Wilcoxson GMC – Why are my GMC Canyon brakes making grinding noise?
Hearing a grinding noise from your GMC Canyon’s brakes is never something to ignore. Whether you drive daily in Pueblo, CO, make work trips to Canon City, or plan weekend getaways near La Junta, safe and effective braking is essential for your peace of mind on the road. This type of noise may indicate worn-out pads, damaged rotors, or even debris caught in the brake components. At Wilcoxson GMC, we understand how stressful these issues can be, and we’re committed to helping you resolve them quickly and professionally. Our Certified Service technicians are factory-trained and use only Genuine GM parts to guarantee the best care for your Canyon. Prompt attention to brake issues not only ensures safety but can help prevent more costly repairs down the line.
If your GMC Canyon is making a grinding noise when braking, here are the recommended steps to ensure your safety and protect your vehicle:
- Stop Driving and Assess: If the noise is severe or braking feels uneven, it’s safest to minimize driving and avoid high speeds.
- Inspect Visually (if safe): Look through your wheels to see if excessive brake dust or visibly worn pads are present.
- Schedule Professional Inspection: Contact our Service Department at Wilcoxson GMC – we can perform a thorough Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection to pinpoint the issue.
- Never Attempt Major Repairs Yourself: Brake repairs require correct tools and knowledge; improper service may affect your vehicle’s safety and warranty.
- Consider Routine Maintenance: Regular maintenance helps catch small issues before they lead to more severe problems. Ask us about service specials for brake checks and replacements.
Remember, every situation is unique. For details concerning your specific GMC Canyon, consulting your owner’s manual or contacting the manufacturer or dealer is always recommended.
