Lexus Brake Fluid Service near Alexandria, VA

Brake fluid is an essential component of a Lexus vehicle. Without it, you may experience problems while driving in Alexandria. This guide from Pohanka Lexus provides important information about brake fluid service.

The Purpose of Brake Fluid

The braking system includes parts such as calipers, pads, and rotors. Brake fluid helps prevent corrosion from weather, time, and grime, and ensures the brake pedal has sufficient pressure when stopping or slowing down. It is transferred through aluminum, steel, or durable synthetic rubber tubes. Brake fluid also supports the ABS system, ensuring responsive stopping power whether initiated manually or automatically by your Lexus ES 350.

If you want to check your brake fluid levels before a trip to Loftridge Park, we recommend having it evaluated. The typical lifespan of brake fluid is about 45,000 miles or 24 months. When approaching these metrics, consider replacing the fluid to maintain its effectiveness. Waiting too long can lead to braking issues and potential corrosion.

Warning Signs

Warning lights for ABS or brakes may illuminate on your dashboard. If you notice these signs, schedule an appointment online for service.
