GMC Brake Fluid Replacement in York, PA
Being able to bring your vehicle to a consistent and reliable halt is of utmost importance when it comes to your travels around York. Because of this, you should make sure that you stop by Jack Giambalvo Buick GMC when your brake fluid is no longer up to the task.
Purpose
Whenever you see a stop sign or red light, your first thought is likely to press on the brake pedal in order to slow down. This action results in a complex system of hydraulics springing into action, which ultimately leads to the brake pads pressing against the rotors to make your wheels stop. The liquid responsible for facilitating this process is brake fluid, and it is what allows you to transfer the force of your foot to your wheels. While this liquid is quite hardy and can last quite a while, it is still prone to damage over time. When this occurs, put off your next trip across Route 30 and visit our location instead!
Replacement Process
When you visit our Service Center, our team will recommend that you have your GMC vehicle’s brake fluid changed around every two years, or 30,000 miles. That’s because over time, it can become exposed to the open air, which results in the liquid beginning to crystallize. Alongside this, bubbles may form in the brake lines as well. Both of these instances lead to a reduced ability to bring your vehicle to a quick stop, and will both be addressed when our technicians drain the fluid from your system and replace it with a fresh batch. Afterward, you can return to making regular trips to York Ice Arena with little to no trouble.
Warning Signs
When your brake fluid is no longer able to get the job done, you’ll quickly notice this. For instance, your ability to halt your car will not feel as effective as it once used to. This may be paired with your brake pedal feeling spongy as well, leading to a less responsive output. Your check brake light may also become illuminated during this time as well, which will signify that you need to visit our location at your earliest convenience. Be sure to schedule an appointment beforehand!
