How Often Do Your Cadillac Escalade EXT Brakes Need Service

Getting your 2008 Escalade EXT’s brakes checked before trouble starts is a good idea. There's no need to wait for a problem. We offer free brake inspections as a benefit to all of our customers so that we can help prevent problems from starting in the first place. You can request a free brake inspection at any time or during another service, like a tire repair or an oil change. If you've been putting off regular car care, though, keep the following brake symptoms in mind.

Signs of brake problems include weird noises, a vibrating pedal or steering wheel, a burnt smell coming from the tires, a “lit” dashboard brake signal, or the feeling that something is "off." You know your Cadillac Escalade EXT like the back of your hand. Turn to our technicians to help keep your brakes at peak performance! Vehicle manufacturers like Cadillac generally recommend that rear and front brakes are removed and serviced at least once every 12,000 miles or 12 months. That includes inspecting the parking brake. Brake service and/or repair should be performed as necessary. When in doubt, visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for a quick inspection. Most of our locations are open seven days a week and in the evening for free brake checks. Our ASE Certified technicians will gladly inspect your  2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT brakes. Properly maintaining your brake system is so important.

Cadillac Escalade EXT Brake Pad Replacement

How often should you change your 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT’s brake pads? It depends largely on your driving style and terrain. The majority of brake pads last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving mostly on highways and braking smoothly, 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 Escalade EXT. Not all brake pads are created equally. Some materials last longer. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers brake pad replacement for Cadillac Escalade EXTs that comes with 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 Cadillac's standards.

Brake Repair for Cadillac Escalade EXT

Your Cadillac Escalade EXT engine may be strong and reliable. One that’s strong enough to take you into high mileage territory. But if you can’t stop it, it’s as good as scrap metal. Don't wait if you're experiencing brake squeaks or a loss of braking power. Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your 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, and this metal-to-metal friction shortens the life of otherwise healthy brake components. We can help you steer clear of further brake damage. Visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for the right brake repair for your 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT. Our brake repair services include brake pad/shoe replacement, rotor/drum resurfacing, brake fluid exchange, and brake caliper and wheel cylinder installation.

Cadillac Escalade EXT Brakes Questions

  • Why does my Escalade EXT shake when I brake? If your Escalade EXT shakes when you brake, you could be dealing with warped rotors, faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, or loose or worn suspension parts. Schedule a free brake inspection at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help diagnosing your brake issue.
  • What is the total number of brake pads on my Escalade EXT? On most cars, each axle is equipped with four brake pads — two per front wheel and two per back wheel. The front wheels usually work harder to help stop your Escalade EXT, so don’t be surprised if your front brake pads wear out faster than your rear brake pads.
  • How long should my Escalade EXT brake pads last? You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your Escalade EXT 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 Escalade EXT be leaking brake fluid when the car is off? Your Escalade EXT has a closed hydraulic brake system, meaning you should not have a brake fluid leak under normal conditions. However, parts of your brake system can wear out over time or become damaged, which can lead to a brake fluid leak.
