Brake System Flush Service
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.
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
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 often should you flush your brake system?
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 vehicle's manufacturer (do not use silicone based brake fluids if your car needs regular brake fluid).
Signs you may need a brake system flush
Over time, brake fluid can become contaminated or lose its effectiveness. This is why it’s important to know the signs that indicate a need for a brake fluid flush. If you experience any of the following symptoms, it may be time to have your brake system professionally serviced.
- Unusual Noises When Braking: One clear sign that your brake system needs attention is the presence of unusual noises when braking. If you hear squeaking, squealing, or grinding, this could indicate that the brake fluid is not effectively transferring the hydraulic forces necessary for an even, quiet stop.
- Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal Feel: If your brake pedal feels soft or spongy underfoot, this is a classic symptom of air or moisture contamination in the brake fluid. A flush and refill could restore pedal firmness and ensure consistent braking performance.
- Decreased Braking Efficiency: When you notice a decrease in braking efficiency, where the car takes longer to stop than usual or the brakes do not seem as responsive, it could be due to degraded or contaminated brake fluid. A brake system flush can help return your brakes to optimal function.
- Warning Lights on the Dashboard: Modern vehicles are equipped with sensors that monitor the brake system's health. If you see a warning light on the dashboard related to the brakes, it's a smart move to get your brake fluid checked and flushed if necessary.
Do not ignore these warning signs of a failing brake system. Proactively addressing these issues with a brake fluid flush from a mobile mechanic can help maintain your vehicle's safety and prolong the lifespan of the brake system components.
The benefits of a brake system flush
Maintaining the integrity of your brake system is crucial for vehicle safety and performance. A regular brake fluid flush can offer a myriad of benefits that not only safeguard your driving experience but also contribute to the longevity of your vehicle's brake components.
- Improved safety and brake response: Enhanced safety is the primary benefit of a brake fluid flush. Fresh fluid ensures optimal brake response, reducing the risk of brake failure and the distance needed to stop your vehicle, thereby preventing potential accidents and keeping you and your passengers safe on the road.
- Prevention of corrosion within the braking system: Failing to maintain your vehicle's brake system can lead to progressive wear and damage to essential components such as calipers, the master cylinder, ABS modules, and other parts. These components are costly to repair or replace, and brake system flushes can help extend their life by keeping the fluid free of contaminants that may cause corrosion.
- Enhanced longevity of the vehicle's brake components: By preventing corrosion and removing contaminants that can cause wear, a brake fluid flush indirectly contributes to the longevity of your vehicle's brake parts. Regular flushes can save you money in the long run by reducing the frequency of repairs and replacements needed for the braking system.
