Critical Brake Service Maintenance
When it comes to maintaining the quality of your exotic vehicle and your safety, there is nothing more important than servicing your car. Regularly servicing your exotic can also save you a lot of money. It helps prevent you from spending a lot of money on costly repairs, as small problems will be picked up on at the earliest opportunity before they manifest into something bigger.
Regarding maintenance, a lot of people forget to check their brake fluid. With a brake system service, you can be sure that your technician will inspect your brakes thoroughly. They will look for any damaged rotors or excessively worn rotors, as well as corrosion, missing or loose hardware, abnormal wear patterns, and friction wear. However, a lot of inexperienced technicians may not check the brake fluid, which is the blood of your brake system, and is therefore, very important.
You are advised to replace your brake fluid every two years and get your brakes checked every year. Corrosion inhibitors are part of the brake fluid, which assist in protecting the interior of the brake system.
Certain types of brake fluids are hygroscopic. This means two per cent of moisture is absorbed per year. This degrades the inhibitors over time, causing less corrosion protection. This causes failed and corroded brake system parts and components. This highlights why it is so important to make sure that the mechanics you choose check your brake fluid as well.
