Ensuring your ability to come to a stop when necessary is crucial - are you prepared to maintain your brakes?

The role of brake fluid in a vehicle's braking system cannot be overemphasised as it is responsible for transmitting pressure to the brake pads, bringing the car to a stop. Failure to flush out the brake fluid at regular intervals could result in several issues that could put the safety and performance of the brakes in jeopardy.

Delaying or neglecting the regular replacement of your brake fluid can result in its deterioration, leading to decreased effectiveness and an increased braking time. The degeneration of the fluid may also result in the formation of air bubbles and pockets, which also impacts on your ability to bring your vehicle to a complete stop.

It is imperative to prioritise brake maintenance by following the recommended Brake Fluid Flush schedule from Home or Away Mechanical Services. Doing so will not only improve your braking response time but also reduce the risk of accidents. This crucial procedure shields your braking system from water contamination and corrosion, which could otherwise lead to damaging consequences.

Home or Away Mechanical Services are qualified to perform a wide range of brake services and repairs using quality parts, all covered by our Nationwide Warranty.

We never compromise on brake safety, ensuring that when you need to stop, you can trust that we will deliver.

Whenever a full car service is provided at Home or Away Mechanical Services, customers may request a detailed Vehicle Inspection report that assesses the state of the brake fluid, master cylinder, front and rear discs and pads, calipers and cylinders, and more. This review provides crucial information that will help keep you safe, or allow you to plan and budget for any potential repairs your vehicle may need.

Home or Away Mechanical Services offers reliable brake maintenance service and repairs for all car makes and models, including commercial fleet vehicles. Book your appointment today and enjoy our nationwide warranty!

Drive Safe this Winter with a 65 Point Written Vehicle Inspection Report

Our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report is free with every service at Home or Away Mechanical Services in Loganlea. Our qualified mechanics will visually check over the important components of your vehicle and provide you with a written report on the condition of your vehicle. We can then help you understand any concerns which may need to be attended so that you can drive safe this winter with Home or Away Mechanical Services and Repco Authorised Service.

Here are some tips for Safer Winter Driving

Avoid the painful moment when you switch on the wipers during that first rainstorm and only then remember you should have replaced them! Wiper blades age and become less effective - especially after a long hot summer. A good quality wiper blade like Trico is essential to help you see your way clear regardless of the weather. Home or Away Mechanical Services can recommend a wiper blade or assembly that is right for your car.

Fluids and other workings in your car can be effected by cold weather; this includes coolants, oils and items such as glow plugs in diesel vehicles. It's important to get your vehicle regularly serviced by a professional technician who recognises the right products and parts to keep your car in peak operating condition. We use high quality NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils and fluids that are designed for Australian conditions.  

Conditions change - and your driving style should too. In wet weather or poor visibility, slow down and leave a larger than normal stopping distance between yourself and the vehicle in front. 

There are some tell-tale signs that your brakes need inspecting, including vibrating, spongy or slow responding brake pedal, strange sounds or difficult handling when applying pressure to your brakes. If you are experiencing any of these you should get it checked out by a qualified mechanic. Brake inspections form part of our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report, so if you have concerns call us today and book in.

Driving on worn or incorrectly inflated tyres can be dangerous. Now is the time to check how worn your tyres are. If your tyres are wearing unevenly, this could indicate that your shock absorbers or some other vital part of your steering and suspension systems are due for service or replacement. Find out more about the components that affect your tyre wear on the links below: 

Driving on incorrectly inflated tyres won't just cost you money on additional fuel; it can also impact your stopping ability. You can usually find manufacturers recommendations on a panel inside the driver side door.

Tips for Safer Winter Driving

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 Home or Away Mechanical 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.

Do you check the brake fluids during a car service?

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

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

When it comes to brakes, you should never wait until brake repairs are necessary.  

Proper testing and routine checkups, such as our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection which we provide with all full car services, are important to ensure your vehicle's brake system is in top condition. Our expert team of technicians will be happy to advise you when they suspect that service or repair of your brake system is indicated to stop it becoming a bigger issue.
