What is a brake system flush all about?

Brake fluid is essential for the operation of a car’s brakes. When you push the brake pedal, the brake fluid causes the brake pads to press against the rotors, making the car slow down and stop. Over time, the brake fluid absorbs air, moisture, sludge and other contaminants and gets contaminated. Air in the brake fluid causes braking to feel spongy and significantly reduces braking efficiency. A brake system flush includes removing the existing fluid and moisture out of the system and replacing it with new, clean, fluid. A brake fluid flush ensures proper brake system performance and increases the lifespan of your brake system components.

Keep in mind:

A mobile mechanic will use a hand-held vacuum pump and/or atmospheric pressure to remove the fluid. While it is not as powerful as a pressure bleeder, this is an industry approved method of bleeding your brakes. It gets the job done and provides the convenience of a mechanic coming to you.

How it's done:

  • Remove contaminated brake fluid
  • Add new brake fluid
  • Bleed the brakes
  • Clean any surfaces where brake fluid has spilled during the bleeding process
  • Check for fluid leaks
  • Inspect brake pads, rotors and hoses
  • Test drive car

Our recommendation:

Please follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule and guidelines regarding fluid maintenance. It is a good practice to change brake fluid every 24,000 miles or 36 months. Always use a fluid recommended by your vehicles manufacturer (do not use silicone based brake fluids if your car needs regular brake fluid).

What common symptoms indicate you may need a brake system flush?

  • Brake fluid appears black or brown indicating contamination
  • Brake pedal feels spongy
  • Diminished brake system performance

How important is this service?

If you do not regularly flush your brake system, it will end up costing you more money down the road. As the fluid becomes contaminated, it will eventually cause brake system components to fail and leak. This will also lead to diminished brake system performance, causing a safety concern.

Volkswagen Golf L4-2.0L - Brake System Flush - San Leandro, California
Steve arrived at my drive-way on time and he is very nice and friendly. He explained to me how he would do the brake fluid flush on my VW Golf. He bled out all the old brake fluid and air from each of the brake lines on each wheel one by one as he said he would and filled the main reservoir with fresh O'Reilly DOT 3 brake fluid from a new bottle. Steve did the job quickly and checked my car here and there for routine visual inspection and let me know everything was fine. However, the next day I was checking the level of the brake fluid to see if it is still at the right level for curiosity, just to make sure there is no leak or anything and I realized that the main brake fluid reservoir specifically stated " must use DOT 4 brake fluid". Went online and check to see if there is any adversary effect on my brake system in my VW if DOT 3 is used. Most said yes and some said no. The main difference between DOT 3 and DOT 4 is the boiling point. DOT 3 has a lower dry and wet boiling points than DOT 4 and it is cheaper, meaning lower quality in general. I am happy with Steve's service, but not happy with the part he put in my car. I wanted to maintain the good health of the ABS braking system by doing a brake fluid flush, but now it is more like the opposite since I paid someone to put the wrong brake fluid in the system now.
