How does flushing my brake fluid keep me safe?

Brake fluid naturally absorbs moisture over time, even in a sealed system. As water builds up, it lowers the fluid’s boiling point. During braking, heat can cause that trapped water to turn into vapor, which compresses under pressure. The result is a soft, “spongy” brake pedal and reduced stopping power, which can be extremely dangerous in an emergency. Moisture buildup also leads to internal corrosion in brake lines and calipers, making them more likely to leak or fail.

A brake fluid flush removes that contaminated fluid and replaces it with fresh, high-performing fluid, which enables your brakes to respond reliably and helps prevent corrosion to critical components. Performing this service every two years, or with each regular brake service, will help keep your vehicle in its best condition.
