Fluid Services in Kemah

Fluid services replace the fluids your vehicle needs once they wear out or get contaminated. Oil gets most of the attention, but several other fluids do jobs that are just as important, and each one has its own service interval.

The fluids we check

• Engine oil: keeps internal parts from wearing against each other.
• Transmission fluid: lubricates, cools and lets the transmission shift.
• Coolant: keeps the engine from overheating and protects against corrosion.
• Brake fluid: carries the force from the pedal to the brakes. It absorbs moisture over time.
• Power steering fluid: on vehicles with hydraulic power steering.
• Differential and transfer case fluid: on rear wheel, four wheel and all wheel drive vehicles.
• Washer fluid: so you can clear the windshield when you need to.

Why fluids wear out

Heat breaks fluids down, and their additives get used up. Some fluids pick up moisture or tiny bits of metal from normal wear. A fluid can look fine and still be past its service life, which is why schedules go by miles and time.

How we handle it

We check each fluid's level and condition and compare it to your vehicle's maintenance schedule. You'll know which ones are due, which aren't, and why. We use the fluid type your vehicle specifies, and nothing gets done until you approve it.
