How Often Do Your GMC Sierra 3500 HD Brakes Need Service

It's a good idea to have your 2008 GMC  Sierra 3500 HD brakes serviced before a problem arises. You don't have to wait for something to go wrong. 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 check as a standalone service or in addition to work you're already having done on your GMC, like 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 burning smell around the tires, a dashboard brake light that’s powered on, or a gut feeling that something’s not right. You know your GMC Sierra 3500 HD better than anyone else. A free brake check can help keep your system performing well. Generally speaking, automakers like GMC suggest that at a minimum, front and rear brakes are removed and serviced at least once every 12 months or 12,000 miles. That includes checking the parking brake, too. 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 expert technicians are happy to examine your 2008 GMC Sierra 3500 HD brakes, brake pads, and other braking components. Proper brake maintenance is key to preventing problems in the first place.

GMC Sierra 3500 HD Brake Pad Replacement

How often should you change your 2008 GMC Sierra 3500 HD’s brake pads? It depends on you and your driving style. Brake pads often last 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 Sierra 3500 HD. Some brake pad materials last longer than others. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers GMC Sierra 3500 HD brake pad replacements, coupons on brake services, and a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty on brake pads. We do brake checks and brake pad replacements every day, and for your Sierra 3500 HD, we’ll only use parts that meet or surpass GMC’s standards.

GMC Sierra 3500 HD Brake Repair

Your GMC Sierra 3500 HD 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, then it's scrap metal. If you’re experiencing squeaky brakes or a loss of braking power, don’t wait! Safe driving and responsive brakes go hand in hand. What's more, waiting for things to figure themselves out can result in more damage to your brakes and your wallet. For instance, rotors may start to warp when you drive on worn brake pads, and this metal-to-metal friction shortens the life of otherwise healthy brake components. We can help prevent that damage from happening. Go to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for 2008 GMC Sierra 3500 HD brake repairs. Our brake repair services include brake pad/shoe replacement, brake rotor/drum machining, brake fluid exchange/bleeding, and brake caliper and wheel cylinder service.

GMC Sierra 3500 HD Brakes Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is causing my Sierra 3500 HD to shake when I brake? Faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, loose or worn suspension parts, and warped rotors can cause your Sierra 3500 HD to shake during braking. If you’re experiencing odd brake behavior, schedule a free brake inspection at a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • How many brake pads are on my Sierra 3500 HD? 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 Sierra 3500 HD, so don’t be surprised if your front brake pads wear out faster than your rear brake pads.
  • How often do I need to replace my Sierra 3500 HD brake pads? Brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Your driving can affect how long your Sierra 3500 HD brake pads last, though. For example, mainly driving on highways and gradually braking can help increase the lifespan of your brake pads, and carrying hefty loads or riding your brakes can shorten it.
  • Is it bad if my Sierra 3500 HD is leaking brake fluid when off? Your Sierra 3500 HD brake system is a closed hydraulic system, which means that the brake fluid should not leak out of the system under normal circumstances. However, over time, the various components of the brake system can wear out or become damaged, which can cause brake fluid to leak out of the system.
