Driving in cities like Swansea puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic. The parts most at risk are the brakes, cooling system and transmission. Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension. FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Swansea for all these crucial components.

Since Swansea is on the coast, cars in this area may experience a higher level of corrosion on key components, requiring them to be replaced more often. The bodywork starts to rust first; other parts most at risk include the brake callipers, nuts, and bolts. You can help to prevent this from happening by regularly washing your car, especially after a trip to the beach. Since rust spreads and eats away at metal components, it's best to get it fixed sooner rather than later. FixMyCar can help you find a bodywork specialist near Swansea.

Car brake fluid - also called hydraulic fluid - amplifies the braking force, prevents corrosion, and lubricates various components.

Every so often, you may need to do a brake fluid flush, which involves flushing the brake system entirely and refilling the master cylinder. How often you do a brake fluid change will impact the effectiveness and longevity of your braking system. If you press the brake pedal and it feels spongy, this is a sign the fluid needs replacing.

Many drivers wonder whether a brake fluid change is part of a service. Unfortunately, the answer is usually no. The recommended brake fluid change interval for many manufacturers is two years; you can find this information in your owner's manual.

How much does a brake fluid change cost? Usually, less than £80, though this depends on the make and model of your car.
