Which is a more effective way to test brake fluid, moisture or copper?
An independent study* reveals copper testing is 35 times more effective than moisture testing. The study tested brake fluid in 469 vehicles for boiling point and copper levels. Copper testing discovered a brake fluid flush was required for 208 of the 469 vehicles tested. Only six vehicles had a boiling point below the minimum wet DOT 3 boiling point for new brake fluid. In the bluntest terms, using any boiling point or moisture tester to sell a brake flush is a waste of your valuable time and resources. Let’s use the above test results as an example. For about $.50 per test, the Brake Strip™ copper test provides you the opportunity to sell 208 brake flushes. And using the Brake Strip™ system, you could experience results similar to what other Brake Strip™ users report, as much as $8,320 in brake flush sales. Now that’s a great return!
