Brakes don't warn you until they fail. And the most overlooked component is the brake fluid. We explain why changing it on time can save you from a serious scare.
Brake fluid absorbs water (and that's dangerous)
It's hygroscopic: it absorbs moisture from the air. Over time, this water lowers the boiling point. During heavy braking or a long descent, the fluid boils, bubbles form, and the pedal goes to the floor.
Signals and inspection
A spongy pedal, longer braking distance, or dark fluid are signs. We measure the fluid's moisture percentage in 2 minutes and let you know if it's time.
Complete brakes, not just pads
We check brake pads, discs, hoses, and fluid. We change the fluid every 2 years and bleed the system. It's a small price to pay for what's at stake.
When did you last check your brakes?
We diagnose and fix it for you at Zamule Cars Palma. No appointment needed, 12-month warranty, any make.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I change the brake fluid?
Every 2 years, even if the car "brakes well". It loses properties with humidity.
How do you know if it's due?
We measure the percentage of water in the fluid with a tester.
Is the whole system checked?
S : brake pads, discs, hoses, and fluid.
