When it comes to ensuring your vehicle is safe to drive on public roads, brake testing is a critical component of a Roadworthy Inspection. At Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne), we pride ourselves on being experts in this field, offering thorough and reliable brake inspections that align with VicRoads' standards.
A comprehensive brake inspection during a Victorian Roadworthy Inspection involves several essential steps. Our technicians at Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) begin by visually inspecting the brake system. This includes checking the condition of the brake pads, discs, and calipers to identify any signs of wear or irregularities. Detecting these issues early is crucial for maintaining optimal braking performance.
Next, we evaluate the brake fluid levels. Ensuring that these levels are within the specified range is vital, as low fluid levels can significantly affect braking efficiency. We also inspect the brake lines and hoses for any leaks or corrosion, which are potential causes of brake failure if left unattended.
When carrying out a roadworthy inspection of a vehicle's braking system, it is not enough to simply check the level of brake fluid; assessing its condition is equally important. This involves examining the fluid for signs of potential contamination, particularly looking for the presence of moisture. Moisture in brake fluid can significantly compromise the effectiveness of the braking system, as it lowers the boiling point of the fluid. This can lead to a reduced braking performance and even system failure under extreme conditions. Our inspection process includes a test for moisture content to ensure that the fluid remains within safe operational standards.
Another critical aspect of the brake inspection is testing the handbrake or parking brake. Our technicians ensure that it engages securely and holds the vehicle in place, providing peace of mind for the driver and safety for others on the road.
After the physical inspection, our experts conduct a road test to evaluate the vehicle’s braking performance under controlled conditions. The brakes should function smoothly, responding promptly without any unusual noises or vibrations. This testing phase is crucial to ascertain the brakes meet the legal standards set by authorities, ensuring sufficient stopping power and reliability.
At Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) in Cranbourne West, we understand the importance of meeting the roadworthy certificate requirements.
