Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Melton South

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 P & L Mechanical Services 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? 

Want to know if it's time to replace your shock absorbers? Noticing some symptoms of a bad or failing shock absorber?

P & L Mechanical Services offer the quick and reliable method for testing shock absorbers - Monroe Shock Absorber Tester.

The best way to ensure your shock absorbers are functioning at top condition, schedule Suspension and Shock Absorber inspection at P & L Mechanical - call us now or book a service online.

P & L Mechanical Services use industry standard cordless hand-held Monroe Shock Absorber Tester to determine the performance individual shock absorbers, identifying when they are worn and need to be replaced.

Immediate analysis takes minutes and provides accurate test on all four corners of the vehicle and provides a printed report.

Many workshops only look for leaking shock absorbers. Since all moving parts wear, shocks are no different. The Monroe Shock Absorber Tester employs both the “rebound method" and “damping ratio”, taking out all the guesswork and offer an accurate diagnosis on your shock absorber performance.

Industry averages show that shock absorbers are replaced in 8 out of every 100 cars inspected. Sadly, many workshop averages are much lower than this, which could result in customers' vehicles not being as safe as they could be.

To make sure your shock absorbers are in best condition, please call us now or book online to schedule your best servicing time.

When it comes to brakes, you should never wait until brake repairs are necessary.  

Proper testing and routine checkups, such as our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection which we provide with all full car services, are important to ensure your vehicle's brake system is in top condition. Our expert team of technicians will be happy to advise you when they suspect that service or repair of your brake system is indicated to stop it becoming a bigger issue.
