Brake Fluid Exchange or Brake Flush

Your safety is our top priority which is why our technicians will always inspect your braking system and inform you of any issues that may need attention. Most car manufacturers recommend changing your vehicle’s brake fluid every 20,000 – 30,0000 or two – three years. Over time, the brake fluid becomes contaminated with air, moisture and other particles which diminish your vehicle’s stopping power. Stopping distance is crucial to your safety and the safety of those around you, it’s important to be mindful of the symptoms that can occur when your vehicle needs a brake fluid exchange.
