Regular inspection of your brake system is essential for ensuring it remains in optimal working condition.  As part of our 65-point safety inspection each time we do a full car service, regular inspections are key to preventing problems from escalating and becoming more serious than they need to be. Our skilled technicians will let you know when it is time for additional care (or if repairs are necessary) so that this does not result in something worse.

Brake Disc/Rotor And Drum Machining or Resurfacing.

We provide the following types of brake services:

The braking system in a car is made up of various components, each working in tandem to bring your car to a stop. The main components include:

Brake pedal - the brake pedal is located inside the car, and when pressed, it sends a signal to the brake booster, which applies force to the brakes.

Brake booster - this component uses vacuum pressure to amplify the force applied by the driver to the brake pedal, helping to bring the car to a stop more quickly.

Master cylinder - the master cylinder is responsible for converting the force applied by the brake booster into hydraulic pressure that is used to actuate the brakes.

Brake lines - the brake lines carry the hydraulic pressure generated by the master cylinder to the brakes themselves.

Brake calipers - the brake calipers are responsible for clamping down on the rotors, generating friction and ultimately slowing the car down.

Brake pads - brake pads are positioned between the calipers and the rotors, providing a surface for the calipers to clamp down on. Over time, brake pads can wear down and will need to be replaced.

Rotors - rotors are discs attached to the wheels of the car that the brake pads clamp down on, generating friction and bringing the car to a stop.

Brake fluid transfers the pressure you put on the brake pedal through to the actual brakes.
Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work. As everyone knows - not having brakes is a huge problem! In fact even slightly affected brakes are very dangerous.


Brake fluid absorbs moisture very easily. Brake fluids are also subject to very high temperatures and so they are designed to have a high boiling point to stop them from boiling and evaporating- when brake fluid has accumulated too much moisture- this lowers its boiling point and it can boil off more easily causing low levels. Low levels of brake fluid affect your braking performance and could mean your car will fail to stop.
Brake Fluid that has absorbed too much moisture will also shorten the life of your braking system including damaging the callipers, wheel cylinders and anti-lock braking systems.

Why is brake fluid replacement necessary?

Your manufacturer's log book will advise how regularly your brake fluid should be changed or flushed, we recommend a drain and replacement every two years however it is wise to have it regularly checked by an expert at every service to make sure the levels are not reducing too fast (a sign of a leak) or that the moisture levels have not reached a point that could be damaging your system.

How often should I replace my brake fluid?

At Northside Hi-Performance  we offer a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report, upon request, with every full car service which includes a written review of your brake fluid, master cylinder, front and back discs and pads, callipers and cylinders and more. This inspection helps to identify any issues in your vehicle which should be addressed and our mechanics will certainly advise you if they feel your vehicle might need a brake fluid replacement, or an out of schedule brake system service or repairs.

Do you check the brake fluids during a car service?

Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work.

Brake fluid - what is it and why do I need it?
