Brake fluid service
Brake fluid
Brake fluid is a specially formulated liquid used in hydraulic brake systems to transfer force from the brake pedal to the brake components, such as the calipers and brake pads. It enables the system to generate the necessary pressure to slow or stop the vehicle by converting the mechanical force of pressing the pedal into hydraulic pressure. Brake fluid also helps to protect the system against corrosion and prevent moisture buildup, which could reduce braking efficiency.

How often should I replace?
Brake fluid should generally be replaced every 2 to 3 years, or every 24,000 to 36,000 miles, although this can vary depending on the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, which can reduce its effectiveness and lead to brake system corrosion, decreased braking performance, or even brake failure. It’s important to check the brake fluid level regularly and flush and replace the fluid as needed to maintain safe and reliable braking performance. We check the brake fluid every time you visit us for your regular oil change, so you can leave worry behind.
