Brake, clutch fluid change at Bquik

[villageidiotY2K]

I'm thinking of changing my brake, clutch fluid at Bquik. 

I've changed my brake fluid Jan this year at Bquik but I hear this hssh sound when I step on the clutch. 

Is this normal? 

 

Also do they completely flush the old fluid for brake, clutch? 

I don't wanna be too nosy and step in to see they've actually doing it...

Usually called for every 2 years.

The system should be flushed 100%, and if car equipped with ABS special precautions and equipment need to be used to cycle the solenoids to evacuate and refill all chambers in the control unit.

Would I trust B-Q or any shop without this equipment ? No.

Clutch system is much easier, but flush all fluid.

There's good Bquiks and bad Bquiks same as Cockpit outlets. 

How old is the motor as to your hissing sound,  did it do it before, if not you should of taken it back. 

The fluids in clutch and brakes should be completely replaced by someone who knows what his doing.

Say where you live and someone here may able to recommend a competent place to get the work done.

Hissing sound isn't from the engine as I hear from the left front side of the car. I'm assuming some sort of pump. 

But in general does Bquik flushes brake or clutch fluid when u go in for the service? 

 

I ain't telling where I am, cuz I'm might get a hiding!

No, they don't unless you specifically ask them to do it.  What car and model are you referring to?

I used them twice, never will again....

Just tell them you want both system fluids replaced...Easy....When I had my trucks linings changed I told them to replace the fluid. Cost peanuts.

Your clutch is a separate system, 5 minute job with two sets of hands...????

B-Quik staff are taught the ropes, the jobs they are tasked to do in a particular outlet. Some specialise, such as A/C probs.......

So if they aren't flushing the old fluid by standard, <deleted> are they doing?. 

Just topping up?? 

How can that be possible, Cuz they charge me 2 bottles of brake fluid every tine

If you are being charged then you have new fluid, if two handed only takes about 15 minutes to force the old stuff out.......

Thre are plenty here. A lot work in independent garages. My hoda mechanic used to work for a dealer, but went out on his own. His prices were always very reasonable. I've had mixed luck with bquik, though to their credit they also rectified anything we weren't happy with.

Is it defintely a hydraulic clutch? Many cars have cable operated clutches. Old clutch fluid isn't likely to make a noise. If the sound you can hear is only there when you depress the clutch and goes away when you release it, it's probably a worn release bearing.
