Why is a brake service important for a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

• Maintains stopping power and safety: routine inspections catch worn pads, damaged rotors, and leaking lines before they create hazardous conditions.
• Preserves drivetrain and braking components: addressing issues early prevents accelerated wear to calipers, wheel bearings, and ABS sensors.
• Value and long-term savings: our certified technicians use OEM parts that help avoid repeat repairs — our dealership often costs less than independent shops over time because we protect you from premature replacement and hidden failures.
• Warranty protection: any repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid.
• Convenience: ready to book? schedule service online and ask about payment options — we offer service financing so you can get repairs now and pay later.

How long does a brake replacement take?

• Brake pad replacement on a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 typically takes about 1 to 2 hours per axle, depending on condition and workload.
• If rotors require resurfacing or replacement, allow an additional hour; full front-and-rear jobs are often completed the same day at our shop.
• We leverage factory-trained technicians, OEM tools and parts to speed diagnosis and reduce the chance of callbacks — that experience translates to faster, more reliable service than many independent shops.

How often should you replace the brake pads and rotors?

• Brake pad life depends on driving style and conditions; many Silverado owners see pads last between 30,000–70,000 miles, while rotors often last longer when properly maintained.
• We recommend regular inspections at every oil change or at least annually for everyday driving, and more frequently for heavy towing or off-road use.
• Our technicians will inspect pads, rotors, calipers and fluid and advise on the most cost-effective action — replacing pads and rotors together often yields the best performance and longevity.
• Warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership, so staying on a scheduled inspection plan at Stevinson Chevrolet protects coverage and resale value.
