Brake Fluid Flush
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point and makes the pedal go soft when you need it most.

We test the moisture content of the old fluid, flush the system with the correct specification fluid, bleed each corner in sequence, and check pedal feel and travel.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air over time. That water lowers the fluid boiling point, and under hard or repeated braking it turns to vapour, which is when the pedal goes soft or drops to the floor. Michanic flushes and replaces brake fluid at your home or office as part of routine maintenance.
A brake fluid flush is one of the cheapest jobs on a car and one of the most neglected, because nothing obvious goes wrong until the day you need the brakes hardest. Moisture in the fluid also corrodes calipers, the master cylinder and ABS components from the inside.
We test the moisture content of the existing fluid rather than flushing on guesswork, use the fluid specification the manufacturer calls for, and bleed each corner in the correct sequence so no air is left in the system.
Water in the fluid turns to vapour under repeated heavy braking, and vapour compresses where fluid does not. The result is a pedal that goes soft at the worst moment.
