Failing to periodically replace your brake fluid can result in its degradation, compromising its effectiveness and extending your braking distance.

A routine Brake Fluid Flush is crucial for maintaining your braking system. This service shields your brakes from the damaging effects of water contamination and corrosion.

As the fluid deteriorates, it can form bubbles and air pockets, which lengthen the time required to achieve a complete stop. 

Moisture accumulation in the fluid diminishes braking efficiency, accelerates the corrosion of brake components, and can even lead to total brake failure.

Fresh brake fluid not only ensures your safety but also extends the lifespan of your braking system by preventing corrosion.

Car Service Canberra is equipped to handle a variety of brake services and repairs using high-quality parts, all backed by our Nationwide Warranty.

When it comes to brake safety, we never rest, ensuring you can stop precisely when you need to.

With every full car service at Car Service Canberra, customers can request a thorough Vehicle Inspection report. This assessment covers the brake fluid, master cylinder, front and rear discs and pads, calipers and cylinders, and more. It provides essential insights to help keep you safe and assist you in planning and budgeting for any necessary repairs.

At Car Service Canberra, we know that clean brake fluid plays a crucial role in safeguarding your safety and protects your braking system's components by warding off corrosion, eliminating air pockets, and restoring the efficiency of your brakes...

Wondering When to Replace Your Brake Fluid?

As an EV owner, Car Service Canberra knows that you're already aware of the many benefits your vehicle brings, including typically lower maintenance needs compared to traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. 

However, regular servicing and inspections are crucial to maintaining performance, safety, and longevity. You will find that the cost of an annual inspection is greatly reduced as compared to a Diesel or Petrol engine vehicle. While individual servicing needs may vary depending on the specific model and manufacturer recommendations, here’s a comprehensive list of parts and systems in your electric vehicle (EV) that generally require annual servicing or inspection:

- Battery Health Check: Essential to monitor the state of health, capacity, and overall performance of the battery pack.

- Battery Cooling System Inspection: Ensures the system that keeps the battery at optimal temperatures is functioning correctly.

- Motor Inspection: Check for wear and ensure connections are secure.

- Cooling System Check: Like the battery, the electric motor(s) have cooling requirements that need regular inspection.

- Charging Port and Cables: Inspection for physical damage or wear and ensuring clean and secure connections.

- Onboard Charger: Examination for proper operation.

- Brake Fluid Check: Although EVs utilise regenerative braking, they still require brake fluid which should be checked and replaced as necessary.

- Brake Pads and Rotors Inspection: Look for wear and tear. Even with regenerative braking, these parts can wear down.

- Rotation and Alignment: Regular tyre rotation and checking alignment helps in even wear and maintaining efficiency.

- Tyre Pressure and Condition: Proper inflation is key for safety and optimising range. Under inflation reduces the cars efficiency and will increase the wear of tyres. 

- Inspection for Wear: Components should be checked for damage or wear to maintain handling and ride quality.

- AC System Check: Ensure efficient operation of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system

- Lights Check: Ensure all external and internal lights are functioning.

- Software Updates: While not a physical part, ensuring your vehicle’s software is up to date can improve performance and introduce new features.

- Diagnostics: EV's are now fully computerised with a myriad of sensors which monitor the wellbeing of the vehicle. When a dashboard warning light comes on Car Service Canberra can diagnose and repair the issue.

- Airbags and Seatbelts Inspection: Regular checks for wear and proper operation.

- Driver Assistance Systems: Calibration and testing of systems like automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, and others.

- Windscreen Wipers and Washer Fluid: Replace blades and top off fluid as necessary.

- Cabin Air Filter Replacement: For maintaining air quality inside the vehicle.

While this list covers many of the common areas requiring attention, it's important to consult your vehicle's owner manual for specific maintenance recommendations and intervals. Regular inspections by Car Service Canberra in Mitchell can help identify potential issues early, ensuring your EV remains in top condition for years to come.

Discover the key servicing and inspection points for your EV to maintain safety, performance, and longevity. Keep your electric vehicle running smoothly with our expert tips.
