Brake Fluid Exchange Service

Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Brake Fluid Exchange in Gun Barrel City, TX

Brake fluid is the liquid inside the hydraulic system that stops your car. When you press on the brake pedal, the brake fluid in the closed system moves various parts to cause the brake pads to stop the wheels from turning. This is not like engine oil but it is a petroleum product. It can break down over time, but not nearly as fast as engine oil will. There is no set timetable for when it should be changed, and car manufacturers recommend different time frames for various vehicles. To make sure you brakes are taken care of properly, visit Elder Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Cedar Creek in Gun Barrel City, TX. We are a short drive from Kaufman, Kemp, and Athens, TX.

Flushing Your Brake Fluid

Small particles of rubber or other materials from wear on the master cylinder and other parts can get into your fluid. Moisture can also get in there, and both of those things compromise the effectiveness of your brakes. Eventually, the brake fluid will get old too, and stop working as well. It is a good idea to have your brakes inspected at about 30,000 miles, or whatever your owners manual says, to make sure they are working properly. This is not to be confused with brake bleeding, which is getting the air bubbles out of your brake system. Both should be part of your brake maintenance schedule. Not getting your brake fluid replaced, or exchanged, is not as critical as regular oil for your engine, but it is still important. You could end up with brakes that are not working in a worst-case scenario. What is more likely is your brakes will work just a little less effectively each day until one day you won’t be able to stop in time. Getting the brakes flushed, and getting new fluid, will keep your brakes working well. it will also prevent other costly repairs that could become necessary if you neglect the fluid too long.
