Suspension and Steering Service – Why It’s Needed A well-maintained suspension and steering system is the backbone of vehicle stability, steering precision and overall safety on the road...  Over time, worn components can compromise handling—making every drive feel like an upper-body workout rather than a smooth commute. Routine servicing not only preserves ride comfort for you and your passengers but also prevents premature wear on tyres, brakes and other critical parts. What’s Involved in a Proper Suspension & Steering Service You should always see a reputable mechanic to have your suspension and steering checked to help ensure the safety and comfort of your ride. But what does a good suspension service involve? Comprehensive Component Inspection
Every service begins with a full inspection of shocks, struts, springs and steering linkages. Shock absorbers and struts should always be replaced in pairs—and ideally all four at once—to maintain balanced performance. Diagnostic Testing & Adjustments
Specialist workshops employ diagnostic equipment to detect hidden faults before they become safety issues. Technicians measure ride height, inspect bushings and check for fluid leaks around power steering components. Wheel Alignment & Balancing
Precise alignment ensures wheels track correctly, reducing steering effort and preventing uneven tyre wear. Unbalanced wheels can accelerate wear on shocks and steering parts, leading to vibration at speed and compromised handling. Power Steering System Maintenance
Checking and topping up power steering fluid is crucial. Low fluid levels often lead to worn pumps and makes turning the wheel feel dramatically harder—any change must be addressed immediately. Five Common Warning Signs to Watch For Mushy or Sluggish Steering: Indicates worn steering rack components or low power fluid. Pulling to One Side: Misalignment can cause constant correction and tyre wear. Excessive Vibration: Unbalanced wheels or worn shocks create noticeable shake at highway speeds. Uneven Tyre Wear: Bald patches signal suspension parts aren’t keeping tyres on the road properly. Clunking Noises Over Bumps: Failing bushings or worn joints demand prompt attention to avoid further damage. Why Choose Browns Garage in Nedlands Expert Technicians:

Get Your Car Easter-Ready with Top Servicing in Nedlands As Easter approaches, it's the perfect time to ensure your vehicle is ready for long holiday trips or simply cruising around Nedlands... That's pretty much what we all think when it comes to the long weekend in April and before you know it you find Easter approaching fast and places for car service bookings dwindling or already snapped up by those a little quicker off the mark. So get ahead of the game and secure your booking for car service well before the rush starts and enjoy a safe and comfortable drive this Easter, whatever you choose to do. The benefits of Regular Car Service Regular car servicing is vital in maintaining your car's safety and performance, providing peace of mind whether you're hitting the road for an adventure or driving around town. At Browns Garage, we understand the importance of a well-maintained vehicle and are here to make sure yours is in perfect condition. One of the key aspects of regular servicing is tyre inspection. Checking that your tyres are up to the task is crucial for safety, especially with the varying road conditions you might encounter on your Easter travels. Proper tyre maintenance can improve fuel efficiency, enhance handling, and ensure a smooth ride. Equally important are your brakes. Ensuring your brakes are functioning optimally is vital for your safety and those around you. Regular brake checks can prevent potential issues, giving you the confidence to drive safely during the busy Easter period. Don't overlook the battery, either. A reliable battery is essential for starting your car and powering all its electrical components. Regular checks can identify any potential issues before they become major problems, ensuring you won't be left stranded unexpectedly. Lights are another critical safety feature. Ensuring all lights are working properly is essential for visibility, not only for you but for other drivers as well. From headlights to indicators, make sure everything is shining bright. The Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling (HVAC) system is often overlooked but plays a vital role in your driving comfort and safety. Ensuring your HVAC system is working efficiently helps with defrosting windows and maintaining a comfortable cabin environment, which is particularly important on long drives to help reduce driver fatigue. Finally, checking fluid levels is a fundamental part of any service. Ensuring the oil, coolant, brake, and other fluid levels are correct helps keep your vehicle running smoothly and can prevent costly repairs down the line. While Easter might seem a little way off, it’s a wise decision to book your vehicle in early to avoid the rush, particularly if you’re planning a getaway over the Easter weekend. Having a well serviced vehicle gives you peace of mind wherever you choose to travel. At Browns Garage in Nedlands, we offer top-notch car servicing that guarantees your vehicle's safety and performance, ensuring you're ready for whatever the road ahead holds.

Prepare for safe and smooth Easter driving with regular car servicing at Browns Garage in Nedlands. Ensure your vehicle is in top condition for holiday trips or daily drives.

Easter Driving Made Easy

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.

Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. Browns Garage in Nedlands are very knowledgeable and experienced in looking after these systems.  It is recommended that you exchange your radiator coolant fluid every two years or 40,000 km's whichever comes first. However the size of the engine, the climate in your area, the age of your current coolant, and the total miles that have been driven can all affect the need to replace the coolant in your radiator. Knowing when to replenish your radiator fluid isn't always easy - obviously, when it has gone a dirty brown colour it's a sign it probably needs to be flushed and replaced - however even fresh-looking coolant could have lost its corrosion protection properties and without measuring its reserve alkalinity there's no signal that it is no longer protecting your vehicle components, and it could even be doing more damage than good. Maintaining good coolant means your radiator system will be much better protected from corrosion and will have a longer life span, it will help prevent you from having to replace expensive engine components. At Browns Garage in Nedlands at your request, we will perform a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report for free as part of any minor, major or log book service. Part of this inspection includes checking the level and condition of coolant in your system and the written report will advise you if we feel a radiator flush, fluid replacement or any repairs are required to maintain the performance of your vehicle.

Even if it looks clean, your coolant still might need replacing!
