Brakes comprise of discs, pads, shoes, drums and fluid
Brakes are a critical part to you and your family’s safety. Ensure that you brakes are checked at least every year or before a road trip.
Do not avoid brake warning lights, screeching noises, grinding sounds or a vibration when braking.
If you experience any of the above-mentioned, book your vehicle for a brake inspection.
Our technicians are qualified to remove and replace brake parts successfully. Brake discs skimming can be done on-site.
A clutch consists of three main parts – clutch plate, pressure plate & flywheel.
Engaging the clutch means that all three of the above-mentioned parts are pressed together by the springs in the clutch.
This ensures that the engine and transmission are connected and spinning at an equal speed.
When you leave the clutch pedal, the springs pull the pressure plate away from the clutch plate which causes the flywheel and pressure plate to spin at different speeds.
This allows the driver to change gears smoothly or come to a halt.
Vehicles have become more computerised over the years.
The great part about this is that vehicles’ integrated systems can now be scanned for any errors or malfunctions.
A diagnostic scan analyses the computer software and systems of your vehicle and provides the technician valuable feedback.
This valuable feedback can be used to speed up the repair process as issues can be addressed quicker and more efficiently.
