Brake Maintenance - Don't let 'nothing' stop you!

When it comes to Brake Maintenance, you should never take a risk.

If you're not sure your brake maintenance is 100% - call a professional like D & D Mechanical & 4WD without delay.

Maintaining your brakes means not waiting until they need repairs or you find they are not up to the task of stopping you safely in an emergency situation. D & D Mechanical & 4WD provide expert brake maintenance and service using quality parts, covered by our Nationwide Warranty.

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 allows you to feel confident in knowing that your brakes will be in good working order when you need them most.

Some things are best left to experienced mechanics and this is one of them. You should never let anyone but a qualified professional touch something as key to your safety as your braking system.

Brake Maintenance - Brake Pads

Your brake pads are a vital part of your braking system and they are a part that should never be overlooked.

Brake pads compress against your brake rotors to create friction and this friction makes your car stop. The force necessary to halt a moving vehicle is massive and gives off a lot of heat which wears down the brake pads over time. This is why regular inspection and/or replacement of your brake pads is an integral part of good brake maintenance practices.

We offer a Free Vehicle Inspection Report with every car service. As part of our Vehicle Inspection Report we inspect the brake pads for wear and will tell you if they want replacing. We can also recommend the right pad for your driving style and conditions.

Brake Maintenance - Fluid Flush

Most people are aware that it is important 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? Simply because it looks clean doesn't mean it's actually in good condition. Moisture accumulating in the brake fluid is not always noticeable in a visual inspection.
