Brakes

The importance of properly functioning brakes should be obvious to anyone – they ensure your vehicle can slow and stop in an emergency. At Mr Tyre we take your safety seriously, which is why we provide brakes for a range of vehicles as well as free brake safety reports.

Included in the range of brake components we provide are:

• Master cylinders
• Calipers and wheel cylinders
• Brake pads and shoes
• Anti-lock brakes
• Hand brakes

To ensure that your brakes are always working at their optimum, it is recommended that you have all aspects of your braking system routinely inspected – especially before undertaking a long journey.

Brake Fluid Change

Your local Mr Tyre also provides brake fluid changes to keep your brakes performing at their best.

Brake fluid is an essential component for stopping the car, with brakes unable to operate without it. Over time, brake fluid can decline in quality as it absorbs water during its lifespan, negatively impacting the effectiveness of your car’s braking system.

Some telltale signs that your brake fluid may need replacing include fluid that’s dark in colour or the presence of air bubbles and/or debris. If you’re not sure what you should be looking for, it’s always worth getting a professional to check over your vehicle.

Our technicians can diagnose issues with your brakes and will drain the current fluid before refilling your system with replacement brake fluid. This is usually performed using a pressure bleeder to avoid the brake fluid interacting with the air, which can impact the quality of the fluid. Overall, a brake fluid replacement takes around 30 – 45 minutes, making it a quick way to maintain your vehicle’s safety and reliability.

It’s always best to get a professional to perform a fluid replacement, as performing it incorrectly at home can negatively impact your car’s braking ability.
