Fluid Flushes

Fluid Flush Services Available

Keep Your Vehicle in Excellent Condition

A fluid flush refers to the process of removing old fluid from a vehicle's system and replacing it with new fluid that helps to maintain the vehicle's performance and extend the life of its components. This is a comprehensive service that removes virtually all of the old fluid and any built-up contaminants within the system.

Fluid flushes are part of regular vehicle maintenance and are often recommended at certain mileage intervals or when the fluid shows signs of contamination or degradation. It's important to consult the owner's manual or a professional mechanic to determine the appropriate service intervals for fluid flushes with your make and model.

Automotive Fluids & Their Importance

There are several types of fluid flush services, including:

• Brake Fluid Flush: Over time, brake fluid can absorb moisture, which can lead to reduced braking performance and corrosion of brake system components. A brake fluid flush involves removing the old fluid from the brake lines and replacing it with fresh fluid.
• Coolant Flush (Radiator Flush): This involves draining the old coolant from the radiator, flushing the cooling system with water or a cleaning solution to remove buildup and contaminants, and then refilling the system with new coolant.
• Differential & Transfer Case Fluid Flush: For vehicles with four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, these components may also require fluid flushes to maintain proper lubrication and function.
• Engine Oil Flush: While not as common as a regular oil change, an engine oil flush involves cleaning the internal engine components by adding a cleaning solution to the oil, running the engine for a short period, and then draining the oil and replacing it with fresh oil.
• Power Steering Fluid Flush: This service removes old or contaminated power steering fluid and replaces it with fresh fluid, which can help maintain the steering system's performance and prevent wear.
• Transmission Fluid Flush: This process removes old transmission fluid and replaces it with new fluid. Unlike a simple drain and fill, a flush aims to replace nearly all of the old fluid, often using a machine to push out the old fluid and replace it with new.
