Brake Fluid Service
Keep your brake system performing at its best. Brake fluid flush removes moisture and contaminants that compromise stopping power.
Why Brake Fluid Matters
Brake fluid is the lifeblood of your hydraulic braking system. It transfers the force from your brake pedal to your calipers, creating the clamping pressure that stops your car.
Here's the problem: brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air. Over time, this moisture lowers the fluid's boiling point and causes internal corrosion. In Bob White's humid climate, this happens faster than you might think.
Old brake fluid can boil under heavy braking, causing pedal fade — a scary situation where your pedal goes to the floor and you can't stop effectively.
Hidden Danger
Most drivers never think about brake fluid — until their pedal goes soft on a rainy Jacksonville highway. Flushing every 2 years or 24,000 miles prevents this.
