At UMR Engines Brake Repairs Slacks Creek Brisbane we check the condition of
all flexible rubber brake hoses. The brake hose is the most common part to cause
instant pedal loss and brake failure. Perished brake hoses are one of the most
common faults found when doing a RWC inspection on a vehicle. This failure rate
on RWC safety inspections indicates that this part is often overlooked when
maintaining brakes and servicing vehicles. Twisted and perished brake hoses are
easily overlooked but are the backbone of the braking system.
We at UMR Engines Car Repairs Slacks Creek always inspect brake hoses and
recommend replacement before leakage and possible brake failure occurs.
At UMR Engines Brake Repairs Slacks Creek Brisbane we select pads for your
vehicle that are suitable for your driving conditions and budget. We always
recommend the best available pads be fitted as this will ensure accurate
stopping under adverse conditions. Brake pads are manufactured to meet
minimum set parameters and quality. Brake pads are available in various
quality ranges. Some pads wear faster, stop faster, are quieter or are dustier. A
good quality pad should stop with minimum noise, be soft enough to prevent
premature disc wear and demonstrate excellent stopping power under all
conditions.
At UMR Engines Brake Repairs Slacks Creek Brisbane we inspect the hydraulic
components for leaks and perished dust boots. Wheel cylinders and callipers can
seize up due to broken dust boots and water contaminated brake fluid. These items
can be serviced but due to the relative low cost of new components replacement is
usually recommended. If cost or availability of new components is inhibitive we can
service these components to a high quality standard.
At UMR Engines Brake Repairs Slacks Creek Brisbane we check the condition of
your brake fluid for water contamination with an electronic tester. The tester
determines whether the % of moisture in your brake fluid is at an acceptable level.(
This moisture contamination occurs naturally from the atmosphere as brake fluid is
a hygroscopic material) If the moisture level is outside safe limits irreversible
corrosion damage is occurring inside your brake master and wheel cylinders. This
corrosion can lead to brake fluid leaks and eventually brake failure. Periodically
flushing and changing the brake fluid from your complete brake system will help
prevent expensive component damage. (Wheel cylinders, disc callipers and
master-cylinders)
At UMR Engines we can test your brakes with our brake meter to determine
if your vehicle has acceptable stopping power. Our qualified mechanics will
repair and maintain your brake system to give you the best possible stopping
power for your model car.
At UMR Engines Brake Repairs Slacks Creek - Brisbane we measure rotor
thickness against allowable manufacturers wear limits to ensure your brakes
are in top condition. When maintaining brakes it is not just as simple as
replacing the disc pads, all aspects of the complete system have to work in
harmony to produce the safest braking under all possible conditions.
