Brake Service, Repair and Testing in Reservoir

Your brakes are one of the most critical components of your vehicle when it comes to safety. Don’t wait until a problem arises – regular checks and maintenance are essential to ensure your braking system performs reliably when you need it most.

At Automotive Instincts in Reservoir, we prioritise the safety and performance of your car. During every full car service, we conduct a thorough 65-point vehicle inspection, including an assessment of your brakes. Our experienced team will inform you of any signs that your braking system requires servicing or repairs, helping to address issues early before they become costly or potentially dangerous.

Potential Brake Issues

Brakes can show various signs that they may need attention. For instance, if you notice squeaking or grinding noises when braking, reduced responsiveness, a spongy or hard brake pedal, or if your car pulls to one side while braking, these could all indicate problems within your brake system. Delaying brake repairs could lead to more severe damage, reduced stopping power, or, in some cases, complete brake failure. It’s always better to address these concerns promptly to ensure your safety on the road.

Brake issues may stem from worn brake pads, low or contaminated brake fluid, damaged brake lines, warped discs, or malfunctioning callipers. At Automotive Instincts, we have the expertise and tools to diagnose these problems accurately and recommend the appropriate course of action.

Our Brake Services

We provide a comprehensive range of brake services, tailored to keep your vehicle’s braking system in top condition. These include:

  • Replacement of Brake Pads: Ensure effective stopping power with new, high-quality brake pads.
  • Brake Fluid Flushing and Replacement: Remove old, contaminated brake fluid and replace it with fresh fluid for improved braking performance.
  • Rotor and Drum/Brake Disc Machining or Resurfacing: Restore the smooth surface of your brake rotors or drums to ensure consistent braking.
  • Replacement of Drums and Brake Discs: Fit brand-new components if your existing ones are excessively worn or damaged.
  • Replacement of Brake Callipers: Address faulty or seized callipers for smooth and even braking.
  • Replacement of Brake Hoses and Lines: Repair or replace damaged or leaking brake lines and hoses for reliable brake operation.
  • Complete Brake System Replacement: When needed, we can replace the entire braking system to restore full functionality and safety.

If you suspect your vehicle’s brakes aren’t performing as they should or if it’s been a while since your last brake service, don’t hesitate to act. Our skilled team is here to provide a thorough assessment and expert care for your brake system.
