Book Early for Safe and Smooth Holiday Trips As Easter draws nearer, the excitement of school holidays, long weekends, and family road trips begins to build. It’s the perfect time to plan adventures, visit loved ones, or simply enjoy a relaxing break… However, amidst all the preparation, one crucial aspect often gets overlooked – your vehicle. Many drivers wait until the last minute to book their car service, only to find workshops fully booked. To avoid this Easter rush and ensure your car is in top condition for holiday travel, it’s wise to arrange your servicing early. Why Early Bookings Are Essential Easter is a busy period for mechanics. Families are gearing up for road trips, and the demand for vehicle servicing skyrockets. By booking your service well in advance, you secure a spot at a time that suits you and avoid the disappointment of missing out. Whether you’re heading out on the open road or staying within Launceston, your vehicle should be ready to handle anything the holidays throw your way. Early preparation means less stress and more time to focus on enjoying the Easter break. The Importance of Regular Vehicle Maintenance Routine car servicing is more than just a recommendation; it’s a necessity. Regular maintenance keeps your vehicle running smoothly, improves fuel efficiency, and reduces the risk of breakdowns. Imagine heading off on a long Easter drive only to find yourself stranded on the side of the road – a situation no one wants to face. Regular servicing not only enhances performance but also ensures the safety of you and your passengers. Holiday driving often involves heavy loads, extended travel distances, and varying road conditions. These factors put additional strain on your vehicle. Regular servicing helps identify potential issues before they escalate into major problems. It’s an investment in your car’s reliability, saving you from costly repairs down the track and ensuring peace of mind during busy travel periods. Preparing for Easter Road Trips or Local Driving Even if you’re staying in Launceston this Easter, ensuring your car is in prime condition is still essential. Everyday driving can take its toll on your vehicle, and regular servicing keeps everything in check. During a typical service, mechanics undertake a range of tasks designed to maintain the safety and longevity of your car. Key checks and services include: Brake Inspection: Ensuring your brakes are in optimal condition is vital for safety, especially during stop-start traffic or downhill drives Oil and Filter Change: Fresh oil keeps your engine lubricated and running efficiently, while a clean filter helps remove contaminants. Tyre Condition and Pressure Check: Tyres are your car’s connection to the road. Proper pressure and good tread ensure better handling, improved fuel economy, and safer driving. A reliable battery is essential for smooth starts, particularly after colder nights or extended periods of inactivity. Coolant and Fluid Levels: From engine coolant to brake fluid, ensuring all levels are topped up and functioning as they should is critical for performance and safety. Suspension and Steering Check: Smooth and controlled driving depends on a well-maintained suspension and steering system. Lights and Wipers: Visibility is non-negotiable. Mechanics ensure your headlights, indicators, and windscreen wipers are in perfect working order. These are just a few of the essential tasks carried out during regular servicing, helping to keep your car safe and roadworthy. Why Choose Pride Autos & LPG?

Are you looking for reliable brake service, repair and testing in Launceston? Look no further than our professional technicians who are skilled in all aspects of brake maintenance. Your vehicle's brakes are one of the most critical components of its safety system. As such, it is essential to ensure they are working at their optimal capacity at all times. In this article, we will explore the different types of brake services available to you at our Launceston based car service workshop. Routine examinations like our 65 point vehicle report, which is provided with every full car service provided at Pride Autos & LPG, are vital to make sure the car's brake system is suitably maintained. Our expert team of technicians can be relied on to warn you if they detect that service or repair of the vehicle's braking system is a wise move before it turns into a more serious problem. Brake services we offer at Pride Autos & LPG include: Brake Pad Replacement Flush And Replacement Of Brake Fluid Rotor And Drum/Brake Disc Machining or Resurfacing Brake Disc And Drum Replacement Brake Caliper Replacement Replacement Of Brake Hoses And Lines Complete Replacement Of Brake Systems Brake Pad Replacement Brake pads are the most commonly replaced component in your braking system. They are designed to wear out over time as they make contact with the rotor as it is much cheaper and easier to replace the pads than to replace the rotors. We recommend having your brake pads inspected regularly and replaced when they are worn down to prevent any damage to the rotors and other critical vehicle components as well as keeping your braking system functioning effectively. Flush And Replacement Of Brake Fluid Your vehicle's brake fluid is crucial to maintaining optimal braking power. Over time, the fluid can become contaminated and break down, leading to brake failure. We recommend having your brake fluid replaced every two years, or when your brake fluid is discoloured or smells burnt. Rotor And Drum/Brake Disc Machining or Resurfacing The rotors and brake discs on your vehicle are also essential components of your braking system. Over time they can develop hot spots or become warped. Machining or resurfacing them can correct any imperfections, allowing your brake pads to function correctly and ensure your vehicle can stop quickly and safely. Brake Disc And Drum Replacement In some cases, the rotors or drums may become too thin and worn beyond repair. If this is the case, replacement of the rotors and drums may be necessary to restore your brakes to their original capacity. Brake Caliper Replacement Your vehicle's brake calipers apply pressure to the brake pads and force them onto the rotors to slow down or stop your vehicle. When your brake calipers become worn, they may no longer function effectively, leading to reduced braking power. Replacing the calipers will restore your vehicle's braking power and prevent further damage to your braking system. Replacement Of Brake Hoses And Lines Brake hoses and lines can deteriorate over time and become brittle. They may develop leaks, reducing the efficiency of your braking system. Replacement of the hoses and lines will restore proper function, preventing further damage to your braking system and ensuring maximum safety for your vehicle. Complete Replacement Of Brake Systems In extreme cases, your entire brake system may require replacement. This is a significant investment, but it is critical to maintaining your vehicle's safety and function. At Pride Autos & LPG we tend to find that ignoring the need to maintain the various brake components properly will eventually lead to damage to other critical components and may result in the need to completely replace the entire braking system, with the overall cost of the repair increasing accordingly. Don't take risks with brake systems Correct maintenance of your vehicle's braking system is critical to ensuring its safety. We offer a wide range of brake services, including pad replacement, rotor resurfacing, caliper replacement and more. Our technicians are experienced in all aspects of brake maintenance and will work with you to keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely. Contact us today to book your appointment. If you perceive any warning signals that a vehicle's braking system may be overdue for a servicing you can book online to have your car's braking system assessed via our Launceston service centre today.
