Keeping your vehicle in top condition is essential for a safe and comfortable driving experience, and proper wheel alignment plays a crucial role in achieving this. Misaligned wheels can lead to uneven tyre wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and compromised handling, all of which impact your car's performance and safety.

The Importance of Proper Wheel Alignment Proper wheel alignment is essential for maintaining the overall performance, safety, and longevity of your vehicle. When your wheels are aligned correctly, the angles are adjusted to meet the precise specifications set by the manufacturer. This ensures even tyre wear, improving fuel efficiency and enhancing the handling of your car. Misaligned wheels, on the other hand, can cause uneven wear on your tyres, reducing their lifespan and potentially compromising your safety on the road.

Safety is another critical factor. Poor alignment can affect how your car responds, particularly during emergency manoeuvres or under challenging driving conditions. It may lead to pulling to one side, vibrations, or difficulty steering, which can significantly impact your control over the vehicle. By addressing alignment issues promptly, you can avoid these hazards and ensure your car remains stable and reliable.

Wheel Alignment Services for Safer Driving in Highton

Working brakes save lives but brake repairs are what many people tend to consider when it comes to thinking about their brakes and being safe on the roads. Focusing on brake maintenance is far more vital to passenger safety.  Maintaining your brakes means not waiting until they need repairs but having them checked on a regular basis to help avoid any unseen or unexpected problems which might impact your ability to brake safely and efficiently should the need arise.  Regular brake maintenance means that you can relax knowing that your brakes will be in good working order when you need them the most; in an emergency situation! When it comes to Brake Maintenance, you should never take a risk. If you're not sure if your brake maintenance is 100% - call a professional like Highton Automotive Services without delay. Brake Maintenance - Fluid Flushing Brake fluid provides the pressure needed by the brake pads to stop your car. It also helps prolong the lifespan of your various brake components by helping to prevent corrosion. Most people know that it is imperative to keep the brake fluid level topped up, but did you know that you should also have the entire system flushed regularly to replace old brake fluid and prevent excessive moisture in the fluid? Checking your brake fluid regularly yourself is good common sense, but don't rely on it's appearance to indicate the actual condition of the fluid. Simply because it looks clean doesn't mean it's actually in good condition. Moisture can accumulate in the brake fluid and it's not always noticeable in a visual inspection. Moisture in the fluid increases the chance the fluid will boil, which could result in a loss of braking pressure. A visual inspection is not sufficient to identify excess moisture in your brake fluid. A brake fluid flush can be done as part of a scheduled service - but sometimes we may suggest you need one outside of a regular schedule if we feel it's necessary. We are always happy to discuss the reasons why with you. Brake Maintenance - Brake Pads Your brake pads are a vital part of your braking system and they are a part that you should monitor on a regular basis. Brake pads compress against your brake rotors (using the pressure of the brake fluid) to create friction and this friction makes your car stop. Unfortunately the amount of heat generated when stopping a significant mass (the vehicle) also wears down the brake pads over time. Regular inspection and/or replacement of your brake pads is an integral part of good brake maintenance practices. Brake Pads can last for anywhere between 15,000 to 70,000 km's. This changes according to a number of reasons such as; driving conditions and style, regular heavy loads. If your brake pads are wearing out ahead of time your mechanic might advise using a heat resistant or heavier duty brake pad more suited to your vehicle. Brakes that squeal can be a warning that your brake pads are wearing out. Many good quality brake pads have a small metal piece embedded in them designed to purposely scratch on the disc when your brake pads are degraded, causing that high pitch noise. However, it's not advised to wait until you hear noises to get your pads assessed, we recommend having your brakes inspected at every service. It is important to remember that noisy brakes are not only caused by normal wear and any unusual noises anywhere in your car should always be investigated by a qualified professional mechanic. At Highton Automotive Services we offer a free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report with every car service. As part of our Vehicle Inspection Report we inspect the brake pads for wear and let you know if they require replacing. We can also recommend the right pad for your local conditions and driving style. Highton Automotive Services are qualified to perform a wide range of brake services and repairs using quality parts, all covered by our nationwide warranty; Brake Pads Brake Drums Brake Calipers Brake Rotors Brake Hoses/Clips/Springs Wheel Cylinders Wheel Bearings Master Cylinders Brake Flushing At Highton Automotive Services we offer a Vehicle Inspection report, upon request, with every full car service which includes a written review of your brake system and more. This Vehicle Inspection Report lets you know if there is immediate or future need for repairs to your vehicle allowing you to budget in advance.

Brake Maintenance - Do you know what is stopping you?

Nobody's got time to be "that car" stuck on the side of the road with steam pouring from under the bonnet. The Radiator & Engine Cooling System is the AC for Your Engine! Overheating car's are not just caused by hot weather. The engine produces a significant amount of heat, and it's to the cooling system and radiator that the task of preventing your car, and you, from being damaged by all that heat falls. Coolant is added to your system to allow the cooling process to take place whilst also preventing liquids from freezing and protecting the system from rust as well. Given time rust and scale deposits build up and the whole system becomes choked and not as good at cooling and protecting your car. This build up of rust and debris can damage components of your cooling system including your water pump, radiator, hoses and thermostat, this can reduce the lifespan of those parts and leading to expensive repairs or replacements in the future. If your car is constantly running hotter than normal, regularly overheats or tends to leave puddles where you park it is probably best to have your cooling system checked out by a suitably qualified mechanic such as the team at Highton Automotive Services. We can perform a well deserved service on your radiator and cooling system by undertaking a proper radiator flush if required. Using a dedicated solution designed to remove any build up the cooling system is flushed through, the cleansing fluid is removed and the system filled with new coolant solution. Your car's cooling system will be running like a dream. Your radiator will be more efficient - and it will last a lot longer.  Your engine will be more efficient and have an increased life expectancy.  Boost the performance and power of your engine  Lubricate and protect your water pump. Your car's log book makes recommendations for how often to flush your cooling system, It is generally suggested that you have your system flushed every two years or 40,000 km's whichever comes first. However, the size of your engine, local weather type, the quality of your existing coolant, and the total km's driven can all have an effect on how regular you'll need to replace the coolant in your radiator. At Highton Automotive Services, we provide at your request a Vehicle Inspection Report for free as part of any minor, major or log book service on your vehicle. This includes checking the coolant in your system and the written report will tell you if we feel a radiator flush, coolant replacement or any repairs are required to maintain the safety and performance of your vehicle.

Overheating car's are not just caused by hot weather. The engine produces a significant amount of heat, and it's to the cooling system and radiator that the task of preventing your car, and you, from being damaged by all that heat falls...
