Brake Test and Replacement in Chicago, IL
Has it become more difficult for you to slow your vehicle down on Michigan Avenue? If so, bring it to Western Avenue Nissan, because we have a Service Department that is well equipped to handle your car's needs.
Warning Signs
Whenever you take a trip around Chicago, stopping at each red light may seem tedious, but it is a vital task that your vehicle performs. Using a series of advanced components, your brake system employs a great deal of friction during its use. Because of that comment it's important that you're aware of warning signs that indicate something is wrong. For example, a burning smell can mean that your brake pads are near the end of their life. The same is true for a screeching noise that is heard while you halt your Nissan Altima or Rogue. This can occur when the pads wear down enough to allow metal to scrape against the rotors. Lastly, be sure to drop by our dealership if you ever have a hard time stopping the car.
Test
If you even countered any of the aforementioned red flags, it is important that you visit us for a brake test. When you do, our skilled technicians will take a look at each of the parts of your braking system. These consist of the pads, rotors, and calipers. The first of these will often wear out first, as brake pads are crafted from a softer material than the other components to reduce heat. The rotors of your vehicle should also be tested, as they won't last forever. Even if all these parts are in good shape, the brake fluid may still need to be changed. For that reason, we’ll inspect it. We can also check for leaks, since this can cause many problems during your journeys down Lake Shore Drive.
Replacement
Most of the parts of your brake system are designed to be replaced on a semi-regular basis. The less durable brake pads should usually be changed every three to five years or every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, whichever comes first. The rotors can usually last up to 75,000 miles but always be sure to check your Owner's Manual for manufacturer recommendations. When you visit our nearby location for a replacement service, we will get started by taking off the old parts and properly disposing of them. After that, you can chat with our Parts Department about equipping new units. Rely on our OEM-certified technicians for quality Nissan maintenance.

Jermaine was amazing
“ Jermaine was amazing. A great salesman who checked every option to find what was right for us (price included lol). There is a stereotype of a shady cars salesman, trying to do anything for that commission; and he is as far from that as you can possibly get. Along with their finance department’s assistance finding a way to get the best possible price, all together it was the best experience we ever could’ve asked for. ”
Reggie was awesome!

Such a great experience!
“ Such a great experience. If you looking for a new car ask for Courtney. He got me approved when I didn’t believe I could due to a chapter 13 but he did at a good rate too ”
Informative & Understanding
“ First, I had contact with Nicole, who was informative & understanding. When I got into the dealership, I worked with Mr. Courtney, who was friendly and informative. Despite my tricky financial situation, we were able to work out a deal for financing that was within my budget. I ended up with a car 10 years newer than I was originally looking at! ”

I highly recommend for anyone responsible
“ I typed a review but forgot to press send cause they called me to sign the paperwork. I was here last Friday, first time buyer, first car. It was a day that changed my life. Hector was the one who mainly helped me and he hooked me up. He took his time, he was very easy to talk to and relate to, let me test drive what I wanted and he let me drive out there with a better deal than I went in for. Hector’s the real MVP. ”
Most definitely will comeback!
“ Jermaine was an amazing sells man!! He listened to what my daughter was looking for, how much she wanted to put down and how much she wants as a car payment. Let just say he exceeded our expectation with the mileage of the car and the monthly payment . Most definitely will comeback to get a new car. No, you get a whopper if you don’t cry, I’m your reason to cry so go ahead and act up for don’t work with me. I work with your mama. ”
Good Experience!
“ Well, at first I saw another car online that I thought was reasonable and I didn’t know if I could afford it or not and it turned out to be not what I expected so I met a nice young man and Daniel. He was very nice and he assured me that he could help me find a better car than what I was looking at. He was the first one that took the step out to reach out to me. The other people in the building act like that I didn’t exist, but Daniel Took his chance and show me some cars, and I even got the opportunity to trade in mine and it was a good experience it was better than I expected and now I have a beautiful new car and I feel more safer than I did before I came there. I just wanna tell Daniel thank you so much for taking the opportunity and your time to make me feel comfortable about getting a car I really need one really bad and now I will feel safe getting to working back because of you , thank you so much for the good customer service and believing me and you gave me the confidence to get myself better Car thank you and I will assure you that I will take care of the car like I supposed to who knows I may come back and get a more expensive one but right now this one fits my budget and I’m happy for what I got. Thank you so much. ”
