Your car's braking and suspension play a vital part in making sure that your car stops quickly and safely. Here at Prompt Auto Repairs in Coconut Grove 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.

If your car is no longer stopping as quickly or efficiently as it used to or you notice it seems to rock or roll when you are cornering, having a Prompt Auto Repairs technician inspect the suspension and brake systems on our Safe-T-Stop test Lanes can quickly and accurately pinpoint the problem.

You can trust a Safe-T-Stop test to give you all the answers a simple road test simply won't. It provides an accurate inspection and report that goes well beyond a basic check and road test to accurately check your braking capacity and ensure maximum stopping performance.

Safe-T-Stop test lanes measure and simulate a vehicle's brake performance in real-life conditions, exactly as the process would happen on the road and results in a precise and detailed printed report that will enable the qualified technicians at Prompt Auto Repairs to advise you on any critical adjustments that should be made.

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

Log Book Servicing with Prompt Auto Repairs

Differential bushings could be the issue if they are aged, worn or cracked.  They control movement in the joints, absorb road bumps and reduce vibrations and noise while driving or reversing. These are one of many automotive issue we can handle at Prompt Auto Repairs, your trusted local mechanic in Coconut Grove.

It is fair to say that the Ford Territory and Falcon are two of the most popular vehicles on Australian roads. Both of these models are prone to high rates of wear in some rear suspension components, such as the rear differential bushing. This is particularly apparent on vehicles that have travelled high kilometres, have high horsepower or vehicles towing loads regularly.

A tell-tale sign that this bushing is no longer performing as intended is hearing a clunking noise or feeling a jolt under acceleration or when shifting gears from drive to reverse. The primary function of the rear differential bushing is to provide a smooth and quiet transfer of power from the engine to the rear wheels of your vehicle under acceleration.

Should this issue go unresolved it may result in excessive wear on surrounding drive train and suspension components so it is wise and economical to act swiftly should you be experiencing any of these symptoms.

Your local Repco Authorised Service Centre Prompt Auto Repairs in Coconut Grove is experienced in diagnosing and fixing this problem. We can replace your worn rubber differential bushing with a highly durable Nolathane differential bushing specifically designed and manufactured to address this problem and return your vehicle back to its optimum performance.

So, if “clunking” goes with your Territory or Falcon, contact the team at Prompt Auto Repairs today.

It is fair to say that the Ford Territory and Falcon are two of the most popular vehicles on Australian roads. Both of these models are prone to high rates of wear in some rear suspension components, such as the rear differential bushing.

At Prompt Auto Repairs in  Coconut Grove we believe the transmission is an important part of your vehicle.

Without the transmission, your vehicle would not be able to move between gears. The transmission fluid allows you to do this smoothly and also protects the working parts inside your transmission. The transmission fluid doesn't diminish through use. Yet the level should still be checked periodically because if there is a leak, or the fluid level is low, it will harm the internal parts of your transmission.

Transmission fluid can become dirty over time with metal shavings and other particles which will shorten the life of your transmission. Replacing a transmission is a costly exercise and so checking the fluid and replacing it when necessary is a good investment in the long run.

At Prompt Auto Repairs we provide a full 65 Point Vehicle Condition Report upon request with every full car service - This includes a check of your transmission fluid and we will advise you if we think your fluid needs to be replaced or if a transmission service might be needed.
