Brake fluid is one of the most critical fluids in your vehicle, and it’s important to keep it at the correct level. Brake fluid provides the hydraulic force necessary to engage your brakes, but it also helps protect your brake system from corrosion.

Over time, brake fluid can become contaminated with water, which can lead to brake failure. That’s why it’s important to have your brake fluid checked if you notice any difference in braking performance and replace it when necessary.

At Natrad, we can replace brake fluid for all types of car brands. So if you’re due for a change, or if you think your brake fluid may be contaminated, give us a call today.

Brake fluid is one of the most important fluids in your car. It helps transfer the force from your foot on the brake pedal to the brake pads, which then stops the wheels from turning. So, it’s essential to make sure that your brake fluid is always at the correct level.

Most cars will have a “max” line on the brake fluid reservoir. This is the line that you should never exceed. If you go over this line, it could cause significant problems with your brakes. The extra fluid could get into the brake lines and cause air bubbles. These air bubbles can reduce the effectiveness of your brakes and even cause complete brake failure.

So, always check your brake fluid level and top it up if necessary. But don’t go over the max line! If you need help to ensure optimum braking performance in your vehicle, we can check your brake fluid level, top it up for you, and inspect your entire brake system to ensure everything is in good working order.

A brake job is a procedure that involves inspection and replacement of your vehicle’s:

• Brake pads
• Brake shoes
• Brake discs or rotors
• Brake fluid
• Calipers
• Brake lines
• Hoses
• Wheel cylinders

The cost will depend on the severity of wear and tear on your brakes and the type of vehicle you drive. Generally, expect to pay between $300 and $800 for this service.

If you’re only replacing brake pads in your disc brakes, you’ll pay much less than this – around $100 to $200. However, it’s vital to get your brakes checked regularly to avoid more costly repairs down the line and ensure optimal braking performance for your vehicle.

At Natrad, we can carry out a free brake inspection and provide a no-obligation quote. We only use quality parts, and our highly trained technicians will have your car back on the road in no time. Contact your local Natrad today!

Brake bleeding is the process of removing air from the brake lines. This is necessary for replacing brake fluid because the fluid can become contaminated with moisture over time, which leads to rust and corrosion. The process of brake bleeding flushes out the old fluid and replaces it with new, clean fluid.

Brake bleeding is done by opening up the bleeder screws on each brake caliper or wheel cylinder. Then, fresh brake fluid is pumped into the system until all air has been purged out. Finally, the bleeder screws are closed, and the system is bled of any remaining air.

The entire process should be repeated until no more air bubbles are seen in the brake lines. Brake bleeding is crucial for maintaining your vehicle’s braking system and should be done whenever brakes are serviced.

Natrad can provide all the necessary brake parts for a successful brake bleed and other brake services. Our experienced technicians can also help with any questions about bleeding your brakes. So contact your local Natrad today for all your braking needs.

One of the most common causes of uneven brake part wear is the incorrect installation of the brake pads or shoes. If the pads or shoes are not installed correctly, they will not make complete contact with the rotor or drum, causing uneven wear.

Another common cause of uneven brake wear is incorrect or uneven lube on the brake pads. This can happen during the manufacturing process or if the brakes are not properly serviced. The uneven lube will cause the pads to sit unevenly on the caliper, which leads to uneven pad wear.

The fix for this problem is to clean and reapply lube to the brake pads. This can be done at home with a brake pad lube kit or by taking the car to a mechanic or brake specialist. Once the pads are evenly lubricated, they should sit evenly on the caliper and wear down evenly.

Other causes include misalignment of the caliper or wheel cylinders, contamination of the brake fluid, and excessive heat build-up. Disc brakes are more likely to experience uneven wear than drum brakes, but both can suffer from this problem if not properly serviced. Regular brake maintenance is the best way to prevent uneven wear and other brake problems.

The best way to fix uneven wear is to have a professional inspect and service your brakes. Visit your local Natrad vehicle shop for more information, or contact us to book your brake check today.
