Brake System Exchange

Brake fluid naturally attracts moisture. Excessive moisture in the brake system lowers the ability of the fluid to perform correctly. This has been known to cause brake fade or system failure during stop-and-go traffic, any down hill braking, or in the worst case, the "panic stop". Moisture is also a contributing factor for brake component corroding, causing premature replacement of expensive brake components.

Most import manufacturers recommend the replacement of brake fluid during normal vehicle maintenance as well as some domestic lines.

A complete brake system exchange service sold with every brake service will increase hours per repair order and your effective labor rate.

The Problem

Brake fluid comes under extreme pressure and heat as well as it is hygroscopic. This means that the fluid actually attracts water. These three things can cause decreased performance and or failure of the brake system in a vehicle. Moisture contamination causes the boiling point of fluid to drop, causes corrosion on internal metal parts, and degrades seals on the brake system. Studies have shown that by the time a new car is only 18 months old, its brake fluid contains 3% water. This is enough water in the brake fluid to lower its boiling point by 25%.

When the fluid breaks down from water, pressure and heat it loses its ability to keep internal and external seals conditioned. This can cause premature seal failure, which causes brake fluid leaks from calipers, wheel cylinders, and even the master cylinder. This can even cause the brake hoses to fail. Corrosion to metal parts from contaminated brake fluid can cause caliper or wheel cylinder failure.

The Solution

1) First, we push out all the old deteriorated fluid from the brake system with a special pressurized machine.

2) We then put in all new ZAK Brake fluid. This replaces 100% of the fluid and prevents premature failure of seals and metal parts in the brake system.
