Imagine you’re driving down a rainy street during a St. Louis thunderstorm. You’re momentarily distracted by a flash of lightning and a very close thunder, and as you look back to the road, you realize that traffic has stopped up ahead. You slam your feet on the brakes; can you trust your brakes to keep you and your loved ones safe? Here at Suntrup Volkswagen, we want you to be able to trust your brakes, and we keep you safe through our brake fluid exchange services.
While we work on your brakes, you can treat yourself to our convenient customer service. That means you can visit our kiosk for easy check-in, and you can use our free Wi-Fi and enjoy our flat-screen TVs while you wait. Our complimentary beverage and coffee bar will keep you seated throughout your wait, and when you get your car back it’ll be washed and have a complimentary multi-point inspection report waiting for you. We go above and beyond so that your service is top-notch, using only genuine OEM parts with every service and repair.
Old brake fluid is not a pretty sight. It can be full of contaminants and by-products of the brake fluid aging, which thickens up the fluid and seriously reduces your car’s ability to brake. Since brakes use a hydraulic system to press the brake pads against the rotor, the pressure is everything. There’s a big difference between compressing water and compressing thick goo, and that means that your brake fluid needs to be exchanged to keep you safe. At Suntrup Volkswagen, we’ll make sure your brakes are goo-free, ensure the rest of your braking system and brake pads are in good condition, and your braking power will be at 100%.
Some mechanics take a hands-off approach to brake fluid exchanges, letting your contaminants and degradation by-products accumulate for years before they’ll exchange your brake fluid. Our experts recommend a slightly more vigilant approach: every 20,000 miles or every two years, a brake fluid exchange will maximize your safety while minimizing your braking power loss. You can also check your owner’s manual to see exactly what Volkswagen recommends for your car.
Our online scheduler gives you the power of choice. You can set up a time within our extended hours that work best for you, and we’ll make sure to have our service department ready and waiting for your car’s brake fluid exchange. Our expert technicians are the best at what they do, and they’ve got the certification to prove it! Come get your brake fluid exchanged at Suntrup Volkswagen, and we’ll rest easy knowing your car is safe and stops perfectly. Be sure to check our rotating service and parts specials!
