Warning Signs to Look For

If you notice any of the following warning signs, then booking a brake fluid replacement is exactly what your car needs:

  • An illuminated ABS light
  • Pushing the brake pedal is more difficult
  • The brake pedal goes right to the floor
  • The brake pedal feels soft
  • You hear strange noises when braking
  • You smell burning after heavy braking
  • A dark, slick leak under your car

 

It could take a technician as little as 15 minutes to replace your car's brake fluid, so why wait to sort yours out?

 

Why Should I Book a Brake Fluid Replacement for My Car?

Looking for further incentive to book your car's brake fluid replacement?

Your car's brake fluid will naturally absorb moisture from the atmosphere over time, which can lower the fluid's boiling point and increase the chances of brake failure.

Booking a timely brake fluid change ensures that your braking system is working well, keeping you safe as you drive.

Not to mention that a brake repair will cost you more than a fluid change, so it pays to be proactive about your car's health.

 

A brake fluid change is a job for a professional - and when you need to find the right one to take care of your car, we're here to help.

Read real customer reviews of local garages to find one that meets your needs, knowing you won't even have to pay until the work is complete.

It really couldn't be easier to find an accomplished garage in your area to change your car's brake fluid.

Frequently asked questions

What is brake fluid?

Your car's brakes use fluid pressure to work.

When a car’s brake pedal is pushed, a plunger in the brake’s master cylinder pressurises the brake fluid that resides in the hoses and pipes to make the other components of the braking system move.

How long does brake fluid last?

Most manufacturers suggest that you should book a brake fluid replacement every 2 years or 24,000 miles.

This can vary depending on the make and model, the quality of the brake fluid and your driving style.

Although the fluid is in a sealed system, moisture can still find its way in. It corrodes components over time and decreases the fluid's boiling point, causing the brake pedal to go soft.

As the internal components of the braking system wear out, debris contaminates the fluid, jamming everything up. This impacts how well the brakes function, particularly in stop-start traffic and under heavy braking.

We recommend checking your vehicle handbook to find your manufacturer's recommended brake fluid change interval.

How do you check a car's brake fluid?

To check your car's brake fluid, you need to find the brake fluid reservoir - which should be located under the bonnet on the master cylinder, but you can refer to your owner's manual for more information.

As you check the brake fluid level, it should be between the minimum and maximum lines - if it is close to the minimum line, then you should book a professional brake fluid replacement right away.

You should also book a brake fluid replacement if the fluid looks dark brown or black. The darker and dirtier the brake fluid is, the less effective it will be.

What happens during a brake fluid change?

During a brake fluid change (which is also known as a brake flush or brake fluid replacement) the old liquid is removed and replaced with a fresh solution.

A mechanic will open the bonnet of your car and find the fluid reservoir, before using a siphon or transfer pump to remove the old fluid.

The mechanic can then refill the reservoir with the clean solution.

What do the Tier badges mean?

We recognise the very best performing garages in your area with a Silver, Gold or Top Tier badge. These badges help you spot garages that deliver customer service that goes above and beyond for drivers, offering great value, high standards and satisfaction/high ratings.

When do I pay for my appointment?

We never ask for payment details upfront.

Once you’ve chosen your garage, you deal with them directly from start to finish, paying only after the work is complete – giving you full peace of mind.

Some mobile technicians may request some commitment or payment upfront to cover the costs of them coming out to you.

Can I compare garages another way?

Absolutely. True value looks different to everyone so, whether you want the nearest garage, the best-rated option or the lowest price, you can use the Sort By menu in the top-right corner to compare results by Price, Distance, Availability or Reviews - whatever matters most to you.

How do I reschedule my appointment?

You can change your booking details right up until the appointment date. You’ll find instructions in the confirmation email you received or in your BookMyGarage account. Your chosen garage will contact you to acknowledge the amendment and re-confirm your booking.

What does ‘BMG Verified’ mean?

Garages marked as BMG Verified have been physically visited by our team and meet our clear service level agreement standards for ratings and reliability.

Why do some garages have lower prices than others?

Garages set their own prices to deliver great value for every driver, based on their location, costs and special offers. We show every price upfront, so you can decide what represents the best value for you without any hidden fees or surprises.

Is the cheapest option always the best?

The best option for you will depend on your priorities. That’s why we show prices, ratings, availability, distance and everything else you need to find the right value for you, not just the lowest price.

How do you decide which garages to show me first?

We recommend the garages we deem most relevant for you based on your selected product, postcode and the reviews of garages in your area, prioritising BMG Verified and Silver, Gold and Top Tier garages for added peace of mind.

You can change your filters anytime if one factor is more important to you than others – full transparency, full control.
