Brake Fluid Exchange

Importance of Brake Fluid Exchange Service

If you are thinking of skipping a brake fluid exchange service, you need to think again. The brake system generates heat, friction, and particle debris. All these three problems require a brake fluid exchange service. If you continue to drive with contaminated or ineffective brake fluid, you can damage the brake system and compromise the safe operation of your vehicle. In brake fluid exchange service, our technicians will drain the old fluid from the brake fluid reservoir, clean any debris in the system, and refill the system with fresh brake fluid. Our technicians will also check for any signs of rusted brake parts that require repair or replacement during the refill process.

When to Replace Brake Fluid?

The brake fluid should be replaced according to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation. Keep in mind that brake fluid service depends on mileage and time, so even if your vehicle doesn’t spend a lot of time on the road, it might still need a brake fluid exchange service. We recommend you have regular brake inspections to ensure the system has not developed any leaks. If the brake fluid has leaked or suffered from contamination, the brake fluid might have gone ineffective. Our technicians at Evans Volkswagen can guide you on brake fluid service intervals and the type of brake fluid to use for your vehicle.
