Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Minto

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 Auto Care - Minto 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? 

The wheels of your vehicle should operate smoothly and quietly, without any rumbling, groaning or grinding sounds. 

Moreover, the steering wheel should not vibrate, unless you are driving on corrugated roads. 

If you notice any of these signs, it could be an indication of wheel bearing issues. Poorly sealed bearings or lack of lubrication are the primary causes of such problems. Worn bearings can be dangerous, as they may collapse and cause the wheel to detach from the car. Additionally, they can result in uneven tyre wear, loud noises, and vibrations in the vehicle.

Whether you require emergency repairs or regular maintenance, you can count on Auto Care - Minto. We are a Repco Authorised Service Centre with a team of experienced mechanics who can handle jobs of any size. You can rest assured that your vehicle is in good hands when you work with us. We also offer ongoing training to our mechanics through the National Auto Tech program, which keeps them updated on the latest diagnostic equipment and vehicle upgrades.

We pride ourselves on providing friendly service. We are a locally owned and operated community of mechanics who look out for our neighbors. Our wheel bearing services include repacking and adjustment of wheel bearings, hub assembly repairs and replacement, and bearing replacement.

Wheel bearing failure: symptoms and causes

The wheels on your vehicle need to operate in a smooth manner, regardless of surfaces and speeds. When there is damage to the wheel bearings, the drive is no longer smooth as friction will build up. This friction can then break down the wheel bearings and cause wear and tear on the axle.

Auto Care - Minto can give you peace of mind by advising you what is causing the loud noise or vibration in your vehicle. It may be time to come in and see our mechanics if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

These symptoms could be caused by damaged or leaking seals on the wheel bearings, issues with the hub assembly, or lack of grease on the wheel bearings.

Auto Care - Minto can advise you on what is causing the noise or vibration in your vehicle. We can provide you with peace of mind and the assurance that your vehicle is in good hands.
