Keep Your Subaru Well Maintained with Brake Fluid Flush Service in Thornton, CO

Have you ever been at franchise or independent mechanic shop for basic maintenance like an oil change, only to have them suggest that you should have the brake fluid flushed and replaced? Any time additional services are recommended, it's hard not to question if you really need the service or whether you can even trust the mechanic telling you this. Fortunately, our authorized service center at Mike Shaw Subaru is here to take the guesswork out of maintaining your Subaru. Below, we discuss some of what we think you should know about brake fluid flush service. If you have any questions, please give us a call or stop by our location in Thornton, CO.

Do You Really Need Brake Fluid Flush Service for Your Subaru?

Eventually, the answer to this question will be yes. You see, brake fluid is what's called hygroscopic. That means it will absorb moisture from the air, which will eventually be a problem. Because brake fluid does not compress, it's able to transfer the pressure from your brake pedal to the brake calipers at the wheels. Water can be compressed, so when the moisture content in the brake fluid gets too high, the fluid will not work as well. That's when the system should be flushed and refilled with fresh brake fluid.

How Often Should You Get Brake Fluid Flush Service?

This service is a part of recommended Subaru maintenance, so you shouldn't have to worry about it as long as you keep up with the maintenance schedule. However, it's still worth asking a service advisor about it in an authorized service center like ours at Mike Shaw Subaru. A brake fluid flush service doesn't take long in our shop because we have the right tools and knowledge to get the job done right.

We'll remove all the old brake fluid from the system and replace it with fresh brake fluid that has been approved by the factory as well as the Department of Transportation. It's important to trust the experts for this kind of service since anything that's not done correctly can result in the brakes not working when you need them.
