FAQs

What is Brake Fluid?

Car brakes on your car 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?

This varies from car to car, but most manufacturers suggest that you should book a brake fluid replacement every 2 years.

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. Furthermore, 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.

What are the Possible Signs That a Car Needs a Brake Fluid Replacement?

• If the brakes on a car feel in any way as though they are not functioning correctly.
• When the car’s brakes are spongy when pressed.
• When fluid is new, it has a light amber colour to it, so that is what to look out for.
• As the light amber fluid darkens, which is a sign of contamination, the need to change it increases.
• If the fluid ever becomes darker than brown, or even black, then it should be changed immediately.

What Happens If You Don't Change Your Brake Fluid?

If you don't replace your brake fluid at regular intervals, your car's brakes won't work properly. This will increase your stopping distances and make it harder for you to avoid an accident. Not only that, but if the brake fluid is contaminated, it may reach its boiling point quicker. This results in you 'losing' your brakes and being unable to slow down or stop at all.

To ensure your car is safe and roadworthy, you must book a brake fluid replacement near you whenever necessary, either through age or by noticing one of the warning signs above.

How Long Does it Take to Change Brake Fluid?

• A specialist technician can replace brake fluid in around 15-30 minutes, depending on the vehicle.

How Much Does Brake Fluid Cost?

• The fluid is relatively inexpensive, certainly compared to the cost of many other brake repairs. That means it’s important to keep an eye on it.
• The cost can vary from vehicle to vehicle but usually costs between £50 and £80. We found that the average brake fluid replacement cost on our online comparison site is £53.90.
