Brake Fluid Service
Brake fluid is hygroscopic: it absorbs moisture from the air over time. That moisture lowers the fluid's boiling point, which is exactly why a regular Brake Fluid Service matters. Under heavy braking, the fluid gets hot enough for that moisture to turn into vapour, and vapour compresses. The result? A spongy pedal, longer stopping distances and in serious cases, brake failure. This matters even more on performance cars. If you're pushing your brakes hard on track days or spirited B-road drives, degraded fluid will let you down when you need it most.

Why Do You Need a Brake Fluid Replacement?
Most manufacturers recommend a brake fluid replacement every two years, but it's not part of every garage's standard service schedule, so it often gets overlooked. If your pedal feels soft or has more travel than usual, old fluid is a likely cause.
What Does a Brake Fluid Service Cost?
We charge £69 for a brake fluid service on all VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda models. We drain the old fluid completely and replace it with fresh fluid to restore proper braking performance.
We've been looking after VAG cars since 1989, and we know how critical your braking system is. Contact us to book your brake fluid service, or head to our blog for more maintenance advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is brake fluid service?
A brake fluid service is a complete drain and replacement of the brake fluid in your car's braking system. Old fluid absorbs moisture over time, which reduces braking performance. Fresh fluid restores the correct boiling point and pedal feel.
How much is a brake fluid service?
Our brake fluid service is £69 for all VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda models. That covers a full drain and replacement with fresh fluid. No hidden extras.
Is brake fluid change included in service?
A brake fluid change is not always included in a standard service. Many garages treat it as a separate item. We recommend having it done every two years, regardless of your service schedule.
How often should you change brake fluid?
The recommended interval is every two years. Brake fluid absorbs moisture continuously, even if you don't drive often. Performance cars or track-used vehicles may benefit from more frequent changes.
Why does brake fluid need replacing?
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs water from the atmosphere over time. That water lowers the boiling point of the fluid. Under hard braking, this can cause vapour lock and a significant loss of braking performance.
