If your brake pedals feel a bit spongy or are taking longer to bite the road, these are usually signs that you need a brake fluid change. In Cardiff, constant stop-start traffic and frequent heavy braking can put a lot of strain on your vehicle and push it harder than you might think. All these factors wear down your brake fluid and reduce the efficiency of your braking system over time.
Luckily, the solution to this issue is fast and affordable. Lawfix Automotive offers a comprehensive brake fluid change service. Our service includes removing the old, contaminated fluid from the system, replacing it with the correct DOT-spec fluid, and checking your brakes to ensure they are as good as new before handing the vehicle back to you.

Unlike most garages, we don’t just add more fluid and call it quits. Instead, we conduct a comprehensive brake fluid changing service which includes:
Adding new fluid (DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 where required) so you don’t end up with the wrong spec in the system
Full system flush to cleanse out the old fluid from your system
Brake performance inspection before and after, ensuring you leave with a noticeably better brake response
Proper disposal of the old brake fluid (hazardous waste disposal)
When your brake fluid wears down, there are usually not any immediately obvious signs. Instead, it’s typically a slow process that presents subtle signs of breakdown. Here are the things to look out for:
The brake pedal feels soft or “spongy”
If you’re break pedals feel softer or spongier than usual, this is one of the key signs your brake fluid is running low.
Your brake fluid looks dark or cloudy
Fresh fluid usually gives off a light amber colour. If it looks closer to dark brown, this is a key sign that the fluid is contaminated and needs to be flushed out and topped up.
You’ve had brake work recently
If your vehicle has recently had pads, discs, callipers, or hoses replaced, the brake system may need to be flushed to restore performance.
The fluid level keeps dropping
Brake fluid doesn’t just disappear. If your vehicle’s fluid level keeps dropping, it may indicate a leak. We’ll check for any signs of leakage during a brake fluid change service.
