St. Louis Brake Fluid Service: Know Your Fluid

Brake Fluid's Critical Role

The safety of your brakes relies on brake fluid, which can deteriorate over time, affecting performance.

Signs Your Brake Fluid Needs Attention

• Soft or spongy brake pedal : If your pedal feels less responsive, contaminated fluid could be the issue.
• ABS warning light : Modern vehicles may alert you when brake fluid is low or compromised.
• Unusual brake performance : Delays or inconsistencies in braking suggest a need for inspection.
• Dark or dirty fluid : Dark fluid indicates contamination.

When to Change Your Brake Fluid

Most manufacturers recommend changing brake fluid every two to three years or every 30,000 miles. However, driving habits and local conditions—like St. Louis' fluctuating weather—can impact this timeline. Regular brake inspections will help determine when it’s time for a change.

Professional vs. At-Home Brake Fluid Service

Checking fluid levels is simple, but replacement needs professional bleeding.
