You can schedule service online and check service specials.

Should I replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2018 Chevrolet Spark?

If rotors are healthy, we resurface or replace only as needed to maintain stopping power and minimize cost.

- Utah canyon braking can blue or crack rotorswe check for heat spots
- OEM-spec pads help preserve factory pedal feel and NVH
Is it worth getting brakes done at the dealer vs an independent shop for a 2018 Chevrolet Spark?

Can I drive my 2018 Chevrolet Spark with worn brakes?
Nodriving with worn or grinding brakes is unsafe and can damage rotors and calipers.
