Protect Your Braking System with Fresh Fluid
Brake fluid is hygroscopic — it absorbs moisture from the air over time. This moisture lowers the fluid's boiling point, which can lead to brake fade during heavy use. In our humid Arkansas climate, fluid degradation happens faster than you might expect. A brake fluid exchange removes contaminated fluid and replaces it with fresh DOT-rated fluid for optimal hydraulic performance.
We flush the entire system from the master cylinder to each wheel cylinder or caliper, bleeding all air out for a firm, responsive pedal feel.
- Complete system drain and flush
- Fresh DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid
- Proper bleeding at all four wheels
- Inspection of lines and connections
- Fluid condition assessment
- 12-month warranty on service
Signs Your Fluid Needs Service
Contaminated brake fluid affects stopping performance and safety.
Soft or Spongy Pedal
Air in the system or contaminated fluid creates a pedal that sinks close to the floor before brakes engage.
Brake Fade
Reduced braking power during repeated stops or downhill driving. Old fluid boils at lower temperatures.
Dark or Dirty Fluid
Fresh brake fluid is nearly clear. Dark, murky fluid indicates contamination and moisture absorption.
Overdue Service
Manufacturer recommendations vary, but 24 months or 30,000 miles is a common interval for fluid replacement.
Why Fluid Maintenance Matters
Your brake fluid is as important as any other component.
Prevent Corrosion
Moisture causes internal corrosion of calipers, wheel cylinders, and master cylinder seals, leading to expensive repairs.
Maintain Boiling Point
Fresh fluid resists brake fade during heavy braking or mountain descents around Northwest Arkansas.
Firm Pedal Feel
Contaminated fluid and air make the pedal feel soft and unpredictable. Fresh fluid restores responsive braking.
Extend Component Life
Clean fluid keeps seals and internal components lubricated and functioning properly longer.
When Was Your Last Fluid Change?
If it's been more than two years or you've noticed pedal changes, schedule a fluid exchange today.
