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 Medlyn's Auto Services 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.

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

Brake repairs are what many people discuss when it comes to being safe, but considering brake maintenance is much more vital to your safety. When your brakes are properly maintained they shouldnt need to be repaired. 

Badly maintained brakes reduce your ability to stop rapidly and safely, putting your life at risk.

Regular brake maintenance means that you can be confident that your brakes will be in good working order when you need it most; in an emergency!

When it comes to Brake Maintenance, you should never take a risk. If you're not sure if your brake maintenance is 100% - call a professional, call Medlyn's Auto Services today or book online. 

Your brake pads are a vital factor of your braking system and they are a part that you should never be overlooked. Friction is caused when the brake pads compress against the brake rotors which causes your car to stop. Brake pads work really hard, really often.

The force that is required of them to pull up a moving vehicle is huge and creates a lot of heat which wears down the brake pads.

Worn brake pads means ineffective braking and that can mean danger on the road. And so regular inspection and measuring of the condition of your brake pads is important.

At Medlyn's Auto Services we offer a free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report with every car service. As part of our Vehicle Inspection Report we inspect the brake pads for wear and tell you if they require replacing. We can also advise the right pad for your driving style and conditions.

Medlyn's Auto Services are qualified to perform a wide range of brake services and repairs using quality parts, all covered by our nationwide warranty.

We can provide inspection, repair or replacement of many brake components such as:
