Brake fluid - what is it and why do I need it?
Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work.
Read moreOur cars depend on a complex network of parts to run, with the braking system being a crucial one. Brake fluid can be a hidden hazard if left unchecked. To prevent issues, it is important to get brake fluid flushed regularly. Neglecting to do so can result in a range of problems.
1. If you don't regularly change your brake fluid, it will start to break down. This means it won't work as well, and you won't be able to stop as quickly. The breakdown can even cause bubbles and pockets of air to form, which further slows down your brakes. If this happens, you could end up in a dangerous situation where a few seconds could make the difference between avoiding an accident and having one, which could risk lives and property.
2. The consequences of not regularly flushing out brake fluid can be severe. The mounting costs of repair and the risk of an accident make this issue a priority for all car owners. Without fresh brake fluid, worn-out components cannot be maintained, leaving drivers in a vulnerable state that could result in disaster during emergency situations. Neglecting brake fluid maintenance is a costly mistake, one that could endanger drivers and passengers and create an endless cycle of danger on the roads.
3. If you choose not to flush your brake fluid, the result is a domino effect of vehicle problems. You will experience diminished braking ability, increased wear on components, expensive repairs, and dangerous safety risks.
