Brake Service & Repair
Brake Fluid
Brake fluid allows the force from your foot to transfer into the components of the brakes that allow your car to slow down or stop. It is a vital component in the car for both function and safety and is therefore important for you to get your brake fluid checked.
When your brake fluid is at optimal levels, they are more responsive and they are less likely to experience brake fade. Not getting your brake fluid changed can also damage the braking system, so getting it regularly topped up can save you money in the long-run.
When to check My Brake Fluid?
Brake fluid should be changed approximately every two years or 24,000 miles, as recommended by most vehicle manufacturers, to prevent a loss of breaking performance caused by the absorption of water from the atmosphere. This absorption lowers the fluids boiling point and can lead to rust and corrosion within the brake system. Check your cars owner manual for the exact interval and correct fluid type for your specific vehicle.
Brake Fluid Servicing Process
When we are servicing your brake fluid, we will remove the old liquid and replace it with fresh solution.
Brake Service & Repair
Getting your brakes checked when needed is essential in keeping you safe when driving. Your car brakes are made up of many components, and at Ellingham Auto Solutions we are able to inspect these and isolate the part that is having any issue to carry out effective repairs.
When Do My Brakes Need Servicing?
Your brakes will be checked at your regular car service and MOT, however it is also important to get them checked if you are experiencing any change in the behaviour of your brakes. Some examples of things that indicate you need them checked are strange noises coming from your brakes, feeling vibration when you brake or your brakes not working as effectively.
What Happens During Brake Services?
What we do when servicing your brakes is highly dependent on what the issue is with them, but we will start with a thorough inspection of all of the components to begin with including the lines and master cylinder. We will look for any signs of your brake fluid leaking, or any signs of wear and corrosion of your brakes.
Depending on what we find during our inspections we may have to carry out a number of services. We may have to replace the brake pads, bleed the system to remove air or do an ABS system repair.
No matter what we find, you can trust us to carry out the correct repair efficiently and effectively.
