How Often Do Your Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon Brakes Need Service
It’s best to get a brake check before your Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon 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 battery replacement. If life has gotten in the way of everyday car care, keep the following brake information in mind.
Brake problems include unusual noises, pulsation or vibration in the steering wheel or pedal, a burning smell near your tires, a “lit” dashboard brake signal, or a gut feeling that something’s not right. You know your Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon better than anyone else. A free brake check can help keep your system performing well. Vehicle manufacturers like Oldsmobile 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. Want to keep your brakes ready for anything? Stop at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a quick inspection. All of our 1,700+ locations offer free brake checks seven days a week. Our expert technicians are happy to examine your 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon brakes, brake pads, and other braking components. Properly maintaining your brake system is so important.
Brake Pad Replacement for Your Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon
How often should you change your 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon’s brake pads? It depends largely on your driving style and terrain. Brake pads often last 30,000 to 40,000 miles. If you drive mostly on the highway and tend to brake smoothly (as opposed to slamming on the brakes), your brake pads may last longer. If you often haul heavy loads or ride your brakes, your brake pads may wear out sooner. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your Cutlass Salon. Not all brake pads are created equally. Some materials last longer. Thankfully, when you get Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. We do brake checks and brake pad replacements every day, and for your Cutlass Salon, we’ll only use parts that meet or surpass Oldsmobile’s standards.
Brake Repair for Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon
You might have a strong and reliable engine in your Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon. One that can outlast the 170,000-mile mark. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal. If you notice your brakes are squeaking or not working well, don’t wait! Safe driving and responsive brakes go hand in hand. Plus, ignoring your brake problems can result in more damage and higher brake repair bills. For example, if you drive with completely worn out brake pads, your rotors might start to warp, and this metal-to-metal friction shortens the life of otherwise healthy brake components. Our technicians work to prevent more brake damage. Visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for the right brake repair for your 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon. We offer a variety of brake services like brake pad/shoe replacement, brake rotor/drum resurfacing, brake fluid exchange/bleeding, and brake caliper and wheel cylinder installation.

Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon Brakes Frequently Asked Questions
-
What can cause my Cutlass Salon to shake when I apply the brakes? Faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, loose or worn suspension parts, and warped rotors can cause your Cutlass Salon 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 Cutlass Salon? Most cars have four brake pads per axle, with two pads on each front wheel and two on each rear wheel. The front brake pads usually wear out faster than the rear pads since they do more of the work when stopping the car.
-
How long can I expect my Cutlass Salon 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 Cutlass Salon 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.
-
Is it bad if my Cutlass Salon is leaking brake fluid when off? Your Cutlass Salon 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.
