Periodic flushing of the brake fluid is more important than ever on today's very sophisticated brake systems. Moisture buildup is the enemy! The brake master cyl., calipers, brake lines, accumulators and ABS pumps are seriously expensive components that you do not want to replace...A good general rule of thumb on the frequency for having your modern vehicle’s brake fluid flushed is to have it done every two years, especially on those vehicles equipped with antilock (ABS) braking systems. Years ago, prior to the advent of antilock (ABS) brakes, flushing the brake fluid was not as much of a concern. The more intricate fluid circuitry of the hydraulic control units on today’s antilock brake and traction-control equipped vehicles are much more sensitive to moisture and small particulate debris. Additionally, the actuation during braking or traction controlled events generate heat which further contributes to the breakdown of the brake fluid.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that $126.00 for a brake flush, every 2 years is excessive!
Happy Motoring!

We encourage the use of factory original brake parts when brake service is needed. Many large chains, tire shops, gas stations and small shops will use aftermarket brake parts on your car. The downside can be groaning, squeaking and grinding type noises that will drive you crazy! Not to mention accelerated wear, pulling problems and overheating of the brake rotors...Ask your shop of choice if they will install factory original brake parts, if not, do yourself a favor and find a good shop that will....Happy Motoring!Tuesday, August 10, 2010, 10:34 AM
It is not uncommon for an older car, with high mileage to fail a smog check due to high NOX levels...If the CO and HC levels are within specs. and the NOX are high, the root cause is generally the Catalytic Converter. We recommend installing factory Cat. Converters only. Aftermarket converters, even though cheaper will not last long and quite often, simply do not have the capacity to react....Happy motoring!Friday, May 14, 2010, 02:53 PM
BMW s are the some of the finest handling cars produced. The suspension needs and requires periodic maintenance, especially when the mileage is above 65,000.Control arm bushings are a very common wear item. These bushings, when worn will cause tire wear, looseness in the front suspension and will be noticed during braking, especially when coming to a complete stop. The entire wheel will move laterally a couple of inches. Being specialists we check these bushings and monitor wear at every service interval.Cheers!Thursday, April 22, 2010, 12:22 PM
