As the main role of tyres is to keep your car in contact with the road, they play a vital role in the safety and stopping power of your car.

Regular car servicing will keep your car in good condition and having the tyres checked at the same time can help you be aware of the condition of your tyres while alerting you of any potential problems. Your Pauls Service Centre mechanic can also let you know if your car would benefit from a wheel alignment or wheel balancing. They are relatively low cost solutions and can greatly improve your driving experience as well as overall vehicle safety.

Why get tyre and wheel services from Pauls Service Centre?

Pauls Service Centre are independently owned and operated and known locally for our honest service, years of experience and knowledge. We have a range of tyres and specialist equipment to perform your new tyre fitting or wheel alignment and balance. All our work is backed by our Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty.

While checking your tyres is something you can do yourself, as professionals Pauls Service Centre can check out the internal condition of your tyres as well as the entire outside surface and they are well aware of the correct methods of disassembly, repair and reassembly, along with any manufacturer or legal requirements involved.

Pauls Service Centre can also advise you if there are any problems with your tyres, your wheel alignment, tyre balance or other areas of your car affecting your tyres such as brakes or suspension which you should be aware of to protect you and your vehicle, including the tyres themselves.

Tyres eventually wear out over time, an unavoidable process which is quickened by hard braking and regular high speed driving as well as uneven road surfaces. Unless there are problems causing uneven tyre wear or bald spots or there is other significant damage, the depth of the tread on the tyre is usually the best indicator your tyres are due for replacement. Although the legal minimum tread depth varies, a good rule of thumb is when tread depth is approaching 1.6mm you should think about buying new tyres.

Tread on a tyre is very important as this is where you get the traction to both move the car forwards and also the friction required to stop safely and efficiently. Tread is also the method by which water is dissipated away from the tyre surface in a way which prevents aquaplaning and maintaining maximum grip and control. The less tread depth you have, the less control you will have in wet driving conditions.

Tyres generally last between six to ten years and the better you look after them the more chance there is that it will be the latter rather than the former.

Tyre pressure is not just important to ensure you get the best fuel economy from your vehicle. Incorrect tyre pressure is a common cause of tyre damage as pressure and wear is directed at areas of the tyre not designed to take it. Perhaps most importantly the pressure of your tyres can have a direct impact on the driveability, and therefore the safety, of the vehicle.

You should check your tyres yourself on a regular basis to ensure they are in good condition. Be on the lookout for bald or flat spots, tears and cuts in the surface of the tyre and any foreign objects likely to cause problems such as stones, nails and other road debris. You should also have a tyre professional give them a check on a regular basis as they have the knowledge and equipment to properly check the entire tyre and may spot issues you simply don't see.

Tyres will suffer from wear and tear at varying rates. The front and rear tyres for example will wear at different rates as front tyres generally carry more weight than rear ones, meaning faster heat build-up and therefore increased wear. The tyres on either side of your car will also tend to wear at different rates to those on the opposite side.

Having your tyres rotated regularly, every 8000 to 10,000 km for example, can help to ensure that all of your tyres wear at a similar rate and in the same places. Pauls Service Centre will be happy to undertake this task for you and inspect each tyre as they do it, letting you know of any issues that might present a problem or you should otherwise be aware of. We can undertake all types of tyre rotation for you including Cross rotation, straight rotation, 5 wheel rotation and four wheel drive rotation.

Will a regular wheel alignment or balance help look after tyres?

Regular wheel alignment helps to protect against premature or uneven tyre wear, increases the safety and handling of your vehicle and improves ride performance and fuel efficiency. Wheel balancing helps to minimise vibration through the wheels, thereby minimising premature or uneven tyre wear. Either wheel service (or both) will go a long way in helping to maximise the life of your tyres along with safety and handling benefits.

No matter how well you care for your tyres there will come a time when the only option for maintaining safety, comfort and fuel economy of your car is to have the tyres replaced, such as when they have reached the minimum tread depth.

Tips for maintaining your tyres from Pauls Service Centre

Should you notice any symptom indicating a potential problem with a car's braking system, please call us straight away to make an appointment with our Woolner car service workshop to have the brakes checked before it gets any worse.

Your brakes are one of the most significant safety features of your vehicle, and if they are not in optimal condition, it could lead to dangerous consequences. 

The brake system of any vehicle is a critical component that is essential for safety on the road. Brake failure can occur unexpectedly and could result in severe accidents and injuries. Below are three possible signs of brake failure in a car:

1. Squealing or Grinding Noise: If you hear squealing or grinding noises coming from the wheels of your car when you apply the brakes, it's likely that the brake pads are worn down. When this happens, metal parts could start grinding against each other, leading to significant brake failure.

2. Vibration in the Pedal: Another sign of potential brake failure is when the brake pedal vibrates or pulsates when you step on it. This could be a sign that the brake rotors are warped, which could lead to decreased stopping power or loss of control.

3. Slow Response Time: A delay in braking could be another indication of a brake system problem. When you apply the brakes, there should be an immediate response. If you feel a delay or hesitation in the brakes, it could indicate an issue with the hydraulic brake system.

If any of these appear, it is crucial to get your brakes serviced and inspected quickly. Regular brake checks can protect you from any major issues, keeping you safe while on the road.

At Pauls Service Centre, we provide brake services including brake pad replacements, brake rotor resurfacing and replacements, brake fluid flushes and replacements, brake caliper service and more. Our skilled technicians utilise top quality parts and tools to guarantee your brakes are working at their finest.

Moreover, we provide a Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty that covers our services for up to twelve months or 20,000 kilometres, whichever happens first. This warranty provides you peace of mind knowing that if any difficulties arise from our services, you will be covered no matter where you are in Australia.

It is essential to have regular brake service and inspections for the safety of you and your passengers. If you are noticing any signs of bad brakes, visit our Woolner workshop today for professional brake service and repairs.

The braking system in a car is made up of various components that work together to ensure safe and effective stopping power. Over time, wear and tear can cause these components to fail or require repairs. Let Pauls Service Centre fix your brakes today.
