Premier Brake Maintenance for Road Safety in Childers with Whites Tractor & Auto

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 Whites Tractor & Auto 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.

Do you check the brake fluids during a car service?

Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work.

Brake fluid - what is it and why do I need it? 

Whites Tractor & Auto care about your tyres and your safety.

Properly inflated tyres are essential to ensuring your safety on the road. Underinflated tyres are more prone to punctures, blowouts, and uneven wear. Overinflated tyres, on the other hand, can lead to reduced traction and a rough ride. Be sure to check your tyre pressure at least once a month, or before embarking on a long trip.

To prevent uneven wear on your tyres, it's important to rotate them regularly. This means moving them from one position on your car to another. Front tyres wear faster than rear tyres, so rotating them helps to balance the wear and tear. Check your car manual for specific recommendations on how often to rotate your tyres.

Professional wheel alignment ensures that your tyres are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the road. This prevents them from wearing unevenly, and also helps you maintain control of your car while driving. Misaligned wheels can cause your car to drift or pull to one side, which can be dangerous. Have your alignment checked by your local professional mechanics at Whites Tractor & Auto at least once a year.

By following these three simple tyre care tips, you can extend the life of your tyres and ensure your safety on the road. Regular maintenance not only prevents accidents but also saves you money in the long run. Stay safe, and happy driving!

Why get tyres from Whites Tractor & Auto?

Whites Tractor & Auto are independently owned and operated and known locally for our honest service, years of experience and knowledge. We have a range of tyres and specialist equipment to perform your new tyre fitting or wheel alignment and balance. All our work is backed by the Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty.

While checking your tyres is something you can do yourself, as professionals Whites Tractor & Auto can check out the internal condition of your tyres as well as the entire outside surface and they are well aware of the correct methods of disassembly, repair and reassembly, along with any manufacturer or legal requirements involved.

Whites Tractor & Auto can also advise you if there are any problems with your tyres, your wheel alignment, tyre balance or other areas of your car affecting your tyres such as brakes or suspension which you should be aware of to protect you and your vehicle, including the tyres themselves.

Over time, tyres will inevitably experience wear and tear, which can be accelerated by frequent hard braking, high-speed driving, and bumpy road surfaces. If there are no underlying issues such as uneven wear or bald spots, the best way to determine whether or not your tyres require replacement is to assess their tread depth. While the legal minimum varies, a good guideline is to consider replacing your tyres when the tread depth reaches around 1.6mm.

The significance of the tyre's tread lies in its ability to provide traction for propelling the car forward, as well as the necessary friction for safe and efficient stopping. Furthermore, the tread facilitates the dispersion of water from the tyre surface, preventing the dangerous occurrence of aquaplaning and ensuring maximum grip and control. In wet driving conditions, a decrease in tread depth directly correlates to a reduction in control, further emphasizing the importance of maintaining adequate tyre tread.

No matter how well you care for your tyres there will come a time when the only option for maintaining safety, comfort and fuel economy of your car is to have the tyres replaced, such as when they have reached the minimum tread depth. Whites Tractor & Auto supply and fit a range of tyres suitable for most vehicle types in our Childers car service workshop

Follow these expert tyre care tips from Whites Tractor & Auto in Childers to prevent blowouts and extend the lifespan of your car tyres. Keep your wheels secure on the road for a smooth driving experience.
