Brake Fluid Exchange

Service Description

Unless you're a super hero, the strength in your leg isn't enough to stop tons of moving auto. So a hydraulic system filled with special brake fluid is used to multiply the power you apply to your brakes. Over time, the brake fluid can absorb water from the air, which can reduce your braking power and cause wear and corrosion. A brake fluid change (some people call it a “brake fluid flush”) keeps your braking system strong, so that when you step on the brake pedal, the vehicle stops as you expect. It also helps extend the life of your entire brake system.


Included in your service:

  • Drain old brake fluid
  • Replace with fresh brake fluid
  • Safe disposal of old fluid
