Baltimore & Cockeysville Auto Repair

Brake & Transmission Fluid Replacement in Baltimore and Cockeysville, MD

Your vehicle relies on various fluids throughout which allow its systems to work properly. Among these fluids include a couple of the most important - brake and transmission fluid. Both of these fluids can become contaminated or break down over time, in which case a replacement may be necessary. Here at Paul’s Automotive, we are the automotive experts in the area ready to assist when you find your brake fluid or transmission fluid needs to be changed.

Why Does My Vehicle Need a Transmission Fluid Change?

Transmission fluid is responsible for lubricating the internal parts of the transmission, otherwise referred to as the gearbox. Without proper lubrication, the gears will start to make metal-to-metal contact with one another, leading to part damage. Overheating can also occur, which can lead to transmission failure. Over time, transmission fluid can become dirty, broken down, and less effective, which is when a transmission fluid replacement is recommended.

Why Does My Vehicle Need a Brake Fluid Change?

Your vehicle’s brake system is hydraulic, meaning that it uses brake fluid to create the force needed to make the system work. Over time, brake fluid can become contaminated with moisture, which can lead to corrosion and the eventual deterioration of hydraulic parts. Having your brake fluid replacement according to manufacturer recommendations helps you reduce the risks associated with contaminated brake fluid and saves you money on repairs over time.

How Often Does My Vehicle Need a Transmission or Brake Fluid Exchange?

How often your vehicle will require certain fluid exchanges will depend upon a number of factors, including the make and model of your vehicle, age of your car, and your driving habits. Typically, the best source for this information is your vehicle’s manufacturer recommendations, which you can discover through the owner’s manual or at our shop.
