Brake Fluid Change paid for at the appointment

What is a brake fluid change?

A brake fluid change is a crucial maintenance task for your vehicle, ensuring that your braking system functions effectively.

Over time, brake fluid can absorb moisture, leading to a decrease in its boiling point and potentially causing brake failure under heavy use.

Here's what you need to know about a brake fluid change:

Importance: Regularly changing your brake fluid helps maintain optimal brake performance and prevents corrosion within the braking system.

Process: During a brake fluid change, the old fluid is drained, the system is flushed to remove contaminants, and new fluid is added. This process ensures that your brakes respond accurately and safely.

Frequency: It's generally recommended to change your brake fluid every two years or 24,000 miles, but you should consult your vehicle's manual for specific guidance.

Ensuring your brake fluid is in good condition is essential for your vehicle's safety and performance, making it a key part of routine maintenance.

Frequent Asked Questions

When should brake fluid be changed?

Brake fluid should be changed approximately every 2 years, although you should follow the specific recommendations in your vehicle's handbook.

What happens if you don't change brake fluid?

If you do not change your brake fluid, this can lead to a decrease in the braking performance, reduced responsiveness and even damage to crucial brake components.

Can I change the brake fluid myself?

Brake fluid replacement is a specialised task that requires proper equipment and expertise. It's recommended to have a trained mechanic complete this service to ensure it's done correctly.

What are the signs of needing brake fluid?

Signs include warning lights on your dashboard, spongy or unresponsive brakes and brake fluid that appears discoloured or contaminated.

How many years does brake fluid last?

While a general guideline is every 2 years, the lifespan of brake fluid can vary. Refer to your vehicle's handbook for manufacturer-specific recommendations.
