How often does brake fluid need changing?

Most vehicles are on a two to three year interval, but we test the fluid rather than guess from mileage. If it is still in spec, we tell you it can wait.

Brake fluid

Brake Fluid Flush in Lynchburg, VA

Brake fluid absorbs water over time, which lowers its boiling point and corrodes the ABS and lines from the inside. We test the fluid, and when it is due we flush the full system rather than just bleeding a corner, so the pedal stays firm and the expensive parts stay protected. If a soft pedal turns out to be worn pads instead, that is a brake repair, and we show you which it is. Serving Lynchburg VA and Forest. Backed 36 months / 36,000 miles.
