What is a brake system flush all about?

Brake fluid is essential for the operation of a car’s brakes. When you push the brake pedal, the brake fluid causes the brake pads to press against the rotors, making the car slow down and stop. Over time, the brake fluid absorbs air, moisture, sludge and other contaminants and gets contaminated. Air in the brake fluid causes braking to feel spongy and significantly reduces braking efficiency. A brake system flush includes removing the existing fluid and moisture out of the system and replacing it with new, clean, fluid. A brake fluid flush ensures proper brake system performance and increases the lifespan of your brake system components.

Keep in mind:

A mobile mechanic will use a hand-held vacuum pump and/or atmospheric pressure to remove the fluid. While it is not as powerful as a pressure bleeder, this is an industry approved method of bleeding your brakes. It gets the job done and provides the convenience of a mechanic coming to you.

How it's done:

Remove contaminated brake fluid
Add new brake fluid
Bleed the brakes
Clean any surfaces where brake fluid has spilled during the bleeding process
Check for fluid leaks
Inspect brake pads, rotors and hoses
Test drive car

Our recommendation:

Please follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule and guidelines regarding fluid maintenance. It is a good practice to change brake fluid every 24,000 miles or 36 months. Always use a fluid recommended by your vehicles manufacturer (do not use silicone based brake fluids if your car needs regular brake fluid).

What common symptoms indicate you may need a brake system flush?

Brake fluid appears black or brown indicating contamination
Brake pedal feels spongy
Diminished brake system performance

How important is this service?

If you do not regularly flush your brake system, it will end up costing you more money down the road. As the fluid becomes contaminated, it will eventually cause brake system components to fail and leak. This will also lead to diminished brake system performance, causing a safety concern.

Buick Century V6-3.1L - Brake System Flush - Carrollton, Texas

2000 Buick Century My car would not start and I booked a appoinment with Your Mechanic.com and Jacob came out. I explained the problem and he checked it out and nothing serious ended up being wrong with my car just a simple battery drain, so he ended up rebooting the battery and my car started up again. However, he additional put in additonal fluids to help my car oustside the service that I needed. As well he detected a leak of oil and gave me a new oil filter free of charge that stopped the oil leak so it won't danage my motor later on. He also went in with me to the store and showed and guided me to what oil filter part I needed to purchase. He gave me advice on what type of oil ro use for my motor for my car ro keep it running smooth and tip top. He went above and beyond the service I need and the service he provided was extreme precise and promt attent on the situation and critcal care of my car. Would definately recommend him and being using his services again.
