Regular brake maintenance is crucial to prevent sudden brake failure and the potential for accidents. Don't wait until you're in an emergency; ensure your brakes are always reliable and efficient.

At Jiffy Car Care, we dedicate ourselves to delivering top-notch brake maintenance services, utilising premium parts backed by our comprehensive nationwide warranty. We understand that maintaining your brakes is essential not only for repairs but also to ensure they perform optimally during critical times.

When it comes to your vehicle's safety, there is no room for compromise. Should you have the slightest concern about your brakes, we urge you to contact Jiffy Car Care in  without delay. Our skilled technicians are ready to evaluate and address any brake-related issues with expertise and precision.

Keep in mind that brake issues don't produce noise without reason; thus, it's essential to have a skilled technician examine your brakes if you hear any unusual sounds emanating from your vehicle.

Among the essential elements of your brake system, brake pads play a pivotal role. Their lifespan can vary significantly, spanning from 15,000 to 70,000 kilometers, influenced by factors such as driving habits, heavy loads, and additional conditions. Should you observe an unusually rapid wear of your brake pads, your Jiffy Car Care mechanic might recommend opting for heat-resistant or heavy-duty alternatives that suit your vehicle.

One must bear in mind that halting a moving vehicle demands substantial force, which generates considerable heat and gradually wears down the brake pads. Therefore, routine inspections and timely replacements of brake pads are crucial components of effective brake maintenance.

Quality brake pads often come with a small metal component that degrades over time and scratches the brake disc, creating that noise. Rather than waiting until you hear the noise to have your pads assessed, it's best to have your brakes checked regularly at every service.

In addition to maintaining the brake fluid at an optimal level, it's essential to periodically flush the entire brake system to replace aged fluid and avert the buildup of excess moisture. Regularly inspecting your brake fluid is vital to confirm its cleanliness and proper condition. Despite appearing clean, the fluid can still harbor moisture, underscoring the importance of consistent system flushing.

At Jiffy Car Care, our expert technicians offer comprehensive brake services and repairs, utilising top-notch parts that are all backed by our nationwide warranty. Our services encompass everything from brake pads and drums to calipers, rotors, hoses, clips, springs, wheel cylinders, wheel bearings, and master cylinders.

Ensuring your vehicle's safety hinges on proper brake maintenance. Don’t jeopardise your well-being by overlooking this crucial aspect. At Jiffy Car Care, our skilled technicians and top-tier parts are at your service. Contact us today to book your brake maintenance appointment.

About Jiffy Car Care - Car service in Jandakot

If your tyres are in poor condition they may be unsafe or even illegal as well as costing you money...

Jiffy Car Care understands the significance of tyres and wheels when it comes to vehicle safety, efficiency, and lifespan. The tyres on your vehicle play an integral role in its functionality and can affect your driving experience. Not only can poorly maintained tyres pose a safety hazard, but they can also cost you money in fuel expenses and, in some cases, result in legal penalties.

Tyres that are worn or damaged can significantly reduce your vehicle's traction and, therefore, require more fuel consumption. This could lead to more significant expenses, given the consistent surge in fuel prices. Therefore, maintaining the condition of your tyres should be a top priority to ensure cost-efficiency and a smooth driving experience.

Aside from reduced traction, worn or damaged tyres can also impact the performance of your vehicle's braking system. Jiffy Car Care in Jandakot understand this and can advise you on the best options for your car or driving needs. If you experience vibrations, poor handling, low tyre tread, difficulty maintaining correct pressure, or any visible damage to your tyres, do not hesitate to bring your vehicle in for a comprehensive check-up.

Tyres eventually wear out over time, an unavoidable process which is quickened by hard braking and regular high speed driving as well as uneven road surfaces. Unless there are problems causing uneven tyre wear or bald spots or there is other significant damage, the depth of the tread on the tyre is usually the best indicator your tyres are due for replacement. Although the legal minimum tread depth varies, a good rule of thumb is when tread depth is approaching 1.6mm you should think about buying new tyres.

Tread on a tyre is very important as this is where you get the traction to both move the car forwards and also the friction required to stop safely and efficiently. Tread is also the method by which water is dissipated away from the tyre surface in a way which prevents aquaplaning and maintaining maximum grip and control. The less tread depth you have, the less control you will have in wet driving conditions.

Tyres generally last between six to ten years and the better you look after them the more chance there is that it will be the latter rather than the former.

Tyre pressure is not just important to ensure you get the best fuel economy from your vehicle. Incorrect tyre pressure is a common cause of tyre damage as pressure and wear is directed at areas of the tyre not designed to take it. Perhaps most importantly the pressure of your tyres can have a direct impact on the driveability, and therefore the safety, of the vehicle.

You should check your tyres yourself on a regular basis to ensure they are in good condition. Be on the lookout for bald or flat spots, tears and cuts in the surface of the tyre and any foreign objects likely to cause problems such as stones, nails and other road debris. You should also have a tyre professional give them a check on a regular basis as they have the knowledge and equipment to properly check the entire tyre and may spot issues you simply don't see.

Tyres will suffer from wear and tear at varying rates. The front and rear tyres for example will wear at different rates as front tyres generally carry more weight than rear ones, meaning faster heat build-up and therefore increased wear. The tyres on either side of your car will also tend to wear at different rates to those on the opposite side.

Having your tyres rotated regularly, every 8000 to 10,000 km for example, can help to ensure that all of your tyres wear at a similar rate and in the same places. Jiffy Car Care will be happy to undertake this task for you and inspect each tyre as they do it, letting you know of any issues that might present a problem or you should otherwise be aware of. We can undertake all types of tyre rotation for you including Cross rotation, straight rotation, 5 wheel rotation and four wheel drive rotation.

Will a regular wheel alignment or balance help look after tyres?

Regular wheel alignment helps to protect against premature or uneven tyre wear, increases the safety and handling of your vehicle and improves ride performance and fuel efficiency. Wheel balancing helps to minimise vibration through the wheels, thereby minimising premature or uneven tyre wear. Either wheel service (or both) will go a long way in helping to maximise the life of your tyres along with safety and handling benefits.

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.

Tips for taking car of your tyres from Jiffy Car Care

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 Jiffy Car Care 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.
