Generally, braking systems work with brake fluid and hoses connecting the master cylinder to each wheel’s brake. Pushing the pedal creates hydraulic pressure that sends fluid from the master cylinder through the hoses to the brakes.

To prevent damage from moisture entering the braking system and to assure reliable performance, your brake fluid should be changed periodically.

Regular brake service is a prevention against rust and corrosion and will help avoid more expensive repairs in the long run. Even if your brakes seem to be working well, an inspection could reveal potential problems that can be solved before any costly damages occur. Have your braking system regularly inspected by a NAPA AUTOPRO technician.
