Replacing our brake pads before they wear below 4mm is vital for your own safety and others on the road. It can also end up being a lot more expensive if you don't and they wear down too thin, as it can cause damage to the other components that rub up against like the brake caliper and rotor. If these need to be rebuilt, it can cost thousands of dollars. It can also end up being very expensive if you don't and the pads wear down too thin, as it can cause damage to the other components that rub up against like the brake caliper and rotor. If these need to be rebuilt, it can cost thousands of dollars. Luckily, there are some clear tell tale signs to indicate that our brake pads need replacing. Before we dive into these signs, let's first get a quick understanding of how our brakes work and what causes the brake pads to wear down. When we apply our brakes, the brake calipers push down on the brake pads which push against the wall of the rotor (the rotor is the large shiny circle in the image below). This causes friction which allows our car to stop smoothly but overtime will also wear down our brake pads. Signs you might need new brake pads include; 1. The brakes become incredibly noisy If you begin to hear scraping or squealing noises when applying the brakes it is likely your brake pads need replacing. Squealing noises can be caused by other factors, such as the caliper being loose but the most common cause is worn brake pads. The same goes for scraping noises which can sometimes be the result of loose brake pads, but the most common reason is that the brake pads have worn down completely to the metal plate. This is when things start getting expensive as the rotors may also need to be repaired or replaced. 2. Your car doesn't stop efficiently If our car is taking longer than usual to pull up to a stop once we apply the brakes it is likely new brake pads are needed. This should be quite an easy sign to spot but also a dangerous one if we don't get it fixed immediately. 3. Your car is "pulling" If your car seems like it has a mind of its own by pulling to one side of the road, this could indicate worn brake pads or other repair issues like your wheel alignment being off. It is quite easy to spot what the particular repair issue might be. If your car pulls to one side of the road when the brakes are applied, without you turning the steering wheel , it is likely that your brake pads are wearing unevenly and need replacing. When your car is pulling to one side whilst you are accelerating or just driving without applying the brakes, it is often another repair issue. 4. Your brake pedal is vibrating If you press your brake pedal and it vibrates or pulsates it is another clear indicator that you need new brake pads. The vibration is caused by worn out brakes or brake pads that have been warped due to heat. In this instance, sometimes the brake pads can be re-machined to fix the problem, otherwise they will need to be replaced entirely. If you are experiencing any of the above signs it is important to take your car into a mechanic you can trust as soon as possible.

Replacing your brake pads before they wear below 6mm is vital for our own safety and others on the road. Temby Auto Service in Eltham are your local brake experts.

I've had issues with an older car for a few years and it has been through multiple mechanics before Temby's had it sorted after one day.  Daniel on Google - Great workmanship, great service, very easy to deal with - also do a great job at pre-purchase inspection, too. Thanks, guys!  Vahid on Google - Had 2 Toyota vehicles serviced recently. Photos & names of all the mechanics in the office was a great start. Phone call during the day gave me information, options and good advice. Service was finished in a single day, log books stamped and they waited for me to make to pick up before locking up. Will use their service again. Just bear in mind public transport is a reasonable walk & taxis are scarce.  Tay on Google - Incredible experience from a mechanic, I own an older model car and have often found mechanics who don't do the job or don't do it properly. At Temby' s Auto, the team really looked after me and kept me well informed on how the work was going, I was so well informed that I was able to make the decisions so I was completely comfortable with all that was being done and got a fantastic price for it all! Thank you so much to sean, the nice bloke who kept in contact with me while my car was in the shop. 10/10 would recommend to EVERYONE!  Evie on Google - Really looked after me, explained everything and gave me confidence in the job. I was a bit apprehensive especially after a couple of other mechanics, where the job wasn't quite done completely. However the whole team put my mind at rest and I've been driving my pride and joy around without a problem ever since. Didn't need to take out a bank loan to pay for the work done either. Very happy and great service, Thanks!!  Joe on Google - These guys know what they are doing. Trustworthy and thorough inspections when you are looking to buy a car. Probably a bit more expensive than other mechanics but well worth it. More than likely, the guys will find a few things that will enable you to negotiate the price down with the seller. In return for your bucks, you get a thorough and informative chat with the mechanic and a RACV accredited report showing details of all observations found in the inspection. Thanks Brad.  Anonymous on WOMO - Andrew and his team have remarkable customer service and make the whole experience enjoyable. Very greatful to have found such a lovely and trustworthy mechanic. Thanks Temby Auto!

Buying a second-hand car can be a daunting experience - but, if you know what to look for, you can avoid nasty surprises and even snag a deal. So, on the premise of unwanted surprises and scoring a deal, here's what to look out for when buying a used car privately. Make sure there is no money owing on the car It's better to be safe rather than sorry so making sure the current owner has paid off the car is a must. At worst, a failure to identify any money owing on the car can make you liable for the debts. To check if a car has any money owing on it, a relatively simple option is to conduct a REVS check online at revscheck.com.au. All that's needed for this is the Vehicle Identification Number, the registration number and the engine number. Check car documents No matter how trustworthy the seller seems, being thorough when checking documents and paperwork to coincide with the vehicle is a must. First, make sure the person selling the car is the legitimate owner. You can do this by cross referencing their proof of identity documents with the car's registration papers. Secondly, requesting paperwork that shows the vehicle's service history and how well it has been maintained is essential. Ask for receipts that show the oil has been changed, tyres replaced, radiator flushed, wiper blades replaced and brake pads inspected. Some of these precautions might sound over the top but being thorough when checking documents can pay off. Research, research, research As well as looking at the owner's paperwork of the car's history, doing online research about the particular make and model of the car and reading online reviews is useful. This helps you to gain a generic understanding of the car and anything you need to watch out for. In addition, compiling a list of relevant questions to ask the owner when inspecting the vehicle ensures you come prepared and shows you know your stuff.  Some questions you could ask include: Are they the original owners? How long have they owned the car? How often do they use the car? Has the car been in any accidents? Getting the owners to back up their answers with relevant documentation is of course desirable. Take it for a drive Beyond just taking the car for a test drive around the block, getting it out in different road conditions allows you to get a better idea of how well it drives. Taking the vehicle on the freeway, over speed bumps and around a car park, will help give insight into the car's suspension, brakes and how smoothly it drives. Don't forget to check that the heater and air conditioner, radio, locking system, brake lights and turn signals are all in working condition. Have the car inspected by a trusted mechanic The final step is getting the car inspected by a trusted Melbourne mechanic. The car's history report will provide vital information about the car's past, however, having it inspected is the best way to learn about the car's present condition. Negotiating for the inspection fee to be included in the vehicles sale is always a good idea. Score a deal With these tips in mind, a strict budget, being patient and shopping around you can increase your chances of purchasing a reliable and hassle free second hand car!
