- You see puddles of yellow fluid under your car
- You hear squealing, screeching, grinding, or thumping sounds
- The brake pedal goes nearly to the floorboard before engaging

What About Brake Fluid? Do I Need To Change It?
You can, but it’s best to have a BRAKEmax brake technician do the job. Brake fluid is toxic and can damage your car’s paint job.
You can, however, check the level of brake fluid in your car or truck. Here’s how:
- Find the reservoir for the fluid on the master cylinder.
- If the fluid is dark or muddy, it needs to be changed.
- If the fluid is near the line that indicates minimum levels, get it changed.
