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!

Welcome aboard!]]> http://www.hollandcarcare.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry100114-110301 Mark Thu, 14 Jan 2010 18:03:01 GMT http://www.hollandcarcare.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry090331-143229
Tires can lose 1 psi (pounds per square inch) per month under normal driving conditions. Additionally tires can lose 1 psi for every 10 degrees temperature drop...

10 months - net effect can mean your tires are 10lbs low....not good!

Low pressure increases heat dramatically....This can be a good reason for unexplained blow outs, with a perfectly good tire....I think you get the picture.

Buy a good tire gauge and take control. Consult the manufacturers recommended inflation chart and adjust as necessary. Check tire pressures cold not hot.

Most people have know idea how to check tread depth. Place a penny in the tire tread groove. if you can see Lincolns head, replace the tire....

Some vehicles (especially Mercedes) have inner tire wear that is very difficult to see....Do not assume your tires are good by only looking at 1/2 the tread face.

Hope these tips are useful

Happy Driving]]> http://www.hollandcarcare.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry090331-143229 Mark Tue, 31 Mar 2009 21:32:29 GMT
