If you're hearing squeaking or squealing when you're stopping, it may be time to replace your brake pads. Michael Baker Automotive can provide expert brake pad replacement service using quality parts, all covered by our Nationwide Warranty. We can also perform inspection, repairs or replacement of many other brake components such as: Brake Pads Brake Drums Brake Calipers Brake Rotors Brake Hoses/Clips/Springs Wheel Cylinders Wheel Bearings Master Cylinders What are brake pads? Your brake pads are an essential factor of your braking system and they are a part that should never be ignored. Brake pads compress against your brake rotors to create friction in order for your car to stop. Brake pads work really hard, really often. The amount of pressure required to stop a moving vehicle is enormous and gives off a lot of heat which erodes the brake pads. Worn brake pads means impaired braking which is dangerous for you and others. Which is why consistent testing and assessments of the condition of your brake pads is crucial. How do I know when it's time for a brake pad replacement? If your brakes squeak or squeal - that can be an indication that your brake pads are due for a change; many pads have a small metal piece implanted in them which scrapes on the disc when your brake pads are wearing out, causing that high pitch noise. However, this doesn't indicate that you should wait until you hear noises to get your pads checked, we advise having your brakes inspected at every service. It is important to remember that brake noises are not only caused by normal wear and any unusual noises anywhere in your car should always be investigated by a qualified professional mechanic. 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. How often should I replace my car brake pads? Car brake pads can last anywhere between 15,000 to 70,000 km's. This can vary due to a number of elements such as; regular heavy loads, driving style and conditions. If your brake pads are wearing out prematurely your mechanic might advise using a heat resistant or heavier duty brake pad more suited to your vehicle. Larger vehicles such as 4wds, SUV's, light commercials, and trucks often require heavy duty brake pads to cope with the additional load placed on them by the vehicles mass. Vehicles that often tow heavy loads are also candidates for a heavy duty brake pad upgrade. Can I change the brake pads myself? Some things are best left to the experts 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.  When it comes to brakes, you should never take a risk. If you're not sure if your brake maintenance is 100% - speak with the professionals  Michael Baker Automotive in Blayney today, or book online!

At Michael Baker Automotive we provide expert brake pad replacement service using quality parts, covered by our Nationwide Warranty.

However, ensuring your car is in top condition is vital for a safe and enjoyable journey.  Here are some essential tips to check your car before hitting the open road: Tyre Check: Start by inspecting your tyres for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure they are inflated to the recommended pressure. Don’t forget to check the spare tyre as well! Fluid Levels: Check all the fluid levels, including engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Keeping these fluids at the right levels is crucial for the smooth operation of your vehicle. Brakes: Test your brakes before you leave. Listen for any unusual noises and ensure the brake pedal feels firm. If you notice any issues, it's important to have them inspected by a professional. Lights and Indicators: Ensure all your lights, including headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals, are working correctly. This is crucial for your safety and that of other road users. Battery Health: Check the battery for any signs of corrosion or loose connections. If your battery is over three years old, consider having it tested to avoid any roadside surprises. Wipers and Windshield: Inspect your windshield for any cracks or chips. Ensure your wipers are in good condition to handle any unexpected rain. Emergency Kit: Carry an emergency kit that includes a first aid kit, flashlight, jumper cables, and basic tools. Being prepared can make a significant difference in unexpected situations.

Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.
