Wheel Bearings are the means by which axles and wheels are supported and able to turn freely, with minimum friction and whilst simultaneously carrying the entire weight of the vehicle.

Wheel bearings play a crucial role in supporting and enabling the axles and wheels to rotate effortlessly, without any impediments and simultaneously carrying the entire weight of the vehicle. In essence, they act as a significant bridge between the wheels and the vehicle, enabling seamless rotation, optimal performance, and improved fuel efficiency.

It is imperative that your vehicle's wheels do not produce any sort of rumbling, groaning, or grinding sounds, nor should the steering wheel vibrate unless you are driving over corrugated roads. 

The wheels of your vehicle are responsible for ensuring a smooth ride, and any disturbances in their functioning can be indicative of larger issues at play..

Wheel bearings often encounter issues because of inadequately sealed bearings or lack of lubrication. This results in worn bearings, which can pose a severe threat to safety, leading to wheel lock-ups or seizing, particularly while the car is in motion.

Not only do these problems cause inconvenience to the driver, but they can also result in disastrous accidents, resulting in injuries or even fatalities. Thus, it is critical to understand the factors that contribute to the malfunction of wheel bearings. They can also cause uneven wear on the tyres, loud noises and vibration in the car.

It is crucial to give the wheel bearings in your car the attention they deserve as they have the potential to cause detrimental effects. These often disregarded components can bring about an array of issues including irregular tyre wear, jarring sounds and uncomfortable vibrations whilst driving. The bearings play a vital role in ensuring the wheels are able to spin freely on the axle.  Unfortunately, they are situated out of sight which means they are commonly overlooked during vehicle upkeep.

Because wheel bearings are hidden from view they are often a forgotten component in the vehicle, so proper maintenance and regular inspection is important. Eagle Farm Auto Care in Eagle Farm offer:

The wheels on your vehicle need to operate in a smooth manner, regardless of surfaces and speeds. When there is damage to the wheel bearings, the drive is no longer smooth as friction will build up. This friction can then break down the wheel bearings and cause wear and tear on the axle.

Eagle Farm Auto Care can give you peace of mind by advising you what is causing the loud noise or vibration in your vehicle. It may be time to come in and see our mechanics if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

Damaged or leaking seal on the wheel bearings

Would you drink dirty fluids? Then don't let your car either!

Without regularly changing your brake fluid, it will begin to deteriorate, leading to reduced effectiveness and increased braking time. This deterioration can create bubbles and pockets of air, increasing the time needed to come to a complete stop. 

To guarantee swift response times and minimise the possibility of accidents, it is essential to maintain your brakes through a punctual Brake Fluid Flush as advised by Eagle Farm Auto Care. This procedure protects your braking system from the hazardous effects of water contamination and corrosion.

Clean brake fluid not only protects your safety it also prolongs the life of your braking system components by preventing corrosion.

Eagle Farm Auto Care are qualified to perform a wide range of brake services and repairs using quality parts, all covered by our Nationwide Warranty.

When it comes to brake safety - we don't stop - so you will when you really need to.

This review provides crucial information that will help keep you safe, or allow you to plan and budget for any potential repairs your vehicle may need.

At Eagle Farm Auto Care, we can protect your car! Clean brake fluid plays a crucial role in safeguarding your safety on the road. Want to extend the longevity of your braking system's components by warding off corrosion, eliminating air pockets, and restoring the efficiency of your brakes? Call now...

The simple truth is that it is your right to choose where your vehicle is serviced, maintained and repaired, at competitive prices.

Looking forward to the potential bargains available in the end of year car sales or want to prepare for the holidays by getting your new car serviced? Here is some sound advice from Eagle Farm Auto Care in Eagle Farm.

Purchasing a new car is one of the most comprehensive investments a lot of people make, so you want to do what you can to look after it. Caring for your new car goes beyond detailing the interior and keeping it sparkling with a loving weekly wash, however.

There are a few other things to consider, such as who is the best choice to service your car.

You will want to ensure it is regularly serviced by a qualified professional, to the manufacturers requirements, using high quality parts from a reputable supplier and fluids which meet the manufacturers specifications. This is not just to look after your new car, but because if these four requirements are met you will also preserve the manufacturers warranty.

The simple truth is that it is your right to choose which workshop should service your new car without voiding either the manufacturers warranty or your rights under the Consumer Guarantee

Car dealers cannot force you to take the vehicle back to the dealer where you originally acquired it for service or repairs. Provided the work is overseen to the manufacturers specifications by a suitably skilled person and uses proper quality parts and fluids, the warranty stands. You have the right to choose who services your car.

With Repco Authorised Service you can tick all the boxes. Every Eagle Farm Auto Care mechanic is fully qualified and Auto-Tech trained, giving them access to Australia's leading provider of automotive technical information and training. This means Eagle Farm Auto Care mechanics are kept fully up to date with the latest in automotive service techniques and are able to service your new car without voiding the warranty.

