Your brakes are one of the most important safety features on your vehicle, and brake fluid plays a crucial role in keeping them working properly. When was the last time you had your brake fluid exchanged? If you’re not sure, don’t worry—we’re here to help!

​

Why Is Brake Fluid Exchange Important?

Brake fluid is like the lifeblood of your braking system. It transfers the force from your foot on the brake pedal to the brake pads that stop your car. Over time, though, brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air, which makes it less effective. Moisture in your brake fluid can lead to corrosion, reduce braking performance, and even cause brake failure. Keeping your brake fluid fresh ensures your brakes respond quickly and perform safely when you need them most.

​

How Often Should You Get It Done?

We recommend having your brake fluid exchanged every 2 to 3 years, or about every 30,000 miles. Of course, factors like your driving habits and local weather can influence this schedule, so if you drive frequently in stop-and-go traffic or humid areas, it’s a good idea to check it more often. Regular brake fluid exchanges are a simple way to keep your brake system in great shape.

​

What We Do During the Service

When you bring your vehicle in for a brake fluid exchange, our expert technicians:

• Fully drain the old, worn-out brake fluid from your system

• Flush the brake lines to remove any moisture, dirt, and contaminants

• Refill the system with high-quality, fresh brake fluid recommended for your vehicle

• Test your brakes to ensure everything is working perfectly

This thorough process helps restore your brakes’ efficiency and can prevent costly repairs caused by corrosion and brake fluid degradation.
