Does Your Vehicle Have A
Low Brake Fluid Level?

Have you noticed your vehicle has a low brake fluid level? A very low fluid level can indicate a leak in the brake system.

It might not be all bad news, however. As the brake pads wear and become thinner, fluid takes the place of the worn friction material. So a low fluid level could just tell you that the pads are worn down and need to be replaced. The brake fluid will rise back up when new brake pads are installed.
