Brake Fluid Exchange Service
Power Steering Fluid Exchange Service

Brake Fluid Exchange Service

The brake systems on most modern cars are hydraulic. That means, when you press the brake pedal, fluid pressure creates stopping power for your brakes. Over time, your vehicle may develop “brake fade.” This phenomenon is when stopping power comes on strong at first but seems to fade away after a second or two. This problem can often be fixed by replacing old, dirty brake fluid with fresh brake fluid. 

Power Steering Fluid Exchange Service

Turning your vehicle’s steering wheel should be smooth and easy. However, if you find that the vehicle is difficult to steer, or the steering wheel doesn’t turn smoothly, especially in just one direction, there could be a problem with the power steering system. Flushing the old, dirty fluid out of the power steering rack and replacing it with fresh power steering fluid may alleviate this issue.

Differential Fluid Exchange Service

Differential Fluid Exchange Service

You won’t find a differential on most front-wheel drive vehicles. However, the differential helps deliver engine power to the rear wheels on vehicles with rear-wheel drive, all-wheel-drive, or all-wheel-drive systems. If you detect a grinding or groaning noise from the rear of the vehicle, or a burning smell, that could be wear taking place in the differential. The differential fluid should be replaced every so often to prevent this — especially if you tow. Towing and off-road travel can put added stress on the differential, and you may need the differential fluid exchanged more frequently. 
Transmission Fluid Exchange Service

Transmission Fluid Exchange Service

Over time, dirty transmission fluid can cause an automatic transmission to “slip,” leading to a loss of power. Transmissions require clean transmission fluid to provide the proper fluid dynamics to deliver engine power to the wheels. The transmission fluid should be changed regularly to keep the transmission running its best. 

Engine Coolant Exchange Service

Engine Coolant Exchange Service

Engine coolant (aka antifreeze) prevents the engine from overheating as you drive. Over time, it will pick up debris and corrosion that can build up inside the system. This debris and corrosion can eventually damage the radiator or even the engine itself. To prevent this, have our service team regularly exchange the engine coolant..
