 Visit MD Auto Care for regular inspections. Our brake service offers pad, fluid, rotor/drum repairs & more.

Through our 65-point vehicle report as part of a major or minor car service with MD Auto Care, we strive to make sure your vehicle's brake system remains in optimal condition. Our team of qualified technicians will identify any warning signs and recommend repair or servicing if necessary to avoid bigger issues in the future. We care about your safety.

The braking system in a car is made up of various components that work together to ensure safe and effective stopping power. Over time, wear and tear can cause these components to fail or require repairs. Below are some of the components that may need attention:

Brake pads: These are the parts of the braking system that press against the rotor to stop the car. Over time, they wear down and will need to be replaced.

Rotors: Rotors are the round, disc-shaped components that the brake pads press against to slow down the vehicle. Like brake pads, they can become worn, warped or damaged and will need to be resurfaced or replaced.

Calipers: Calipers hold the brake pads in place and clamp them onto the rotor when you press on the brake pedal. If the calipers become stuck or fail, the pads won't make proper contact with the rotor and the braking system won't work as it should.

Brake lines: The brake lines carry brake fluid from the master cylinder to the calipers. If the lines become damaged or corroded, the fluid can leak out, reducing the system's effectiveness.

Master cylinder: The master cylinder converts the force applied to the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure that activates the calipers. If it becomes damaged or worn, it may not work properly, affecting your ability to stop the car.

Brake fluid: Brake fluid is necessary to transfer pressure from the master cylinder to the calipers. If the fluid becomes contaminated or low, it can impact braking performance and increase the risk of accidents.

Keeping these components in good working condition is essential to ensure the safety of yourself and other drivers on the road. Regular inspections and maintenance can help you identify issues early and keep your brakes functioning properly.

We assess the following and replace where necessary:

Brake Disc/Rotor And Drum Machining or Resurfacing 

Don't forget to also have your suspension, steering. wheel alignment and balance inspected as they all impact on your braking system.

MD Auto Care are your right choice for new car servicing in Golden Square. 

You always have the choice of where your new or near new vehicle is serviced, maintained and repaired, at competitive prices, without voiding either the manufacturers warranty or your rights under the Consumer Guarantee.

You do not have to take the car back to the dealership who sold it to you for service or repairs. Provided the work is overseen to the manufacturers specifications by a suitably skilled person and uses tolerable quality parts and fluids, the warranty stands. 

With Repco Authorised Service you can tick all the boxes. Every MD Auto Care mechanic is fully qualified and Auto-Tech trained, giving them access to Australia's leading provider of automotive technical information and training. This means MD Auto Care mechanics are kept fully up to date with the latest in automotive service techniques and are able to service your new car without voiding the warranty.

Repco branded parts & products are manufactured to stringent Repco quality standards, and are covered by the Repco Nationwide Warranty, giving you added protection. MD Auto Care will also only ever use fluids and lubricants that meet the specifications of the original car manufacturer.

If you already own a new car or are thinking of purchasing one, make sure you clearly understand where your statutory rights begin and end

Make sure you are aware of the differences between manufacturer, statutory and extended warranties to avoid making the wrong selection when it comes to servicing your new car. You are automatically covered by a statutory warranty, also known as a Consumer Guarantee, under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and this statutory protection can never be superseded by manufacturer or express warranties (which are offered by the car maker and car dealer respectively).

A lack of disclosure requirements on car dealers at the point of sale regarding these contracts can easily lead the consumer into making a choice to be bound by a long term contract without access to all of the details needed to make a properly informed decision.

So when purchasing a new vehicle, be on guard for new car dealers who may try to include “express” or “extended” warranties, often for free. As a general rule these ‘extra' warranties may include quite comprehensive restrictions or provisions, and are not always what they are cracked up to be. Many times these promises provide no real additional benefits not already given by the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with the dealership that sold the car.

Such promises are very unlikely to focus on the potential negative aspects involved with taking a new car back to the dealer for service or repair. This includes how far you will need to go to get your car serviced or longer waiting times due to fewer available service locations or mechanics.
