Refresh Your Brake System with Capitol Subaru of Salem's Flush Service

April 15th, 2024

In the realm of automotive engineering, hydraulic braking systems remain the norm for the majority of contemporary vehicles. When you depress the brake pedal, you set in motion a sophisticated mechanism that transmits hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to the brakes via fluid-filled lines. Therefore, the quality of the brake fluid is paramount to the system's functionality. Particularly in regions with elevated humidity levels, brake fluid is prone to degradation over time, adversely affecting braking performance. Even if you've recently replaced your brake pads and still notice subpar stopping power, it's wise to have the entire system, including the brake fluid, thoroughly examined. Neglecting this crucial aspect of your vehicle could compromise safety. Trust the expertise of Capitol Subaru's skilled technicians for further insights and impeccable brake service.

Understanding the Importance of Brake Fluid Flushing

Throughout its usage, brake fluid gradually absorbs moisture from the surrounding environment. While brake fluid possesses properties enabling it to endure high levels of heat and pressure without reaching boiling point, the ingress of water into the system can disrupt its stability. Consequently, water-contaminated brake fluid may begin to boil under pressure, leading to a phenomenon known as brake fade. This manifests as an initial bite upon depressing the brake pedal, followed by a gradual decline in stopping power, necessitating increased pedal pressure. If you've encountered this issue, it's imperative to have a qualified technician inspect your vehicle's brake system promptly. Our technicians are equipped to conduct comprehensive tests to detect water presence in the brake fluid. Additionally, we offer professional flushing services to eliminate contaminants, followed by the replenishment of fresh brake fluid to restore optimal braking performance.
