When you discover your car no longer stops as well as it used to or it now has a tendency for rocking and rolling when you corner, it might be time for Safe-T-Stop test.

Your car's braking and suspension play an important part in making sure that your car stops quickly and safely. Here at Fleurieu Automotive in Victor Harbor we take your safety very seriously. This is why we have invested in a state of the art Safe-T-Stop testing machine and we are an approved Safe-T-Stop Testing Centre.

You can trust your family's safety to a Safe-T-Stop test. It provides an added safety inspection that goes far beyond a common check and road test to scientifically test your braking capacity and ensure maximum stopping performance.

A Safe-T-Stop test is carried out on the PlateTronic test equipment where the Safe-T-Stop test lanes measure and simulate a vehicle's brake performance in real-life conditions, exactly like it would happen on the road - but without leaving the workshop.

Along with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your car will stop straight and in the shortest possible distance in an emergency, having your braking and suspension system in peak operating condition will also help save you money by minimising tyre drag and tyre wear which can increase petrol costs.

A Safe-T-Stop check will give you a precise and detailed printed report that will enable the qualified technicians at Fleurieu Automotive to advise you on any critical adjustments that should be made.

Book your Safe-T-Stop test online or call Fleurieu Automotive today.

Tyres are perhaps the most constantly used part of your car - whenever you drive, the tyres get worn.

Given the constant stress tyres are under each day, carrying the weight of the car across varying road conditions, not to mention excessive friction from both driving and braking, it is not too hard to understand  the need to look after your tyres. Pay attention and care to your tyres and they will generally reward you with prolonged life. Accurate tyre pressure and regular maintenance can save a few minutes from your commute every day - and a whole lot of money in long term car maintenance and repairs.

Fleurieu Automotive offers comprehensive tyre repairs and maintenance services. Whether performing a simple visual inspection, tyre rotation, ensuring proper air pressure, repairing a damaged tyre, or fixing a flat tyre, our mechanics can help you to keep moving, enhance wheel safety and even reduce fuel consumption.

When you bring your car in for a tyre service at Fleurieu Automotive, our mechanics will visually inspect the tyres and confirm the needed tyre service. Our tyre services include;

Inspecting tyre threads to ensure that the thread on each tyre is at least 1.6mm deep across* 

Ensuring that your tyres are correctly fitted to each axle and are the same size, type and structure

Inspecting for any serious cuts or bulges on your car tyres

*(the minimum legal limit in Australia is 1.6mm deep across central three quarters of thread width going around the complete circumference of the tyre, however it is recommended to replace tyres at 3mm tread depth or less - before your tyres reach this critical legal limit) 

When you need a dependable tyre service centre, whether your car tyres need to be rotated, balanced, repaired or replaced, be assured that Fleurieu Automotive mechanics have got you covered for these and other car services, including Wheel Alignments and Wheel Balancing.
