Brake fluid transfers the pressure you put on the brake pedal through to the actual brakes.
Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work. As everyone knows - not having brakes is a huge problem! In fact even slightly affected brakes are very dangerous.


Brake fluid absorbs moisture very easily. Brake fluids are also subject to very high temperatures and so they are designed to have a high boiling point to stop them from boiling and evaporating- when brake fluid has accumulated too much moisture- this lowers its boiling point and it can boil off more easily causing low levels. Low levels of brake fluid affect your braking performance and could mean your car will fail to stop.
Brake Fluid that has absorbed too much moisture will also shorten the life of your braking system including damaging the callipers, wheel cylinders and anti-lock braking systems.

Why is brake fluid replacement necessary?

Your manufacturer's log book will advise how regularly your brake fluid should be changed or flushed, we recommend a drain and replacement every two years however it is wise to have it regularly checked by an expert at every service to make sure the levels are not reducing too fast (a sign of a leak) or that the moisture levels have not reached a point that could be damaging your system.

How often should I replace my brake fluid?

At Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) we offer a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report, upon request, with every full car service which includes a written review of your brake fluid, master cylinder, front and back discs and pads, callipers and cylinders and more. This inspection helps to identify any issues in your vehicle which should be addressed and our mechanics will certainly advise you if they feel your vehicle might need a brake fluid replacement, or an out of schedule brake system service or repairs.

Brake Maintenance and service in Cranbourne West

Brake maintenance - Can you stop in time?

In the realm of automotive repairs and maintenance, few services are as essential and complex as On Car Brake Disc Machining. At Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) in Cranbourne West, we offer expert and precision-oriented disc brake machining services that elevate your driving experience. But what is On Car Brake Disc Machining? Why is it critical, and what are the technical aspects you need to understand? Let's delve deeper into these pertinent topics.

On Car Brake Disc Machining involves skimming or cutting a thin layer off the disc rotor's surface to restore it to a condition as close to new as possible. This is typically necessary when the rotors become warped, scored, or corroded due to usage, heat, and exposure to elements. As the most renowned auto centre in Cranbourne West, we use high-tech tools and software to measure, resurface, and refurbish your disc rotors to provide maximum brake efficiency.

Understanding On Car Brake Disc Machining:

On Car Brake Disc Machining requires considerable skill, knowledge, and appropriate machinery. It's a procedure that eliminates discrepancies, such as warping or thickness variations, from the brake disc's surface. Utilising advanced lathing technology, Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) delivers precision disc resurfacing, removing only the necessary metal, leaving behind a perfect rotor surface for optimum braking power and longevity.

Technical Aspects of Disc Brake Machining:

One primary advantage of On Car Brake Disc Machining is it enhances your vehicle's safety and overall performance by offering smoother braking and eliminating shaking or shuddering when applying the brakes. Additionally, it can significantly increase your brake pads' lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacement and, in turn, saving you money in the long run.

On the flip side, there is a potential downside to brake disc machining. Excessive machining could result in rotors becoming too thin to effectively dissipate heat. This can compromise brake performance and safety. But fret not, at Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne), we maintain stringent standards to ensure machining is carried out optimally without reducing the rotors' integrity.
