Keep Your Vehicle Running Smoothly with Hydro Flush
At Hydro Flush, we’re experts in keeping your vehicle performing at its best and operating safely through specialised services such as brake pad and disc replacement, and FAB (Fuel-Air Balance system) cleaning. Whether you're an experienced driver or a first-time car owner, understanding these key maintenance services can save you time, money, and unnecessary stress in the long run.
Why Brake Pads and Discs Matter
Your car’s brake pads and discs are fundamental components of the braking system. Every time you press the brake pedal, these parts work together to stop your car safely and efficiently. Over time, brake pads naturally wear down, and brake discs can become warped or uneven – significantly affecting braking performance and safety.
Common signs that your brake pads and discs may need replacing include:
Squealing or grinding noises when braking
A vibrating brake pedal
Increased stopping distance
A brake warning light on your dashboard
Ignoring these signs can lead to more severe damage and increased repair costs – not to mention a compromised level of safety on the road.
How Much Does It Cost to Replace Brake Pads and Discs?
At Hydro Flush, we prioritise transparent pricing and value for money. The cost of replacing brake pads and discs depends on the make and model of your vehicle, but here’s a general guide:
Brake Pads Only: £100 – £150 (per axle)
Brake Discs Only: £150 – £250 (per axle)
Brake Pads & Discs Combined: £200 – £400 (per axle)
All prices include parts and labour, and we only use high-quality, manufacturer-approved components to ensure long-lasting performance.
Investing in timely brake maintenance is far more cost-effective than dealing with the aftermath of an accident or major mechanical failure.
How Often Should Brake Pads and Discs Be Replaced?
While it can vary depending on driving habits and conditions, here’s a rough guide:
Brake pads: Every 30,000 to 70,000 miles
Brake discs: Every 70,000 to 120,000 miles
Factors such as your driving style, road types, and vehicle weight can all impact these figures. At Hydro Flush, we offer complimentary brake inspections with every service, so you can make informed decisions about your vehicle’s maintenance.
The Importance of Cleaning FAB (Fuel-Air Balance)
In addition to brake services, Hydro Flush is a leader in cleaning FAB. The Fuel-Air Balance (FAB) system is essential for maintaining engine efficiency, improving fuel economy, and reducing emissions. Over time, carbon deposits and dirt can accumulate in your air intake and fuel system, disrupting this balance.
Signs your FAB system may need cleaning include:
Reduced fuel economy
Rough idling or misfiring
Increased exhaust emissions
Sluggish acceleration
Cleaning your FAB system restores proper engine function, boosts performance, and helps reduce your environmental impact.
What’s the Cost of FAB Cleaning?
The cost of cleaning FAB varies depending on your vehicle type and the extent of the carbon build-up. On average, this service ranges from £100 to £200.
Our FAB cleaning service includes:
Full diagnostic assessment
Application of a high-grade cleaning agent
Cleaning of the air intake, fuel injectors, and throttle body
Post-service engine testing
This small investment delivers immediate results in performance, efficiency, and emissions.
