3 Examples of Services Offered at Your Cadillac Dealership

Tire Service and Replacement

As you drive, the tire tread gradually wears down due to friction with the surface. Although this can’t be prevented, we have a variety of services that will increase tire life and make driving safer and more comfortable. Tire balance and wheel alignment can change over time, concentrating friction damage on specific parts of a tire and making a leak or blowout more likely.

We can reduce this damage by correcting tire balance and restoring wheel alignment. Tire life is also extended by regular tire rotations, where each tire is moved to a new position to equalize wear and tear and allow the tires to wear down at a reduced and relatively even rate. When you need new tires, we stock a full range of tires from all popular manufacturers in your Cadillac’s size that we can install and balance for you.

Brake Servicing

The brakes are one of the hardest-working systems in your vehicle, as they must always be capable of bringing your Cadillac to an almost instant stop. They rely on force, friction, and pressure to stop the wheels, and this causes parts to slowly wear out. Components like the brake pads will wear thinner as they work and will need replacement.

Brake fluid slowly absorbs water, and when you apply the brakes repeatedly over a short distance, the water can overheat and boil, reducing brake efficiency. In addition, time and driving conditions can damage brake components, which reduces braking efficiency. We can easily replace worn or damaged parts so your brakes deliver efficient stopping power when you need it.

Battery Testing

Your battery weakens over time as the chemicals that allow it to store and supply electricity break down. As this happens, the battery’s storage capacity drops, and it becomes less efficient at holding an electrical charge. Since the battery powers the starter, which brings your engine to life, you’ll notice a delay, as a weaker battery can’t easily deliver the concentrated power to crank the engine in seconds.

Regular battery testing, starting from your battery’s third year, will identify any problems and provide a heads-up if it’s failing. Our technicians can replace a worn battery in minutes, preventing the headache and stress of a dead battery at the worst possible time.

These are just a small sample of our available services. Contact our service department at Service Chevrolet Cadillac in Lafayette, LA.
