What is a Brake Fluid Flush
A brake fluid flush and change is an important maintenance procedure for your car. This will ensure that your brakes are working at their best. Here are some things to keep in mind when performing a brake fluid flush and change:
– Make sure you have the correct brake fluid for your car. Jiffy Lube has a complete line of fluids designed specifically for your vehicle.
– Always use fresh brake fluid when performing a brake fluid flush and change. Discarded or stale brake fluid can damage your brakes.
– If you have replaced your brake pads or rotors recently, you should also perform a brake fluid flush and change before driving your car. Old brake pads and rotors can leave behind residual compounds that can cause problems with braking.

A brake fluid flush and change at Jiffy Lube typically includes a thorough cleaning of the braking system, refilling with new brake fluid, and a check for proper function of the brakes. This comprehensive service is essential to maintaining safe driving conditions.
How often should a brake fluid flush be performed
When it comes to your vehicle’s brakes, regular maintenance is key to prolonging their life. One of the simplest and most common brake maintenance tasks is a brake fluid flush. Here’s how often you should perform one:
-Every 7,500 miles
-Every three years, regardless of mileage
What to do if your car won’t start
If your car won’t start, the first thing you should do is check the battery. If it’s good, try to start the car by pressing the gas and the brake pedals at the same time. If you can’t start the car that way, you’ll need to try a different approach.
If you’ve tried all of these methods and your car still won’t start, your next step should be to check your brakes. Check to see if there’s any fluid on or around the brake pads. If there is, you’ll need to flush and change the brake fluid.
