Details
Brake fluid is hydroscopic. That means it absorbs water moisture from the air.
Water in your brake fluid can cause corrosion and rust in your brake system, and it also reduces the heat resistance of the fluid.
You want to have your brake fluid tested regularly for internal moisture, and replace it as required.
Our expert technicians provide a high pressure brake fluid flush. It removes old, contaminated fluid and replaces it with fresh brake fluid that meets your vehicle’s specific requirements.
This service helps to maintain optimal braking power, prevent corrosion, and extend the life of your braking system. It’s a key part of ensuring your vehicle is safe and reliable in all driving conditions.
If you’re unsure what the condition of your brake fluid is, the good news is that a brake fluid moisture check is part of every minor and major service at Topco.
