Expert Fluid Flush Services in Des Moines, WA
Oil is not the only fluid your vehicle needs!
You know that you need to bring your vehicle in every 3 months or 3,000 miles to get your oil changed. But do you know when you need to bring it in for a transmission fluid change, brake fluid change, cooling system flush or power steering fluid flush?
Oil is not the only fluid your vehicle needs to keep it running safely and reliably!
Your vehicle’s brake fluid system is designed to transfer the pressure at the brake pedal to hydraulic pressure, which is used to compress the brake components.
- Brake fluid is hydroscopic – it absorbs moisture, and moisture destroys expensive parts
- Moisture also causes brake fluid to boil at a lower temperature, affecting braking
- A brake fluid flush removes corrosive metals from the brake system
- It’s much less expensive to change the fluid than some very expensive parts
How often should I get it done?
Every 2 years or 24,000 miles. We test the brake fluid on every visit and when the contamination becomes a problem, we will recommend a brake fluid flush.
Having a Brake Fluid Flush every 24,000 miles will help ensure that your braking system lives a long and healthy life, providing you with optimum braking power, reliability and safety. And with our value pricing and quick servicing we get you back on the road quickly at a great price!

Your vehicle’s automatic transmission system is designed to transfer power from the engine to the wheels at a consistent level. Transmission fluid is subject to tremendous amounts of heat and wear and it fails over time as the viscosity changes.
- Replaces the friction modifiers of tranmission fluid, which are depleted over time
- Lengthens the life of the seals and clutches
- Removes the worn clutch material that forms over time
- Flushes transmission cooler, torque converter and valve body
