Brake fluid change

Changing your brake fluid is vital for the safety of your brakes.  Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture over time, reducing the temperature at which the fluid boils. This could result in increased stopping distances, reduced braking efficiency and even brake failure.

If too much water is absorbed, the brake fluid can boil while the brakes are being used. This seriously affects braking performance and can cause the braking system to fail. A spongy feel to the brake pedal shows this has started to happen.

During a brake fluid change we check the level and look for leaks. We then drain the system and fill it with brake fluid that meets our high standards. We test the system and record it in your service book. Old brake fluid is disposed of responsibly.

Our fully qualified technicians will change the brake fluid for £95.

Ocean Automotive (Swedish) Limited trading as Volvo Cars Poole is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Ocean Automotive (Swedish) Limited trading as Volvo Cars Poole to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes Volvo Car Financial Services UK Limited. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to Volvo Car Financial Services UK Limited, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives and which you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and Volvo Car Financial Services UK Limited may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
