We all know the importance of preventative maintenance and staying on track with manufacturer recommended maintenance. A large part of those schedules focus on fluid flush services to keep your vehicle running like new. At R&S Auto in North York, we are one of the best repair shops that can help you with all of your vehicle maintenance, such as fresh fluid with a fluid flush service!
There are a number of fluids in your car that are working to support your vehicle while operating to keep all components running smoothly. This includes transmission fluid, motor oil, brake fluid and engine coolant just to name a few. After a certain period of time these fluids need to be drained and replaced in your vehicle, which is called a Fluid Flush. Having fluid checked and flushed or changed on a regular schedule is a great way to help prevent engine damage on your vehicle.
An oil change is arguably the most common type of fluid change services customers get on a regular basis. Our trained technicians recommend having your oil changed twice per year depending on your vehicle and driving habits.
When we perform an oil change on your vehicle we will remove the current used oil in your engine and replace it with fresh, clean oil. Over time with driving your oil can break down and become dirty. Replacing the engine oil will ensure no dirt or debris is being pushed through the engine which may cause performance problems. During this service we will also replace any filters required.

Regardless if you have an automatic transmission or a manual transmission having a transmission flush is just as important. Transmission fluid is used to lubricate, clean and keep cool the internal components of your vehicles transmission. The transmission in your vehicle has a job to transfer power from the engine to the wheels. If you experiencing your vehicle stalling when going up a steep incline, you may require transmission service.

Your brakes are a major safety component of your vehicle, and need to be in working order at all times. Having your brakes checked, and a brake flush service will help ensure your safety.

A coolant flush is referring to the engine coolant in your vehicle. It is responsible for regulating your engines temperature. During this vehicle maintenance service we will check the radiator, water pump, thermostat and other components of the cooling system that use the coolant to ensure they are all functioning properly. Frequency of an engine coolant flush can vary, so it is recommended to check your owner’s manual, or call to speak to a qualified technician.

Power steering fluid is meant to help provide a smooth steering experience for drivers by lubricating the power steering systems. Although this fluid typically remains functioning and intact for a longer period of time, it is possible for particles to build up and negatively affect the control you have as a driver of the vehicle. Have your power steering fluid checked every 50,000km and our trained technicians can advise if your vehicle requires a power steering flush or not.
