When you order new tyres, these are paid for at the time of your order. However, brake fluid changes are separate from your order with Blackcircles.com. You will therefore need to pay for this additional service at the garage - on the day of your appointment.
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.
When selecting this service, fully trained mechanics will remove your car's current brake fluid, before refilling with a new one - following the correct specification as set out by your car's manufacturer.
Brake fluid should be changed approximately every 2 years, although you should follow the specific recommendations in your vehicle's handbook.
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.
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.
Signs include warning lights on your dashboard, spongy or unresponsive brakes and brake fluid that appears discoloured or contaminated.
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.
