When To Get Your Buick LaCrosse Brakes Checked

It’s best to get a brake check before your Buick LaCrosse shows signs of brake troubles. We make it easy by providing free brake checks to all of our customers so that we can help stop problems before they start. You can ask for a free brake check at any time. Schedule one on its own or request a brake check during a regular service, like an oil change. However, if routine car care has slipped your mind for quite some time, you might want to pay attention and watch for the following brake issues.

Symptoms of bad brakes include unusual sounds, vibration or pulsation in the pedal or steering wheel, a burnt smell coming from the tires, a “lit” dashboard brake signal, or a sensation that things aren't like they used to be. You know your Buick LaCrosse better than anyone else. A free brake check can help keep your system performing well. Generally speaking, automakers like Buick suggest that at a minimum, front and rear brakes are removed and serviced at least once every 12 months or 12,000 miles. That also includes checking the e-brake. Brake service and/or repair should be performed as necessary. Not sure if something’s wrong? Stop by your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a quick brake inspection. All of our 1,700+ locations offer free brake checks seven days a week. Our technicians will inspect your 2019 Buick LaCrosse brakes, brake fluid level, and more! Preventative brake care can help keep you safe on the road.

Replacing Your Buick LaCrosse’s Brake Pads

How often do 2019 Buick LaCrosse brake pads need to be replaced? It largely depends on where and how you drive. In general, brake pads last from 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Factors like frequent highway driving and smooth braking can help your brake pads last longer. Alternatively, riding the brakes and hauling heavy loads can shorten their useful life. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your LaCrosse. Not all brake pads are created equally. Some materials last longer. Thankfully, when you get Buick LaCrosse brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. Brake checks and brake pad replacements are pretty common for us, and we only use brake parts that meet or exceed Buick's standards.

Brake Repair for Buick LaCrosse

Your Buick LaCrosse may be powered by a strong engine. One that can outlast the 170,000-mile mark. But if you can’t stop it, it’s as good as scrap metal. If you’re experiencing squeaky brakes or a loss of braking power, don’t wait! Safe driving is difficult when your brakes are anything but their best. What's more, waiting for things to figure themselves out can result in more damage to your brakes and your wallet. For example, rotors start to warp and become damaged when completely worn brake pads exceed their lifespan, shortening the life of healthy parts due to the metal on metal grinding that occurs. We can help you steer clear of further brake damage. Go to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for 2019 Buick LaCrosse brake repairs. We offer a variety of brake services like pad/shoe replacement, brake rotor/drum machining, brake fluid exchange, and wheel cylinder and brake caliper installation.

Questions About Your Buick LaCrosse Brakes

  • What is causing my LaCrosse to shake when I brake? Your LaCrosse could shake when you brake due to worn brake pads or rotors, warped rotors, loose or worn suspension components, or faulty brake calipers. You can always schedule a free brake inspection at the first sign of strange brake behavior.
  • How many brake pads does my LaCrosse come with? It’s common for vehicles to have four brake pads per axle — two on each front wheel and two on each back wheel. Since the front wheels tend to put in more work when bringing your LaCrosse to a stop, the front brake pads usually wear out sooner than the rear ones.
  • How long can I expect my LaCrosse brake pads to last? You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your LaCrosse can affect this. Hauling large loads or riding your brakes can shorten their lifespan, while smoothly braking and mostly sticking to highways can help your brake pads last longer.
  • Should my LaCrosse be leaking brake fluid when the car is off? Your LaCrosse brake system is a closed hydraulic system, so a brake fluid leak likely means you have an issue in your brake system. Over time, brake components can wear out or get damaged, causing a brake fluid leak.
  • Where can I go for LaCrosse brake repair near me? When you experience brake issues, book an appointment for a free brake inspection at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We offer inspections and repairs for LaCrosse brakes, and you might not even have to come to our store! Our Firestone Direct mobile brake mechanics may be able to come to you for your brake service.
