CV Joints & Boots: Understanding How They Work and Why They Matter. 

CV joints and boots are essential components of your vehicle's drivetrain, responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels. 

 The CV joint, or constant velocity joint, is designed to allow for smooth and efficient power transfer even when the wheels are turning at different speeds, such as when turning or going over bumps. 

The boot, which surrounds the CV joint, provides crucial protection from dirt and debris that can damage the joint and cause it to fail.

Without properly functioning CV joints and boots, your vehicle may experience significant issues such as vibrations, difficulty turning, and ultimately a breakdown. 

At Brendale Automotive, we offer high-quality CV joint and boot replacements as well as expert installation services to keep your vehicle running smoothly and reliably. Trust us to provide the parts and services you need for optimal performance and longevity.

If there are issues such as a cracked or torn boot or not enough high pressure grease, then the CV joint can fail. Symptoms include poor handling around corners, vibrating or an audible clicking sound whilst cornering.

Contact us at the first sign of trouble because repairing a torn boot and refilling the grease is a relatively cheap and easy procedure but if you leave it you could end up with a failed joint which needs to be replaced. We are located in Brendale and serve many customers in the surrounding areas as well.

Exceptional Care: As a part of the Repco Authorised Service Network of mechanics we have all the latest diagnostic equipment to keep your car running at optimal performance

Peace of Mind: We offer the peace of mind which comes from our Repco Nationwide Warranty along with the friendly service which comes from dealing with a neighbourhood shop

Education: Not only are our mechanics attending ongoing seminars and checking service bulletins via the National Auto Tech training program, but they are always available to help our clients learn more about what is going on with their car

Clicking sound when turning which may be caused from a loss of the high pressure grease due to a cracked boot.

Growling when the vehicle is in motion due to a broken or loose CV joint.

Vibrations when accelerating due to a worn joint.

Brake fluid transfers the pressure you put on the brake pedal through to the actual brakes.
Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work. As everyone knows - not having brakes is a huge problem! In fact even slightly affected brakes are very dangerous.


Brake fluid absorbs moisture very easily. Brake fluids are also subject to very high temperatures and so they are designed to have a high boiling point to stop them from boiling and evaporating- when brake fluid has accumulated too much moisture- this lowers its boiling point and it can boil off more easily causing low levels. Low levels of brake fluid affect your braking performance and could mean your car will fail to stop.
Brake Fluid that has absorbed too much moisture will also shorten the life of your braking system including damaging the callipers, wheel cylinders and anti-lock braking systems.

Why is brake fluid replacement necessary?

Your manufacturer's log book will advise how regularly your brake fluid should be changed or flushed, we recommend a drain and replacement every two years however it is wise to have it regularly checked by an expert at every service to make sure the levels are not reducing too fast (a sign of a leak) or that the moisture levels have not reached a point that could be damaging your system.

How often should I replace my brake fluid?

At Brendale Automotive we offer a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report, upon request, with every full car service which includes a written review of your brake fluid, master cylinder, front and back discs and pads, callipers and cylinders and more. This inspection helps to identify any issues in your vehicle which should be addressed and our mechanics will certainly advise you if they feel your vehicle might need a brake fluid replacement, or an out of schedule brake system service or repairs.

Do you check the brake fluids during a car service?

Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work.

Brake fluid - what is it and why do I need it? 

When it comes to brakes, you should never wait until brake repairs are necessary.  

Proper testing and routine checkups, such as our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection which we provide with all full car services, are important to ensure your vehicle's brake system is in top condition. Our expert team of technicians will be happy to advise you when they suspect that service or repair of your brake system is indicated to stop it becoming a bigger issue.

Brake services we perform at Brendale Automotive include:

Brake Disc/Rotor and Drum Resurfacing or Machining

If you recognise any symptoms that your car's braking system could possibly need service or repairs simply book online with us and have the brakes of your vehicle assessed through our Brendale workshop today.

When it comes to brakes, you should'nt wait until brake repairs are necessary, get tested regularly.
