As a car owner, it's easy to overlook the importance of regular brake maintenance. However, brake pads play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and functionality of your vehicle. In this article, we'll discuss why brake maintenance is critical, and the importance of replacing your brake pads.﻿ The function of brake Pads We need to understand the role of brake pads in order to comprehend the importance of replacing them routinely. They form an essential component of the braking system, which functions by creating friction with the rotors in order to reduce the speed of the vehicle or bring it to a halt. However, the action of brake pads is accompanied by a significant amount of wear and tear. This necessitates their routine maintenance.﻿ Why brake pads require routine maintenance The primary reason behind needing to regularly replace brake pads is the intense pressure and friction that they endure. With prolonged usage, these will lead to thinning of the pads and, consequently, a decline in the brakes' capacity to stop the vehicle. Thus, to maintain the effectiveness of the brakes, brake pads must be swapped out as per a set schedule.﻿ Signs that indicate brake pads need replacement It can be difficult to determine when brake pads should be changed. Nevertheless, some tell-tale signs can be observed, such as screeching or grinding sounds when brakes are used, pulsations in the brake pedal, and a warning light for brakes illuminated. In case you experience any of these, you should get your brakes checked immediately.﻿ Consequences of not replacing worn-out brake pads The consequences of neglecting to change out worn-out brake pads can be dire. It can result in harm to the other components of the braking system, including rotors and calipers. Moreover, there will be a decreased capacity to stop the vehicle, thus making it more prone to accidents. This, in turn, will lead to a need for extensive repairs that will prove costly in the long run.﻿ How regular brake maintenance can save time and money One may consider routine brake maintenance a hassle. But it actually provides benefits that include avoiding hefty repair costs down the line and preventing accidents that can lead to hefty medical bills and legal fees. Therefore, by being proactive and replacing brake pads when due, you can actually save a lot of time and money.﻿ Tips for taking a proactive approach to brake maintenance The first and foremost advice for taking a proactive approach to brake maintenance is to get your brakes inspected frequently - at least once a year, and more often if you do a lot of driving. Additionally, you must immediately act upon any indication of brake issues, rather than just brushing them off, and take professional help when required. This will help ensure that the brakes are always functioning as they should and lower the odds of an accident.﻿ When it comes to brake maintenance, it is advisable to consult with an expert. An experienced mechanic will have the ability to thoroughly examine your brakes, detect potential issues, and recommend the best course of action for ensuring your vehicle is kept in peak condition. Rather than wait until your brakes have failed, schedule regular check-ups to be prepared.﻿ Common problems associated with worn-out brake pads The typical problems caused by worn-out brake pads are slow response time, brakes vibrating or shaking, and reduced stopping power. If any of these issues is noticed, it is vital to immediately have your brakes inspected to minimise the possibility of an accident.﻿ The impact of worn-out brake pads on tyres Another issue related to brake pads that have become too thin is the effect it can have on tyres. This is because worn-out brake pads can cause uneven gripping of the tyres, thus leading to uneven or accelerated wear and tear and making it necessary to replace the tyres sooner than expected.﻿ Keeping your brakes well-maintained is key to the performance and safety of your vehicle With regular check-ups, professional help when necessary, and timely replacement of brake pads, you can help avoid common problems, maintain the functionality of your vehicle, and steer clear of costly repairs in the long run. So book your car in with Tradecore Industries without delay if you notice anything at all that suggest your brakes need some attention.

Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even be aware that there is a clutch in your vehicle. Without it, the gears in your car will not change. Tradecore Industries in McDougall Hill Singleton know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below. What is a clutch? The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to spin, but what happens when your car needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop spinning but the wheels need to. It's the clutch that allows this to happen. The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run. What is clutch fluid? Some vehicles have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. Leaking clutch fluid can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At Tradecore Industries in McDougall Hill Singleton we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you in the course of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection - which you can request as part of every car service.
 What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing You should have your clutch inspected if: You notice a burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle Your vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason There is jerky or sticky gear operation Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it could mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine. The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is contact your local mechanics at Tradecore Industries today. We can perform clutch diagnostics, service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our McDougall Hill Singleton workshop.

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), an environmentally friendlier class of chemical refrigerants, 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.

Keep your cool without global warming, have your AC service professionally performed to protect our environment.
