🛢 What’s Included in a Fluid Check:

• Engine oil level and condition
• Coolant/antifreeze inspection
• Brake fluid clarity and level
• Transmission fluid check (where accessible)
• Power steering fluid
• Windshield washer fluid
• Visual inspection for fluid leaks

⚠️ Why Fluid Checks Are So Important:

• Catch Leaks Early: Even a small drip can become a major issue

‍

1. Why are fluid inspections important?

Every fluid in your vehicle protects a major system. Catching low, dirty, or leaking fluids early prevents breakdowns, overheating, and expensive repairs. It’s one of the simplest forms of preventative maintenance.

‍

2. How often should I have my fluids inspected?

We recommend a quick fluid inspection at every oil change, or every 3,000–5,000 miles. Arizona heat accelerates fluid breakdown, making frequent checks more important.

‍

3. Which fluids do you check during a fluid inspection?

We inspect all major fluids, including:

• Engine oil
• Coolant
• Brake fluid
• Transmission fluid
• Power steering fluid
• Differential & transfer case fluids (if applicable)
• Windshield washer fluid

‍

4. What are signs that my fluids need attention?

Look for:

• Dashboard warning lights
• Visible leaks
• Overheating
• Strange smells (sweet, burnt, or chemical)
• Rough shifting
• Poor braking response

Any of these signs mean it’s time to check your fluids ASAP.

‍

5. Can low or dirty fluids damage my engine or transmission?

Yes — severely.
Running low on coolant can lead to engine overheating, while dirty transmission fluid can cause slipping or failure. Fluid inspections are fast and inexpensive compared to the repairs they prevent.

‍

6. Why do fluids break down faster in Arizona?

Because of:

• Extreme heat
• Stop-and-go traffic
• Dust and debris
• Long periods of idling or AC use

Arizona is hard on vehicles — fluids degrade much faster here than in cooler states.

‍

7. Do hybrid and electric vehicles still need fluid inspections?

Yes! Hybrids and EVs still require:

• Coolant checks
• Brake fluid inspections
• Gearbox or reduction fluid checks (depending on model)

We service traditional, hybrid, and select EV fluid systems.
