Brake Fluid

Preventing the braking system of a car from deteriorating is impossible, but you can help delay the inevitable with some quality maintenance practices. Brake fluid checks are a great way to help address the overall health of the system because it plays a role in allowing all the individual parts to work together in tandem. The natural accumulation of rust and corrosion will still happen to your vehicle, but the severity will be far less drastic if you remember to have the brake fluid changed at the proper intervals.

Service Timeline

While you may now be aware of the importance of having your car’s brake fluid change, you still have to know what the optimal timeline is for this form of service. Getting the brake fluid flushed and refilled every 30,000 miles is one recommendation that you might frequently see, but our advice is to consult the Owner’s Manual of your specific model for the most accurate information. If you spend a great deal of your time cruising along I-57 to reach various destinations, then you’ll likely have to have your vehicle serviced a little sooner than what might be recommended. In that case, don’t forget to check out our Service Specials for chances to save come cash on your next visit to our Service Depatment.

Brake Fluid Leak Repair

If you hit a pothole or rough patch of earth recently and noticed that there’s a dark brownish or yellow liquid coming from the undecided of your vehicle, then it might be due to a brake fluid leak. There’s no need to panic in this situation though. You’ll have more than enough time to reach our destination for repairs before the low brake fluid levels start to take a toll on your car’s parts. It’s also important to remember that even if you didn’t have a collision on the road recently, the wear and tear of making your trips to Cobb Park and other locations throughout the years can lead to this situation as well. To get it resolved at your earliest convenience, use our online form to schedule your service appointment!

 

What Causes a Brake Fluid Leak?

  • Hitting a pothole or patch of rough terrain can sometimes damage the underside of your vehicle and potentially create a leak in the brake lines that causes them to lose fluid.

The team does an excellent job communicating about purchase orders and parts availability. They are quick to respond, great at sourcing parts even the hard-to-find ones, and always willing to go the extra mile. I have no complaints; they are knocking it out of the park.

Parts and service are always helping me out. Whether I need a replacement part for my fleet or providing a service fixing something on one of my buses. I'd recommend them. They're busy, but service is quality and everyone is always friendly.

Another bus driver and I drove up to this business where our Buses are serviced and warranty work is done. So we drove up there to retrieve one of our Schools Buses and bring it back to Joplin to get placed back into service. This business is on top of what they do and they do a spectacular job.
