Failure to replace your brake fluid on a regular basis will cause it to deteriorate, compromising its effectiveness.  Did you know that pockets of air can be formed due to the deterioration, resulting in slowed braking capabilities? Ultimately, this could be the difference between avoiding a hazardous collision or risking lives and property in an avoidable accident. Clean brake fluid not only protects your safety it also prolongs the life of your braking system components by preventing corrosion. Contaminated fluid can hinder the brake components' smooth operation, leading to brake grabbing, uneven braking, or complete brake failure. When it comes to brake safety - we don't stop - so you will when you really need to. Drouin Automotive Services are qualified to perform a wide range of brake services and repairs using quality parts, all covered by our Nationwide Warranty. At Drouin Automotive Services we offer a 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.

At Drouin Automotive Services, we understand how important it is to have clean brake fluid and maintaining the brake system. Fluid Flush helps reduce the risk of corrosion, eradicate any air bubbles, and reinforce efficient braking force.

Regular Fluid Flush means Safe Brakes

Don't leave your brakes till they breakdown, they are too important for your safety. Brake Service, Repair and Testing in Drouin Regular inspection of your brake system is essential for ensuring it remains in optimal working condition. At Drouin Automotive Services, we perform a vehicle checkup with each full car service, alerting you to any indicators that your brakes require servicing or repair before it's too late and costly. The braking system in a car is made up of various components, each working in tandem to bring your car to a stop. The main components include: 1. Brake pedal - the brake pedal is located inside the car, and when pressed, it sends a signal to the brake booster, which applies force to the brakes. 2. Brake booster - this component uses vacuum pressure to amplify the force applied by the driver to the brake pedal, helping to bring the car to a stop more quickly. 3. Master cylinder - the master cylinder is responsible for converting the force applied by the brake booster into hydraulic pressure that is used to actuate the brakes. 4. Brake lines - the brake lines carry the hydraulic pressure generated by the master cylinder to the brakes themselves. 5. Brake calipers - the brake calipers are responsible for clamping down on the rotors, generating friction and ultimately slowing the car down. 6. Brake pads - brake pads are positioned between the calipers and the rotors, providing a surface for the calipers to clamp down on. Over time, brake pads can wear down and will need to be replaced. 7. Rotors - rotors are discs attached to the wheels of the car that the brake pads clamp down on, generating friction and bringing the car to a stop. All of these components work together to provide reliable stopping power, keeping you and your passengers safe while on the road. We offer the following Brake Services: Replace Brake Pads Brake Fluid Flushing And Replacement Rotor And Drum/Brake Disc Machining or Resurfacing Replace Drum And Brake Discs Replace Brake Callipers Replace Brake Hoses And Lines Replace Complete Brake Systems Our Drouin Car Service Centre can assess your vehicle's braking system with ease if you believe it is in need of a service or repair.

How does the Power Steering System Work? Power steering is an essential component of modern vehicles, designed to make steering significantly easier and more responsive. This system employs hydraulic or electric actuators to augment the effort applied to the steering wheel, making it possible to manoeuvre heavy vehicles with minimal physical exertion. For drivers in Drouin, the team at Drouin Automotive Services offers comprehensive power steering services, ensuring your vehicle remains safe and easy to drive. Our skilled technicians are well-versed in diagnosing and repairing a variety of power steering systems, guaranteeing optimal performance and reliability. What Happens When My Power Steering Fails? When power steering fails, the consequences can be both immediate and dangerous. Typically, you will notice increased difficulty in turning the steering wheel, which can be especially hazardous at low speeds or during emergency manoeuvres. Other signs include a whining noise while steering, fluid leaks under the vehicle, or a steering wheel that feels stiff or jerky. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to more severe damage to your vehicle's steering mechanism and compromise your safety on the road. At Drouin Automotive Services in Drouin, we specialise in identifying the root causes of power steering issues and implementing effective repairs to restore your vehicle’s functionality. 2 FAQ's Two frequently asked questions we often receive about power steering are: 1. How often should power steering fluid be changed? and 2. Can I drive without power steering? The answer to the first question depends on your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations, but generally, power steering fluid should be checked regularly and replaced every 50,000 to 100,000 kilometres. As for driving without power steering, while it is possible, it is highly inadvisable due to the increased physical effort required to turn the wheel, which can be unsafe in emergency situations. Our experts at Drouin Automotive Services can guide you on the best maintenance practices to ensure your power steering system remains in top condition.

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.
