Subaru Undercarriage Fluid Leak Dye Test Service Information serving Denver, CO

Figure out what's leaking with a Dye Test at Mike Shaw Subaru in Thornton, CO

It can be hard to locate the precise source of a leak, once it's started. The fluid spreads around the surface where it's actually leaking, and also drips on other parts creating a false trail. Even if you wipe everything clean, the leak may be slow, or hidden, so you still can't pinpoint it. That's when you will want to bring your Subaru in to Mike Shaw Subaru where we will perform a Dye Test. Our factory trained technicians will add a harmless dye to the fluids in your Subaru. This dye is invisible to the eye, but it will show up under UV lighting. Then it's a simple task to follow the dye trail upward until we find the source. Once we do, we'll let you know what we've found and discuss a repair plan.

Why should I spend money on a Dye Test when I can keep refilling the fluids?

That might work in the short run, if you are willing to take the risk. Depending on exactly which fluid is leaking, you may be gambling more than you will want to lose. Leaks have a way of getting larger, the longer they aren't found and fixed. That can be dangerous if it's your brake fluid, and expensive if it's your engine oil or transmission fluid. If you get lucky and the leak never gets worse, fluids still cost money. That's money that you are dumping on the road or in your driveway that's better used finding and fixing the leak.

How do I know when I should have a Dye Test Service performed?

If you've noticed fresh fluids pooling under your car when you leave your parking space, odds are good you have a leak somewhere. Depending on the color of the fluid, it may tell you what is leaking. Depending on the size of the fluid pool, it may tell you how urgent it is to get it repaired. Schedule an appointment, and bring your Subaru in for service. If we have any trouble identifying the source of the leak, we will recommend the Dye Test Service.