Repco branded parts & products are manufactured to stringent Repco quality standards, and are covered by the Repco Nationwide Warranty, giving you added protection. Eagle Farm Auto Care will also only ever use fluids and lubricants that meet the specifications of the vehicle manufacturer.

If you already own a new car or are thinking of purchasing one, make sure you clearly understand where your statutory rights begin and end

Make sure you are aware of the diversity between statutory, manufacturer and express warranties to avoid making the wrong choices when it comes to servicing your new car. You are automatically covered by a statutory warranty, also known as a Consumer Guarantee, under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and this statutory protection can never be superseded by manufacturer or express warranties (which are offered by the car maker and car dealer respectively).

A lack of disclosure requirements on car dealers at the point of sale regarding these contracts can easily lead the consumer into making a choice to be bound by a long term contract without access to all of the details needed to make a properly informed decision.

So when buying a new car, be on guard for new car dealers who may try to pad the deal with “express” or “extended” warranties, often for free. Generally these ‘add-on' warranties may include quite limiting restrictions or provisions, and can be written in confusing or unclear language. Many times these promises provide no significant additional benefits not already covered by the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with the dealership that sold the vehicle.

Such promises are very unlikely to alert you to the potential negative aspects involved with taking a new car back to the dealer for service or repair. This includes a potential increase in distance traveled to get your car serviced or longer waiting times due to fewer available service locations or mechanics.

While half of australia is enjoying their dry season up north, the southern half of the country is bracing for a wet winter.

Some might think this means completely different ways to be prepared for winter driving; however the basics of safe winter motoring don't change. So what do you do to make sure your car is set for safe winter motoring? 

Avoid the painful moment when you switch on the wipers during that first rainstorm and realise they're worn out and basically useless! Constant exposure to the Australian conditions means your wipers will wear out. A good quality wiper blade like Trico is essential to help you see your way clear regardless of the weather. Eagle Farm Auto Care can recommend a wiper blade or assembly that is right for your car.

Fluids and other parts in your car can be impacted by cold weather; especially coolants, oils and items such as glow plugs in diesel vehicles. It's essential to get your vehicle regularly serviced by a professional who understands the best products and parts for your vehicle's needs. We use high quality NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils and fluids that are designed for Australian conditions.  

Drive to the conditions - road services can change in the rain

Conditions change - and you need to adjust, as well. Slow down in wet weather or poor visibility and leave a larger than normal stopping distance between yourself and the vehicle in front. Drive on the safe side and book in today for a service or a 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report.

Be aware of the symptoms that your brakes need to be looked at, for example vibrating, spongy or slow responding brake pedal, strange sounds or difficult handling when applying pressure to your brakes. If you notice any of these you should get it checked out by a qualified mechanic. Brake inspections form part of our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report, so if you have concerns call us today and book in.

Now is the time to inspect your tyres. If you spot uneven tyre wear, this could indicate that your shock absorbers or some other vital part of your steering and suspension systems are due for service or replacement. Find out more about the components that affect your tyre wear on the links below: 

Driving on incorrectly inflated tyres won't just cost you money on additional fuel; it can also impact your stopping distance. Use the right tyres for the right terrain. You can usually find manufacturers recommendations on a panel inside the driver side door.

Regular servicing is the best way to prevent problems, but if you notice anything amiss, contact us ASAP to get it checked out. We are located in Eagle Farm and serve many customers in the surrounding areas as well.

Power Steering Servicing and Repairs in Eagle Farm

Are you experiencing Power Steering problems?

Premium petrol is always best right? Not necessarily...

Think you're burning too much fuel? Did you know by choosing the right fuel for your car you can save money and possibly extend the life of your car?

Petrol is rated using the Research Octane Number or RON such as 91, 95, 98, 100 or even 103. The RON number grades the fuels resistance to ‘pre-ignition' or firing before it should due to heat from the engine.

Is a higher grade fuel better for my car?
A lower number doesn't mean lower quality - the grade signifies how much heat and pressure the gasoline can resist before it detonates. Higher grades can withstand higher heat and pressure than lower grades.

Why does it matter what grade of fuel i use?
Car engines work by igniting a mix of petrol and air with a spark plug to generate power. If the spark plug hasn't fired and the detonation happens early due to heat and pressure it creates a condition called “knock,” which can damage a motor and reduce power.

It's called 'knock' as that is the sound made when the fuel mix detonates too early rather than burning smoothly for fuel - which means you aren't getting the very best from your car..

How do i know what grade of petrol to use in my car?
To discover which fuel is right, read your car's manual or check the label on the inside of the fuel filler door. Generally high performance vehicles need a higher octane fuel. Putting premium petrol in a car that doesn't actually need it does not make your car faster or perform better, it will just drain your bank account that much faster!

Remember, putting premium petrol in a car that doesn't actually need it does not make your car faster or perform better, it will just drain your bank account that much faster!

If your car is making any kind of knocking noise you should contact Eagle Farm Auto Care in Eagle Farm today.
