Safe braking with high-quality Bosch brake technology for all brands
Your car's braking system contributes significantly to your safety, that of your passengers and other road users. That's why it's good to know that Bosch is a world leader in brake technology, with more than 10,000 products. Bosch is among the pioneers in electronic safety systems such as ABS and ESP, and works closely with car manufacturers for research and development. At Autobest, you're assured of high-quality Bosch brake parts and professional installation.
Your brakes are literally the difference between stopping safely and a collision. Every time you brake, you trust that your car does what you expect: come to a stop in time. That's why it's crucial that your brakes are always in top condition.
A braking system consists of much more than just brake pads and brake discs. It's a complex system of mechanical and hydraulic components that must work together perfectly:
If one component doesn't function properly, this can have direct consequences for your safety.
Bosch Car Service Autobest supplies brake parts for virtually all car brands, models and versions. This concerns:
For disc brakes:
For drum brakes:
Other brake components:
Bosch brake parts distinguish themselves through excellent braking power, long lifespan and reliability. And all that at an attractive price.
Bosch works on sustainability, and a good example of this is the reconditioned brake calipers from the eXchange recycling program. A new, original brake caliper is a relatively expensive part. With a reconditioned unit, we offer you an attractively priced alternative that is technically literally as good as new.
How does it work?
Old brake calipers are collected, completely stripped, cleaned and rebuilt with new parts where necessary. The result is a brake caliper that meets all quality requirements, but at a lower price and with less environmental impact.
Benefits of reconditioned brake calipers:
This way you combine quality with sustainability and affordability.
Our mechanics pay a lot of attention to the condition of your brakes. Whether it's a minor or major service, a winter or holiday check, or an MOT – we always check your braking system.
What do we check?
With every car brand and model, our mechanics know exactly what to look for, so wear or a defect is discovered in time. Through replacement with Bosch parts, your braking system is always in top condition.
Brakes are wear parts and must be replaced periodically. When that's necessary depends on your driving behavior, the quality of the brakes and the type of car.
Signs that your brakes need replacement:
Recognize one or more of these signs? Come by immediately. Brakes are not something to wait with.
Attention to your brakes also includes brake fluid that meets the highest requirements. Brake fluid is hygroscopic – that means it absorbs moisture from the air. Over time, the fluid becomes contaminated and the boiling point decreases. This can lead to 'vapor lock', where vapor bubbles form in the braking system and your brakes work less well.
Especially with modern braking systems that generate more and more braking force and ABS and ESP systems that work faster and faster, you need brake fluid that can handle this.
Bosch ENV4 and ENV6
That's why Bosch – inventor and developer of ABS and ESP – developed its own brake fluid: the Bosch ENV4 and ENV6. These fluids meet the highest qualifications within the applications prescribed by car manufacturers:
We work as standard with Bosch brake fluid in our workshop. Good for many safe kilometers.
Most car manufacturers recommend refreshing brake fluid every 2 to 3 years, regardless of mileage. This is because brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, which lowers the boiling point and can cause corrosion in the braking system.
During a major service, we always check the quality of the brake fluid and advise whether replacement is necessary.
Modern cars are equipped with electronic safety systems that help you in emergency situations:
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
Prevents your wheels from locking during braking, so your car remains controllable. Especially on slippery road surfaces, this is life-saving.
ESP (Electronic Stability Program)
Helps keep the car stable when it threatens to slip or fly out of the bend. The system brakes individual wheels and reduces engine power if necessary.
These systems were developed by Bosch and work seamlessly with the braking system. During maintenance, we always check whether these systems work correctly via our diagnostic equipment.
Replacing brake parts is more than just taking out old parts and putting in new ones. Our mechanics:
This way you know for sure that your brakes function optimally and you can safely get on the road.
Not sure whether your brakes are still good enough? Or do you hear strange sounds when braking? Stop by for a free brake check. We check the thickness of brake pads and discs, the condition of brake calipers and the quality of the brake fluid.
