Brake Masters helps the YWCA ‘Put a Brake on Breast Cancer’

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

Brake Masters is more than a company.  Our employees have family, children, and friends.  We are more than just oil changes and brakes.  We are people, committed to helping other people.

This past October, our Albuquerque locations partnered with the YWCA Middle Rio Grande for a joint program called “Putting the Brakes on Breast Cancer.”  For that month, a percentage of all brake repair sales were given to the YWCA to help pay for Breast Cancer tests and treatment for local Albuquerque women in need.

We are grateful for the opportunity that the YMCA gave us to help.  We also are extremely happy with all of the lives that have been touched as a result of their tireless efforts to help all women receive the life-saving treatment they need.

Several women have already benefited from this partnership and nothing could be more gratifying than knowing that their needs are being taken care of.

At Brake Masters, we feel a commitment to give back and help the communities in which we operate.  With the support of our customers, we would like to continue to give back as much as possible.

In addition to the YMCA Middle Rio Grande, we would like to thank our customers their continued patronage.  Without their help, this would not have been possible.

Again, we would like to thank everyone involved and look forward to sharing our next community initiative soon.

Phoenix Transmission Flush: Is It Safe For Your Car?

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

If you regularly take your car in for oil changes, you’re bound to be told that your car needs a transmission fluid flush. There’s a lot of conflicting information out there on whether or not transmission flushes are safe for your vehicle.

A transmission fluid flush is a service that replaces your vehicle’s old transmission fluid with new fluid. A fluid flush is meant to prolong the life of the transmission and improve performance. Changing your vehicle’s transmission fluid every 30,000 to 50,000 miles will ensure that your vehicle is running smoothly.

We recommend taking your car to a reputable mechanic when considering a transmission fluid flush because flushes are a unique service. Transmission fluid flushes may not be the best thing for all vehicles. A reputable mechanic could help you determine whether or not this is the right service for your vehicle.

Transmission fluid flushes could cause damage to high-mileage vehicles that have never had a flush before. Build-up in the transmission that has accumulated over the lifetime of the vehicle could become dislodged and decrease performance and possibly even damage your transmission.

As a rule of thumb: If your high-mileage vehicle’s transmission fluid — which has never been changed — smells burnt, it’s probably not best to get a flush.

However, for low to medium mileage vehicles, it’s a good preventative measure to regularly flush your vehicle’s transmission fluid to prevent the buildup that could later cause damage to your vehicle. Regularly getting an Albuquerque transmission flush or a Phoenix transmission flush can add years to your vehicle’s transmission.
