About this job
Brake fluid absorbs water over time, which lowers its boiling point and can corrode parts. Most makers recommend a change every two years. Your mechanic flushes the old fluid and bleeds the system with new fluid of the right type.
Signs you might need it
- Two years since the last change
- Soft or spongy pedal
- Fluid tested as contaminated
What's included

- Pedal feel test
Plus travel, disposal of old parts and a 12-month guarantee.

Questions about brake fluid change
How long does brake fluid change take?
Usually about 45 minutes. Your mechanic will tell you if your car needs longer.
Can it be done at my home?
In most cases, yes. Mobile mechanics need a safe, level place to park, such as a driveway or quiet street. If your job needs a workshop we'll let you know before you pay anything.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. The price on your quote is what you pay. If the mechanic finds something else, they'll explain it and give you a separate price – nothing extra is done without your OK.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes – parts and labour are covered for 12 months. See our guarantee page for the details.
