Its never a good idea to gamble with your safety, or that of your passengers... The braking mechanisms in your vehicle are crucial for ensuring the safety of you and your loved ones on the road. Maintaining your car in optimal and secure condition is essential. With some basic knowledge, you can identify a few prevalent issues on your own. Unusual sounds and strange behaviours when applying the brakes might not appear to be an urgent issue, but you shouldn't take chances with brake safety. Optimal stopping power is crucial, especially in emergencies, and your brakes must function flawlessly when you need them the most. With extensive expertise spanning numerous years in the realm of braking systems, inspections, and brake repairs, Wheeler Automotives stands ready to assist. If you have any worries regarding the performance of your vehicle's brakes, don't hesitate to reach out to us today. At Wheeler Automotives, we can provide professional advice or conduct a thorough inspection of your brakes to guarantee they are functioning optimally, ensuring your safety and keeping you securely on the road. A Wheeler Automotives brake service may include: Comprehensive Disc Brake Examination Thorough Drum Brake Assessment Detailed Brake Line Evaluation Inspection and Top-up of Brake Fluid Extensive Hydraulic System Review Master Cylinder Analysis Repair and Replacement Services Handbrake inspection Common brake problems Wheeler Automotives encounter If you notice your brake pedal sinking lower than it once did, or even reaching the floor, it's a clear indication that there's a loss of pressure within your braking system. This issue could stem from several sources, including compromised brake lines, a faulty master cylinder, or defective wheel cylinders. The brake pedal feels somewhat "spongy" underfoot, which is typically indicative of air bubbles trapped within the brake lines. To address this issue, a thorough inspection of the brake lines for any leaks is necessary, followed by a complete drainage and refilling of the brake fluid. If you're finding it difficult to depress the brake pedal, it's likely that there's an issue with your vehicle's power brake booster. This crucial component is engineered to amplify the pressure you exert on the brake pedal, ensuring sufficient force is applied to bring the car to a halt. When your brakes emit a high-pitched squeal, particularly during abrupt stops, it could indicate several underlying issues, with worn brake pads being a common culprit. Brake pads function by pressing against the wheels, utilising friction to halt the vehicle. This same friction, however, causes the brake pads to gradually degrade and require replacement over time. When you apply the brakes and feel the steering wheel vibrate, it is likely an indication that the front brake rotors or the rear brake drums are unevenly worn or warped. To address this issue, these components might need to be resurfaced to restore their original shape or, in certain situations, replaced entirely. You should never take any risks when it comes to the safety of yourself, your passengers or other users of the road. If you have any doubts whatsoever about your brake system bring your vehicle into Wheeler Automotives in Maddington and let us make sure your brakes are up to the task of protecting you. Let Wheeler Automotives help ensure the safety of your vehicle. After all, just what is stopping you...

If the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor, brakes seem spongy, brake pedal is hard to push down, brakes make a squealing sound, the steering wheel shudders when braking or the car pulls to one side - a Wheeler Automotives Brake Service may help…

Brake problems & warning signs

Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.

Wheeler Automotives - Our expertise & knowledge

Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. Wheeler Automotives in Maddington are very knowledgeable and experienced in looking after these systems.  It is recommended that you exchange your radiator coolant fluid every two years or 40,000 km's whichever comes first. However the size of the engine, the climate in your area, the age of your current coolant, and the total miles that have been driven can all affect the need to replace the coolant in your radiator. Knowing when to replenish your radiator fluid isn't always easy - obviously, when it has gone a dirty brown colour it's a sign it probably needs to be flushed and replaced - however even fresh-looking coolant could have lost its corrosion protection properties and without measuring its reserve alkalinity there's no signal that it is no longer protecting your vehicle components, and it could even be doing more damage than good. Maintaining good coolant means your radiator system will be much better protected from corrosion and will have a longer life span, it will help prevent you from having to replace expensive engine components. At Wheeler Automotives in Maddington at your request, we will perform a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report for free as part of any minor, major or log book service. Part of this inspection includes checking the level and condition of coolant in your system and the written report will advise you if we feel a radiator flush, fluid replacement or any repairs are required to maintain the performance of your vehicle.

Even if it looks clean, your coolant still might need replacing!
