Brake fluid replacement will be part of your vehicle’s maintenance for as long as you own it. Brake fluid requires regular replacement, typically every 2 years or so. As it ages, some of the protective chemicals start to deteriorate. More importantly, brake fluid absorbs moisture from the environment – over time, its water content increases leading to longer braking distance, and in extreme cases, to brake failure. As the brake fluid water content increases, it can accelerate braking system corrosion.
At Frank’s Auto Service and Repair, a family operated, and family owned independent Walnut Creek auto repair shop, we offer brake fluid replacement among the full gamut of brake services and repairs. Replacing brake fluid can be accomplished in a single day, so you can drop off your vehicle in the morning, and pick it up in the afternoon with the service completed.
Before we replace the brake fluid in your vehicle, we will verify that it needs replacement – both through visual inspection, as well as through test designed to determine if the brake fluid water content is excessive. When the replacement is indicated, we will use brake fluid that matches manufacturer recommendation, and we will test your vehicle to make sure that the brake system functions as designed. We offer Original Equipment Manufacturer quality parts and fluids, and all repairs performed at our Walnut Creek repair shop are backed by a nationwide 3 year / 36,000 miles warranty.
