Fluid exchange services

Use the right fluid for the right system.

Call to schedule

What’s included

Coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid and other vehicle fluids have different jobs and maintenance requirements. Service should follow the manufacturer’s specification and procedure. An advisor can review your maintenance history and inspect for leaks before recommending an exchange.

  • Review the history

    Compare your maintenance records and mileage with the recommended service schedule.

  • Confirm the procedure

    Ask which fluid specification and service method apply to your vehicle.

  • Address the cause

    Leaks or operating symptoms may require diagnosis rather than only new fluid.

How it works

Fluid maintenance should match the system and the manufacturer’s procedure. Review what has already been serviced, what is due and whether a leak or operating symptom needs diagnosis before an exchange is performed.

  1. A technician drawing a fluid sample with a syringe

    Step 1: Check the fluid

    Fluid level and condition are checked, and your records show what has already been done.
  2. Old brake fluid flowing through a clear tube from a caliper

    Step 2: The right procedure

    Each system has its own method. Brake fluid, for example, is replaced by bleeding it through each caliper.
  3. A technician refilling a fluid reservoir

    Step 3: The specified fluid

    The system is refilled with the fluid your manufacturer specifies and checked for leaks.
