The pedal goes soft coming down a hill

StopDo not keep driving it. Telephone +1 876 923 7740 and we will come for it inside 15 km.

Stop driving it. A pedal that sinks is either old fluid boiling, a swollen flexible hose holding pressure, or a master cylinder past its seals. All three are cheap next to the alternative, and all three get worse with heat.

Bring it in, or call and we will come for it inside 15 km. We pressure-test the system, look at the fluid's boiling point with a tester rather than at its colour, and tell you which of the three it is.

How we tell: First stop of the day feels normal; the fourth does not.

Old parts back in the box

Whatever comes off your car is bagged with your registration on it and handed to you when you collect. It is the simplest proof that the part we charged you for was the part we changed.
