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 Borough Tyre & Auto 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.

Do you check the brake fluids during a car service?

Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work.

Don't let the road get the better of your vehicle, ensure a reliable and comfortable journey with professional suspension servicing with Borough Tyre & Auto

When it comes to keeping your car running smoothly, few things are more important than your vehicle's suspension system. From shock absorbers to springs, the suspension is responsible for maintaining stability, keeping your wheels on the road, and ensuring a smooth ride. 

At Borough Tyre & Auto, we are committed to providing top-notch suspension service that keeps your car performing at its best.

Simply put, it is a network of components that work together to support the weight of your car and reduce shock and vibration as you drive. This includes everything from springs and struts to ball joints and control arms. 

The suspension plays a vital role in your car's safety, stability, and handling. Without a properly functioning suspension, your vehicle may not be able to handle bumps and turns as it should, leading to poor driving conditions and a higher risk of accidents.

Here are some common symptoms to look out for:

how do you know if your suspension is starting to wear down?

1. Uneven tire wear: If you notice that your tires are wearing down faster on one side than the other, this may be a sign that your suspension is out of alignment.

2. Bouncing or dipping: Does your car bounce excessively or dip forward when you brake? This could indicate that your shocks or struts are wearing out.

3. Noise: Clunking, knocking, or rattling sounds coming from underneath your car may be a sign that your suspension needs attention.

4. Drifting or pulling: If your car drifts or pulls to one side while you're driving, this may be a sign that your suspension is out of whack.

Fortunately, regular suspension servicing can help prevent these problems from occurring. At Borough Tyre & Auto, our expert technicians use the latest diagnostic equipment and tools to identify and address any issues with your suspension system. Whether you need a simple alignment or a more complex repair, we have the expertise and experience to get the job done right.
