Jeep Brake Fluid Service

Jeep Brake Fluid Service

An important vehicle upkeep task that you’ll want to perform on your Jeep on an as-needed basis is a brake fluid service. When it comes time to do so, leave it to the professional hands of the staff over at our Service Department here at Taylor Chrysler Jeep Dodge. If you want to learn more about the procedural aspect of this maintenance item, read below. And if you have questions about it, direct them to us during our business hours!

Overview

Let’s begin by going over what brake fluid is and how it functions within your Compass model. The liquid in question is located within an opaque reservoir that sits atop your master cylinder, and it is usually composed of a glycol-ether based solution. The purpose of the fluid is to transfer the force that you used to press on the brake pedal to the brakes themselves, which is released through the master cylinder into the lines. Though there are a lot of moving components during this procedure, you’ll notice that it happens instantaneously when you want to bring your vehicle to a full stop along Main Street Northwest. Despite the antioxidants that help prolong the lifespan of the liquid, brake fluid is subject to wearing down over time. 

Warning Signs

As you can expect, your Grand Cherokee vehicle will make you aware when your brake fluid begins to go awry. One that may be immediately evident when you hit traffic while on your way to the Children’s Safety Center Park is a pedal that feels slightly spongier than it should be. This is an indicator of the fact that you need some of this liquid replenished, which we would be happy to do when you make an appointment with our service team! You should also pay attention to the latent performance of your brakes, as that may point to the degradation of this flowing substance. One other red flag is a recent illumination of your ABS dashboard light, which could point to less-than-ideal fluid in your reservoir. 

Brake Fluid Service

When you do happen to need a brake fluid service performed, the trained technicians at our location will be happy to assist. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for a concrete maintenance interval for the aforementioned task, but you can expect to have it done every 45,000 miles or so. Once it’s arrived at our service bay, they’ll inspect your brake lines to see if they’re leaking liquid, as this could contribute to burning through more of it than is warranted. Then, they’ll likely perform a brake fluid exchange, which involves removing the old substance and replacing it with a fresh batch. If you’ve identified some of the warning signs listed above or are approaching the mileage point for your next brake fluid service, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

It was a great experience buying a car from Taylor CDJR. The overall experience was the best I’ve had buying a new car. It was the fastest and most upfront With Options and flexibility To get the deal done. Jessica, who initiated contact was wonderful and Brandon was awesome from the first text And Got answers to all my questions. He really made it easy to know what the car value was and worked with me on my trade-in. Highly recommend Brandon if you go to there to get a new car or used car, good guy. Cody, the finance professional laid out everything nice and clear. Tori helped to set up the app and made sure that I didn’t have any questions about the vehicle. I would highly recommend purchasing your vehicle at Taylor CDJR.

Wonderful experience! So kind even after I accidentally emailed the owner Jim, he was more than happy to help. It was a rainy day and they pulled the car inside to check it out without getting soaked. No hidden fees. Cody had the paperwork ready to go when I arrived. I maybe spent an hour total there. I drove 3 hours to buy my dream car and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Drove an hour to this dealership because of the good reviews and we were not disappointed. Would highly recommend. From the initial call with Ashlyn, from the salesman Cody was exceptional and felt no pressure to buy. Also worked with Craig, who was honest and didn't try to sell on stuff we didn't need. Frank was awesome, spending a good amount of time to go over the cars features and answering all of my questions. Thank you Taylor Jeep
