Brake Shop Near Northern NJ
I'm pretty sure my brake fluid boiled after a few hard runs tonight , so anyone have any recommendations of a good brake shop ?I just need to get a flush with a higher boiling point fluid and don't have the time or tools to do it myself .

If you were closer I'd help you out, I ran super blue in all my previous cars, just wondering but how the hell did you cook your fluid? lol

AZP Installs in Kenilworth should be able to do the flush.
Are you sure you cooked the fluid? Symptoms?

Any shop in the area can do it.
AZP Installs, Broken Motorsports, Akuma Motorsports, etc. I'm also curious as to how or why you think you boiled your brakes. |

I made an appointment with AZP since it was closest to my job/school . This all was caused by me just being curious of the limits of this car , I have had it for exactly 2 months today and already have 8.5k miles (yes I drive ALOT lol) . So, there is this road/state park in NY that i drive through a few times a week plenty of turns and mini hills ,usually without using the brakes at all . Something came over me to go faster and use the brakes . (It was very late and there's plenty of time to slow down if someone is oncoming .) Towards the end of the road it splits and there is a 3/4 mile straight one way downhill and as I was slowing down to merge onto the highway my brake pedal went totally soft and the car smelled like burning brakes bad .By the time i got home about 30min drive at 60mph the pedal was not soft but still not as firm as before this .Today while driving I notice that the brakes work fine I just have to modulate them more than before and the pedal is squishy feeling .
