Brake Service
Chevy Brake Services Offered at Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet in Worthington, OH
Your brakes are a complicated system of individual components that must work in harmony to slow down your vehicle. Each part has its critical purpose within the system, from your brake pedal to the brake fluid to the brake pads and rotors. If just one of these has been compromised due to corrosion, or the buildup of debris, your brakes will lack performance and efficacy. This can create greater stopping distances, which can be a problem, especially when driving at high speeds. Avoid a potential collision by bringing your Chevy into Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet of Worthington for a brake system inspection and any necessary maintenance.

We offer the full range of brake services under one roof, so you don’t have to jump from one service shop to another to have services performed in a piecemeal fashion.
- Brake Inspection - Routine preventative maintenance is the key to a long-lasting braking system, as it can identify small issues which can be resolved quickly. This can prevent unnecessary damage to the components of your system and ensure that everything is working at optimal performance levels. We will check the brake calipers and lines, as well as the components listed below.
Learn More - Brake Pads - Your brake pads (front and rear), along with your brake rotors, slow down your vehicle by creating a large amount of friction. This will cause the brake pad to wear down over time and with normal use. When they have worn too thin to perform their intended purpose, we will need to replace them for you.

- Brake Rotors - Your brake rotors will also wear down due to the friction created between them and the brake pads. Unlike the brake pads, the brake rotors may be resurfaced if they have enough thickness remaining. If the minimum thickness is present, our service technicians will smooth the metallic surfaces. If, however, they are too thin, these will need to be replaced.
- Brake Fluid Exchange - When you step on the brake pedal, the hydraulic fluid known as the brake fluid flows to the rest of your system to trigger the braking response. It will pick up particulates over time and will itself deteriorate, requiring brake fluid exchange service periodically.
