Brake fluid plays a crucial role in the safety of your vehicle by transferring the pressure you apply to the brake pedal to the actual brakes. Without it, your brakes simply wouldn’t function, and as everyone knows, a car without brakes is incredibly dangerous. Even slightly compromised brakes can pose a serious risk. Why Is Brake Fluid Replacement Necessary? Brake fluid has a tendency to absorb moisture over time, which can compromise its effectiveness. Brake systems generate high temperatures, and brake fluid is specifically designed to have a high boiling point to prevent it from evaporating. However, when too much moisture builds up, the boiling point is lowered, making the fluid more prone to boiling under heat. This can lead to reduced brake fluid levels, ultimately affecting your vehicle’s braking performance and increasing stopping distances. In addition to reducing effectiveness, moisture-contaminated brake fluid can lead to corrosion within the braking system. Over time, this can damage components such as the callipers, wheel cylinders, and anti-lock braking systems (ABS). Regular replacement helps to extend the lifespan of these parts and maintain optimal braking performance. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it actively absorbs moisture from the surrounding environment, even through microscopic openings in the brake system. This is why regular maintenance is essential to ensure safety. How Often Should Brake Fluid Be Replaced? Your vehicle’s manufacturer will specify how often the brake fluid should be replaced—typically outlined in the logbook service schedule. At Vast Automotive, we recommend replacing it every two years as a general guideline. However, it’s equally important to have it checked during each routine service. A professional mechanic can assess the moisture content in the fluid and check for any leaks or other signs of wear that might require earlier attention. Is Brake Fluid Checked During a Service? Yes, at Vast Automotive, we provide a comprehensive 65-point vehicle inspection upon request with every full service. This includes a detailed review of your brake fluid, master cylinder, front and rear discs and pads, callipers, cylinders, and more. Our expert mechanics will assess the condition of your braking system and notify you if the brake fluid needs replacing or if any additional brake system repairs or maintenance are required. Regular checks can catch problems early, ensuring your safety on the road. Maintaining your brake fluid is an essential part of car ownership, and neglecting it could lead to costly repairs or, worse, compromised safety. If you’re due for a brake fluid replacement or simply want peace of mind, book a service with Vast Automotive in Traralgon. Our team will make sure your braking system is in top condition, so you can drive with confidence.

Learn why brake fluid is essential for your vehicle’s safety, how it works, and why regular maintenance by Vast Automotive is crucial for optimal braking performance and to prevent costly repairs.

Your car might be affecting the health and mood of you and your family, leaving everyone feeling sick, tired, stressed, or irritable. Regular servicing and inspections at Vast Automotive in Traralgon could make a significant difference. Does any of this sound familiar? The environment inside your car can have a big impact on how everyone feels while travelling — including you. Did you know that the air inside your car can contain pollutant levels up to 10 times higher than the air outside? Or that bacteria build-up in your vehicle’s vents can create unpleasant odours, making trips uncomfortable and even leading to health issues?   Issues with suspension, steering or wheel alignment can cause fatigue, especially on longer journeys. Even frequent short trips around Traralgon can become tiring if your vehicle’s handling isn’t optimal. Steering problems, in particular, often worsen gradually, so you might not realise how much extra effort you’re putting into driving and parking.   There are plenty of factors that could be making your car less than family-friendly. To explore these in more detail, visit our Family Taxi - Family Friendly article.  Shock absorber and suspension testing, wheel alignment and balancing: These services help improve your vehicle’s handling, reduce driver fatigue, and make journeys more comfortable for everyone.   Cabin air filter replacement: Let us check your cabin air filter — it might be dirtier than you expect, even if your logbook doesn’t yet recommend a replacement. A clean cabin air filter ensures you’re breathing in fresher, healthier air by filtering out dust, pollen, and other particles.   MiST™ service: For an extra step in cleanliness, ask about our MiST™ service. It effectively kills existing mould and bacteria while preventing new growth in your vehicle’s ventilation system.   65-point vehicle inspection report: Enjoy peace of mind knowing your car is in good condition. Our thorough inspection identifies maintenance issues before they turn into costly, unexpected breakdowns, saving you stress and protecting your budget.
