Brake Services for Your 1988 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser

It’s best to get a brake check before your Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser shows signs of brake troubles. 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 Oldsmobile, 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.

Brake problems include unusual noises, a vibrating 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 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser better than anyone else. And you don't have to wait for something to go wrong. Stay ahead of problems with a free brake check. Generally speaking, automakers like Oldsmobile suggest that at a minimum, front and rear brakes are disassembled and serviced at least once every 12 months or 12,000 miles. That includes inspecting the parking brake. Brake service and/or repair should be performed as necessary. Want to keep your brakes ready for anything?

Our expert technicians are happy to examine your 1988 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser brakes, brake pads, and other braking components. Properly maintaining your brake system is so important.

How often do 1988 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser brake pads need to be replaced? It depends largely on your driving style and terrain. 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. If you often haul heavy loads or ride your brakes, your brake pads may wear out sooner. Your brake pad replacement timeline also depends on the type of brake pads you have installed on your Custom Cruiser. Some brake pad materials last longer than others. Thankfully, when you get Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. Brake checks and brake pad replacements are some of our most popular services. For your Custom Cruiser, we’ll use brake components that meet or exceed Oldsmobile’s specs.
