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

High Pressure Grease re­filling (this goes in the boot)

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.

Ever wondered what a Clutch looks like?

When working correctly, the power steering system is quite remarkable, allowing pretty much anyone to handle an enormous steel machine as it zooms along at high speeds or navigates around tight corners.

As such, when you have a power steering problem you'll probably notice the difference.

Symptoms include sluggish steering response, leaking hydraulic fluid under the vehicle and difficulty turning the steering wheel. 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 Brendale and serve many customers in the surrounding areas as well.

Brendale Automotive Car Service & Repairs

Brendale Automotive is a Repco authorised mechanic with extensive experience servicing fuel injection systems and we're ready to take your booking at our Brendale workshop today. Book online or call for a quote.

Despite the complex nature of the Electronic Fuel Injection system they are easy to troubleshoot (when you know what you are doing). When a car is taken for the Electronic Fuel Injection service and the system's components are found to be broken they cannot be adjusted. This means that a mechanic cannot replace any worn out or defective parts. Often the problem is with a blockage or there could be a mechanical fail involved.

When a fuel injector does not allow any fuel to flow from the pressurised fuel line into the intake port it has to be replaced. An engine has to warm up for a few minutes when it is turned on. In case it takes longer than usual to do this then the fuel injector is either clogged or cannot open. Modern gasoline engines are built with a multiple cylinder design. The design is meant to smooth out the pulses of individual cylinders for a steady rotational speed. Once the fuel injector stops working the engine experiences hiccups with every cycle it completes, this results in vibrations and stutters. Delayed or stumbled acceleration is also another indication that something is amiss.

There are times when the fuel injector is either stuck open of is partially closed. In such scenarios a person can smell the odour of unburned fuel from the engine compartment; it seeps through the vents and tail pipe. With time the fuel consumption increases because the fuel injector is worn out and is injecting excess fuel.

If a car has more than 6 cylinders it may have malfunctions that go unnoticed. Be wary if the engine's computer asks you to check the engine light. The engine has sensors that evaluate the health of the EFI system. Modern vehicles are designed to detect a change in performance before the driver does. Every time the check engine light blinks take your vehicle to a mechanic. The professionals have electronic code reading tools that can diagnose the problem. Once the results of the tests are out the mechanic will know whether to clean the fuel injection system or replace it.

If you need your EFI system inspected or serviced, see the professionals at Brendale Automotive in Brendale

Your electronic fuel injection (EFI) system is designed to rapidly deliver fuel to the engine in a highly efficient manner, helping your vehicle to run smoothly, at peak performance and using the minimum amount of fuel. Brendale Automotive are EFI experts.

Car Cooling system service & repair in Brendale

Don't be "that car" stuck on the side of the road with steam pouring from under the hood, especially during the HOT Aussie summers.

Overheating car's arent just caused by hot weather, your engine gets hot, really hot, and it's the radiator and cooling system that does all the work to keep your car, and you, from being damaged by all that heat. A fluid called coolant in the system also prevents liquids from freezing and protects the system from corrosion as well.

Signs you need a radiator flush or cooling system service:

If your dashboard shows your car is running hotter than normal, your vehicle is overheating or you are leaving puddles of coolant where ever you park it is best to have your cooling system checked over by a professional.

If your vehicle is showing these symptoms come and see the team at Brendale Automotive

We will give your radiator and cooling system a well deserved service. Our qualified mechanics will perform a proper radiator flush, using a solution which is designed to remove any build up. When the cooling system has been cleaned out, the solution is emptied, fresh new coolant is added and your car's cooling system will be running like a dream: a radiator flush might be just what your car needs to bring it back to peak performance.

What are the benefits of a radiator flush.

Your radiator will be more efficient, reliable and live longer. Your engine will be more efficient and have an increased life expectancy. Boost the performance and power of your engine Your water pump is further protected as it is better lubricated.

What happens if I don't get a radiator flush or service?

This build up of rust and debris can damage the important parts of your cooling system including your water pump, radiator, hoses and thermostat, affecting the lifespan of those parts and leading to expensive repairs or replacements in the future.

Car Radiator Service & Repair in Brendale

Your car's safety and roadworthiness is dependent on your vehicle's 'stopping, steering and stability' capabilities.

