Your brakes are especially important in keeping you and your loved ones safe, so it’s safe to say both you and we want your brakes to be working at their best. One of the major determinants of brake function is the quality of your brake fluid, and when your brake fluid gets to be contaminated and degraded, your ability to stop when and where you need is decreased. At Hendrick Volkswagen, we provide brake fluid exchanges for your Volkswagen to be able to stop on a proverbial dime.
Your brake system uses hydraulics to convert the pressure of your foot into serious braking power. Otherwise, you’d have to press as hard on the pedal as your pads press on the rotor to slow down the tires. Since the hydraulic system uses fluid pressure, your brake fluid needs to be as incompressible as possible, and so it has a low percentage of water in it. Over time, the natural humidity of the air can contaminate your brake fluid and increase its compressibility, reducing your braking power.
When it comes to replacing your brake fluid, most experts agree that it should happen around every 30,000 miles. Your owner’s manual most likely recommends it as well, and that’s because that’s close to the time that your fluid starts to lose its unique properties. However, if you notice worsening braking power, a soft brake pedal, or any type of disturbance to your braking, it’s always good to check it out as soon as you notice it.
We go above and beyond at Hendrik Volkswagen. Not only do our certified technicians work hard to give you the best service possible, but we also provide as many amenities as we can.
