European and Luxury vehicle car service and repairs in Bowen

Taking a chance with your brakes isn't advisable. Excellence in Automotive in Bowen is here to provide assistance and put your mind at ease. Routinely flushing your brake fluid will help to strengthen your stopping ability.

Excellence in Automotive are qualified to perform a wide range of brake services and repairs using quality parts, all covered by our Nationwide Warranty.

If you don't regularly change your brake fluid, it will start to break down. This means it won't work as well, and you won't be able to stop as quickly. The breakdown can even cause bubbles and pockets of air to form, which further slows down your brakes. If this happens, you could end up in a dangerous situation where a few seconds could make the difference between avoiding an accident and having one, which could risk lives and property.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it attracts and absorbs moisture. As moisture builds up in the system, it can lead to corrosion and damage to critical components such as brake lines and the master cylinder. This can result in leaks, reduced brake functionality, and potentially expensive repairs.

Brake fluid can also become contaminated with dirt, debris, and other impurities, which can cause it to break down and corrode the metal parts of the braking system. 

When it comes to brake safety - we don't stop - so you will when you really need to.

At Excellence in Automotive 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, calipers and cylinders and more. This report lets you know if there is an immediate or future need for repairs to your vehicle allowing you to be safe or budget in advance.

Excellence in Automotive know that clean brake fluid not only protects your safety - it also prolongs the life of your braking system components by preventing corrosion…

Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Bowen

As the main role of tyres is to keep your car in contact with the road, they play a vital role in the safety and stopping power of your car.

Regular service checks can monitor the condition of your tyres and also allow us to perform wheel alignment and wheel balancing. This low-cost service will greatly improve your driving experience. Excellence in Automotive offers tire maintenance and component services as well as advice on which type of tire is best for your car.

Why get tyre and wheel services from Excellence in Automotive?

Excellence in Automotive are independently owned and operated and known locally for our honest service, years of experience and knowledge. We have a range of tyres and specialist equipment to perform your new tyre fitting or wheel alignment and balance. All our work is backed by the Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty.

While checking your tyres is something you can do yourself, as professionals Excellence in Automotive can check out the internal condition of your tyres as well as the entire outside surface and they are well aware of the correct methods of disassembly, repair and reassembly, along with any manufacturer or legal requirements involved.

Excellence in Automotive can also advise you if there are any problems with your tyres, your wheel alignment, tyre balance or other areas of your car affecting your tyres such as brakes or suspension which you should be aware of to protect you and your vehicle, including the tyres themselves.

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. Excellence in Automotive 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.
