Brakes are one of the most critical components of your vehicle's safety system, and keeping them in top condition is essential for a safe and smooth driving experience. At Drouin Auto Care, we understand the importance of maintaining your brakes to ensure optimal performance and peace of mind on the road. Over time, various parts of the braking system experience wear and tear, requiring timely replacements to keep everything running smoothly. By staying on top of brake maintenance, you can not only avoid costly repairs down the line but also ensure your vehicle remains safe for you and others on the road. Brake Fluid Flushing: A Key Preventative Measure Regular brake fluid flushing is an essential step in maintaining the health and functionality of your vehicle's braking system. Brake fluid plays a critical role by transferring the force from your foot on the brake pedal to the braking components that stop your car. However, over time, brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air, which reduces its efficiency and can lead to internal corrosion of the braking system.  

At Drouin Auto Care, we recommend periodic brake fluid flushing to ensure your brakes continue to perform at their best. This process involves replacing the old, contaminated brake fluid with fresh fluid to prevent damage to vital components and maintain optimal braking performance.  

By including brake fluid flushing in your vehicle's maintenance routine, you can reduce the risk of brake failure, improve overall safety, and prolong the lifespan of key braking components. Trust the experts at Drouin Auto Care to keep your brakes functioning smoothly with this simple yet effective preventative measure. Common Brake Issues and Warning Signs Recognising and addressing common brake issues is essential for maintaining your vehicle's safety and performance. Over time, the braking system can develop problems that compromise its efficiency, and identifying these issues early can prevent further damage and costly repairs.  

One of the most frequent signs of brake trouble is unusual noises, such as squealing, grinding, or clicking sounds when applying the brakes. These can indicate worn brake pads, which, if not replaced promptly, may damage the brake rotors. Similarly, vibrations or a pulsating sensation in the brake pedal can suggest warped rotors or issues with the brake callipers.  

Another common issue is a soft or spongy brake pedal, which may point to air in the brake lines, a brake fluid leak, or failing components within the hydraulic system. Additionally, a vehicle pulling to one side when braking can signal uneven wear of brake pads or problems with the brake callipers.  

At Drouin Auto Care, our experienced technicians are equipped to diagnose and address these issues effectively. We recommend addressing any warning signs promptly to avoid compromising your safety or causing more extensive damage to the braking system. Regular brake inspections, which are included in our comprehensive vehicle safety checks, allow us to catch potential issues early, keeping your vehicle in optimal working condition. 

For peace of mind on the road, trust Drouin Auto Care to ensure your braking system remains reliable and safe. Brake Inspections and Vehicle Condition Reports At Drouin Auto Care, we prioritise your safety by thoroughly inspecting your brakes during every service. Our skilled technicians carefully assess the condition of essential braking components such as brake pads, rotors, callipers, and brake fluid levels. These inspections are part of the safety check included with every service, ensuring your vehicle remains in excellent working condition.

To help you stay informed about the state of your vehicle, we provide a detailed vehicle condition report following each service. This report highlights any current or potential issues with your braking system, allowing you to plan for necessary repairs or replacements before they become critical. By addressing wear and tear early, you can avoid unexpected breakdowns, maintain optimal safety, and extend the life of your braking system. 

Regular brake inspections are not just a preventative measure but an investment in your peace of mind on the road. Trust Drouin Auto Care to provide the expertise and transparency needed to keep your braking system in top condition, so you can drive with confidence. Don’t wait for warning signs to appear—book your service today and let our skilled technicians help keep your vehicle in top condition.

Best tyre service in Drouin Inspecting your tyres regularly is one of the most effective ways to ensure that your car and family are secure when out on the road. Paying attention to your tyres and replacing them when necessary is a fundamental element of vehicle maintenance. Having sound tyres is a pivotal component for the overall security and operation of your vehicle as they are the only component in contact with the road, affecting the ability to break, corner and speed up safely. The lack of tread on a tyre can add 10 metres of extra distance to come to a stop on a wet surface, while incorrect pressure can increase fuel usage by up to 3%. The price of tyres is a major expense and by taking good care of them you can expand their lifespan, thus saving you money. At Drouin Auto Care we sell a wide range of tyres to suit vehicles of all shapes, sizes and uses. If you have any doubts about the safety of your tyres please don't hesitate to come and see us for a bit of advice. We provide a free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report with every full car service here at Drouin Auto Care which includes a check of all five tyres (including your spare) and we will certainly advise you of any issues we feel could be affecting your car or that could extend your existing tyre life. Tyre fitting, balancing and alignment Drouin Our John Bean laser wheel aligner and computerised wheel balancing machine will take care of the vibrations, and uneven wear further helping to reduce steering and suspension wear. Quite a large number of tyres have to be replaced due to use while under-inflated, causing premature wear and breakage. At Drouin Auto Care, our mechanics will inspect if the tread on each tyre is at least 1.6mm deep across the central three quarters of the tread width going around the complete circumference of the tyre. Then we will make sure that your tyres are correctly fitted to each axle, if they are the same size, type and structure. We will also inspect if there are any serious cuts or bulges on the tyres.

Log Book Servicing is a proactive approach to car maintenance where regular inspections and small fixes keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently to prevent small problems turning into major damage and issues which could otherwise be very costly to repair. Every passenger car (and most commercials vehicles) should be issued with a “Log Book” by the manufacturer, which lays out the specified timing and agenda for your regular log book services. You should keep your log book in your glove box for reference and recording any details, but Drouin Auto Care can also refer to our database to get the required information if you've misplaced your book. The schedule of the service will be a combination of both time or distance. You may be tempted to delay your next log book service because your car is probably still driveable and it may not have reached BOTH the time and distance measures. While you obviously need to find availability in your budget and schedule, don't delay too long because wear and tear on the car will increase exponentially and could lead to damage which is many times more expensive than the log book service would have been. What's included? Every car is different and the agenda for each service changes according to the schedule, which is why each vehicle is issued with a log book. Here are some examples of what can be included: Change Oil Check Coolant Check Car Battery Check Transmission Fluid Check Brake Fluid Check the Condition of the Air Filter Check Power Steering Fluid Check Spark Plugs Check Turn Signals Check Brake Lights Check Heating System Brake Check Belt Check Hose Check Tyre Rotation Coolant Sensor  For a qualified Log Book Service at a competitive price, contact us at Drouin Auto Care or book online.

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.
