Brake fluid provides hydraulic pressure to actuate your brake system’s pistons and provide braking.
Brittain’s checks your brake fluid as part of our 18 point inspection. We will let you know if your break fluid needs changing. You should have your brake fluid changed if the pedal feels “spongy,” or if the brake lines are ever opened up during service. At Brittain’s we examine the brake fluid—it should be yellowish and translucent. If it looks dirty or contaminated, it’s probably due for a change.
Brittain’s checks your clutch fluid as part of our 18 point inspection. We will let you know if your clutch fluid needs changing.
If your clutch has been feeling “spongy” or doesn’t want to fully engage or disengage, you should let Brittain’s know and we will check the fluid levels.
Automatic transmissions have been known to operate smoothly for thousands of miles, which is why it is usually taken for granted by car owners. However, given its limited lifespan, it runs out one day and the resultant friction in the system hinders with the smooth functioning of the car. At Brittain’s we always check transmission fluid levels during our 18 point oil change inspection.
The drivetrain may include the differential, a transfer case (in four-wheel and all-wheel drive cars) and the transmission (see Transmission Services).
Our trained technicians will:
1. Remove old differential and or transfer case fluid
2. Replaced with new fluid that contains the correct additives to help keep the seals, gears, and bearings operating properly.
3. New fluid is added according to owner’s manual recommendations.
To keep your transmission running at top performance and efficiency changing the fluid can help prevent wear and tear on the transmission and will promote smoother shift operation and improved performance.
