Brake maintenance and repairs in Ocean Grove

Brake fluid transfers the pressure you put on the brake pedal through to the actual brakes.
Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work. As everyone knows - not having brakes is a huge problem! In fact even slightly affected brakes are very dangerous.


Brake fluid absorbs moisture very easily. Brake fluids are also subject to very high temperatures and so they are designed to have a high boiling point to stop them from boiling and evaporating- when brake fluid has accumulated too much moisture- this lowers its boiling point and it can boil off more easily causing low levels. Low levels of brake fluid affect your braking performance and could mean your car will fail to stop.
Brake Fluid that has absorbed too much moisture will also shorten the life of your braking system including damaging the callipers, wheel cylinders and anti-lock braking systems.

Why is brake fluid replacement necessary?

Your manufacturer's log book will advise how regularly your brake fluid should be changed or flushed, we recommend a drain and replacement every two years however it is wise to have it regularly checked by an expert at every service to make sure the levels are not reducing too fast (a sign of a leak) or that the moisture levels have not reached a point that could be damaging your system.

How often should I replace my brake fluid?

At Auto Care Ocean Grove we offer a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report, upon request, with every full car service which includes a written review of your brake fluid, master cylinder, front and back discs and pads, callipers and cylinders and more. This inspection helps to identify any issues in your vehicle which should be addressed and our mechanics will certainly advise you if they feel your vehicle might need a brake fluid replacement, or an out of schedule brake system service or repairs.

Do you check the brake fluids during a car service?

Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work.

Brake fluid - what is it and why do I need it? 

It is so important to have clean brake fluid.

Moisture can build up in the fluid  - which ruins braking efficiency, increases the corrosion of brake system components and can cause total brake failure.

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

Auto Care Ocean Grove are qualified to perform a wide range of brake services and repairs using quality parts, all covered by our Nationwide Warranty.

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

At Auto Care Ocean Grove we offer a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report, upon request, with every full car service which includes a written review of your brake fluid, master cylinder, front and back discs and pads, calipers and cylinders and more.

See Auto Care Ocean Grove for specialist braking and suspension testing in Ocean Grove.

Does your car rock and roll when you corner? Not stopping the way it used to? A Safe-T-Stop test can help in fixing all your braking issues.

Your car's braking and suspension play a vital part in making sure that your car stops quickly and safely. Here at Auto Care Ocean Grove in Ocean Grove, we take your safety very seriously. This is why we have invested in a state-of-the-art Safe-T-Stop testing machine and we are an approved Safe-T-Stop testing centre.

You can trust your family's safety to a Safe-T-Stop test. It provides an added safety inspection that goes far beyond a basic check and road test to scientifically test your braking capacity and ensure maximum stopping performance.

A Safe-T-Stop test is carried out on the electronically accurate PlateTronic test equipment. Safe-T-Stop test lanes measure and simulate a vehicle's brake performance in real-life conditions, exactly as it would happen in an emergency stop on the road!

Along with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your vehicle will stop straight and in the shortest possible distance in an emergency, having your braking and suspension system in peak operating condition can save you money by reducing the tyre drag and wear that increase petrol costs. (http://www.repcoservice.com/our-services/tyres-and-wheel-service)

A Safe-T-Stop check will give you an accurate and detailed printed report that will enable the qualified technicians at Auto Care Ocean Grove to advise you on any critical adjustments that should be made.
