Our technicians are equipped to check and replace your vehicle’s brake fluid.
For several years, our experienced local crew at Empire Automotive Repair LLC has been dedicated to providing fair, honest, and friendly car repair services for drivers throughout the Asheville, North Carolina region. Although we focus primarily on BMWs, there is one crucial component that all vehicles require in order to function safely and reliably: brake fluid.
Brake fluid is the hydraulic fluid within a vehicle’s braking system that transfers the force from the brake pedal to the actual braking mechanism, allowing the car to safely come to a stop. Similar to engine oil, brake fluid should be periodically replaced to ensure that the fluid remains clear and free of any potential contaminants. Since the brake fluid also acts as a lubricant and helps prevent corrosion, it’s essential to keep an eye out for possible leaks or low fluid levels.
There are several signs that may indicate the need for brake fluid replacement. you may have low brake fluid levels if you notice that your brake pedal feels soft, you notice puddles of oil near the front of your car, or the ABS warning light appears on your dashboard. It’s important to get your brake fluid checked as soon as possible to prevent any safety issues that may be caused by a faulty braking system.
When you bring your vehicle to us, we’ll conduct a full inspection to determine if your brake fluid simply needs to be flushed and replaced or if there’s a more serious problem that needs to be addressed. Once our assessment is complete, we’ll relay our findings to you and give you an accurate estimate for our repair services.
