Automotive Braking & Routine Fluid Maintenance
The brakes on your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram model rely on hydraulic brake fluid to transfer stopping power generated by the master cylinder into the brake pads and rotors where the energy is turned into the resistance that ultimately stops the vehicle. The brake system's performance reliability and safety come down to the condition and performance of the hydraulic brake fluid within. Since it is universal knowledge among certified technicians that brake fluid is prone to contamination and leaks, it requires routine inspections and exchange service when it loses integrity.
