When it comes to brake safety - we don't stop - so you can when you really need to.

Its really essential to maintain clean, good condition Brake Fluid. Water can accumulate in the fluid which decreases braking efficiency and also increases the the risk of corrosion of individual brake system components.

Clean brake fluid not only protects your safety it also prolongs the life of your braking system components by preventing corrosion.

Cost of a brake fluid flush may change according to vehicle type, any additional repairs required and parts needed to complete the task. While we have your vehicle on the hoist, for your safety we will also check the calipers, wheel cylinders, brake hoses, brake lines, and master cylinder for any faults or signs of wear that need to be addressed and advise you of any problems if necessary.

If you would like to know costs - give our friendly staff a call to discuss your car and get a quote. If during the procedure we do notice something that needs extra attention that will affect our quote we will always call you to confirm before proceeding.

We put the car up on the hoist and take off the wheels, the next step is removing the existing fluid from the master cylinder. Then the cylinder is filled with fresh new, quality brake fluid of the correct type. Next, the brakes are 'bled' and the clean fluid flushes through the system, completely replacing the old. We will also check over your brake system for any signs of damage or wear that needs attention and advise you if necessary.

A brake fluid flush can be done as part of a scheduled service - but sometimes we may suggest you need one outside of a regular schedule if we feel it's necessary. We are always happy to discuss the reasons why with you.

Old brake fluid can still look clean - that doesn't make it safe. When there is water in the brake fluid, you might not see it, but it still makes it more likely to boil. Boiling fluid can cause loss of braking pressure. A visual inspection is not always going to tell you if there is dangerous amounts of water in your brake fluid, only a professional boiling point test can tell you this.

The standard recommendation for a brake fluid flush schedule is every two years, but your vehicles manufacturer log book may have a different schedule set out - but it is important to note that these are recommendations only and so it is safest to have a trained mechanic evaluate the condition of your brake fluid on a regular basis.
