Brake fluid change in Málaga
Safe braking: bleed and fresh fluid with the correct boiling point.
No appointment · Málaga
Brake fluid is pure safety. Over time it absorbs moisture and, under hard braking, that moisture can boil and make the pedal sink exactly when you need it most.
We bleed the circuit and refill with fresh fluid at the right boiling point for your car. Firm braking isn’t a luxury — it’s what stops you in time.
What the service includes
- Full brake-circuit bleed
- Fresh DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 fluid as required
- Reservoir level check
- Pedal-feel test
When to change brake fluid?
- 2 years have passed since the last change
- The pedal feels spongy or softer
- The brake warning light comes on
- The reservoir fluid looks dark
The usual recommendation is every 2 years regardless of mileage, because what degrades the fluid is moisture, not use.
Frequently asked questions
Why is it changed by time, not mileage?
Because brake fluid is hygroscopic: it absorbs moisture from the air even when you don’t drive. That moisture lowers the boiling point and compromises braking, hence the 2-year interval.
How long does it take?
