Will the dealership test drive the car after changing the brake fluids?

Consider having some one else do the job and I don't mean some chain francize!

They will know before they take the car off the rack if the brakes are working. Just backing it off the ramp and parking it outside the building will tell if the brakes are good.

Honestly if the car has very many miles on it more then likely it needs pads and/or shoes any way. We all have different driving styles, the brakes on my wife's car are lucky to last one year. By the time the pads and shoes are changed, the brakes bled the car has gotten the brake fluid changed. My car gets the brakes done every two years, not because they are worn out but because I want new brakes just because. My Dad could get five years out of a brake job. So maybe you need a complete brake job and not just a fluid change.

They should

of course

Most of the time the mechanics will test drive the car as part of the repair and maybe see if there is any additional issues that may become a problem!

They should check the brakes and put it back on the lift to look for leaks.

You are tight to change the fluid as it takes in water and becomes less effective. The water also leads to corrosion in the brakes.

The key to a long lasting reliable car is good maintenance.

Yes. Any time the brakes are serviced or repaired, the car SHOULD be driven to make sure that everything is working properly. That's part of a routine safety check.

they should. we always road test the car after repairs are done to make sure everything is O.K

They will know just by taking it out of the shop.

Any mechanic had better test drive a vehicle after working on the brakes. Personally I wouldn't even be changing the brake fluid on a 3 year old car.

If you want to do some preventive maintenance make sure to change the transmission ATF every 60,000 miles.

They'll test it on a rolling road; so that if the brakes don't work - nobody is killed.

Only a moron would take a car for a test drive to check if the brakes are working.

Would you shoot yourself in the chest to see if a bullet-proof vest worked?
