake rotors, brake shoes and brake hoses will all need to be repaired or replaced at some point as part of regular brake service and maintenance during the normal lifespan of a vehicle.
No. If there are no conditions such as pedal pulsation or steering-wheel vibration during braking, and the brake rotor is at least 1 mm thicker than the discard thickness, then it does not need to be turned or replaced.
