Driving a Tesla is not just fun – it’s a lot less maintenance. But one maintenance item remains unchanged – brake fluid replacement. Even though Tesla recommends replacing brake fluid every four years, we highly recommend regular brake fluid checks. Once a year is a good idea – because brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, so over time, the amount of water in the brake fluid increases, until it starts to impact braking distance. In severe cases (which are admittedly pretty rare), it can cause brake failure. Considering that brakes are the primary safety system of your vehicle, yearly brake fluid checks are not a high price to pay for the peace of mind. Our technicians can visually inspect the brake fluid, as well as test it for water content – if the content exceeds recommended range, we will advise brake fluid change.
So whether you recently purchased a pre-owned Tesla, or it’s been a faithful companion for years, bring it to TechZone in Concord to have the brake fluid checked – our friendly service advisors will make you feel at home, while our mechanics check the quality of the brake fluid. We can also rotate your Tesla’s tires while you are at the shop – Tesla recommends tire rotation every 6250 miles – so roughly every 6 months. Call us to make an appointment.