The suspension and shock absorbers are not just there to give you a smooth ride, they are integral for the correct operation of these three critical capabilities, therefore keeping you, your passengers and other road users safe. Regular servicing and maintenance can help to prevent problems, but if you notice anything amiss, contact us ASAP to get it checked out.

We are located in Brendale and serve customers in the surrounding areas as well.

An important part of keeping all aspects of your vehicle working properly is to stick to your regular Log Book servicing schedule. However, if you notice any of the following symptoms you should get your vehicle checked out as soon as possible;

Nose diving and swerving - bonnet dips when braking or slowing down

Car rocks and rolls over bumps and doesn't hug bends when cornering

Our suspension and shock absorber services include inspection, diagnosis, repairs and replacements so we'll have your car fixed and back on the road time. Don't delay, book today.

Some of your suspension & shock absorber's important parts include

Springs - Springs are designed to absorb energy and there are several different types including leaf, coil, torsion bar or air assisted springs. The springs on different types of cars will be set up to different levels. Luxury cars, for example, may have soft springs to produce a smoother ride but this results in more body movement when the car brakes and corners. Sports cars, on the other hand, tend to have tighter springs which allow for more aggressive driving, including around corners, but also mean a less smooth ride.

Shock absorbers - these dissipate the energy absorbed by the springs. The car would not work properly without the shock absorbers because the springs would cause it to bounce up and down when you go over a bump rather than absorb that bump.

Strut - this is a shock absorber mounted inside a coil spring. Struts do the job of the springs and shock absorbers plus provide additional structural support for the suspension system.

Anti-sway bar - spans the width of the axle and joins the two sides of the suspension together to provide stability to the car while it is moving.

Top Quality: As a part of the Repco Authorised Service Centre network all of the work we perform is backed by the Repco Nationwide Warranty.

The Right Parts: Our mechanics are kept up on all the latest parts thanks to Repco service bulletins. Additionally, we have access to the Repco spare parts network which means we can find you the right part at the right price.

The Best Team: Our mechanics are well versed in many different makes and models. From a fleet of vehicles to the family car, we are here for you.

Safety & Roadworthiness is dependant on 3 things

How's your vehicle's 'stopping, steering and stability' capabilities?

Differential bushings could be the issue if they are aged, worn or cracked.  They control movement in the joints, absorb road bumps and reduce vibrations and noise while driving or reversing. These are one of many automotive issue we can handle at Brendale Automotive, your trusted local mechanic in Brendale.

It is fair to say that the Ford Territory and Falcon are two of the most popular vehicles on Australian roads. Both of these models are prone to high rates of wear in some rear suspension components, such as the rear differential bushing. This is particularly apparent on vehicles that have travelled high kilometres, have high horsepower or vehicles towing loads regularly.

A tell-tale sign that this bushing is no longer performing as intended is hearing a clunking noise or feeling a jolt under acceleration or when shifting gears from drive to reverse. The primary function of the rear differential bushing is to provide a smooth and quiet transfer of power from the engine to the rear wheels of your vehicle under acceleration.

Should this issue go unresolved it may result in excessive wear on surrounding drive train and suspension components so it is wise and economical to act swiftly should you be experiencing any of these symptoms.

Your local Repco Authorised Service Centre Brendale Automotive in Brendale is experienced in diagnosing and fixing this problem. We can replace your worn rubber differential bushing with a highly durable Nolathane differential bushing specifically designed and manufactured to address this problem and return your vehicle back to its optimum performance.

So, if “clunking” goes with your Territory or Falcon, contact the team at Brendale Automotive today.

It is fair to say that the Ford Territory and Falcon are two of the most popular vehicles on Australian roads. Both of these models are prone to high rates of wear in some rear suspension components, such as the rear differential bushing.

At Brendale Automotive in  Brendale we believe the transmission is an important part of your vehicle.

Without the transmission, your vehicle would not be able to move between gears. The transmission fluid allows you to do this smoothly and also protects the working parts inside your transmission. The transmission fluid doesn't diminish through use. Yet the level should still be checked periodically because if there is a leak, or the fluid level is low, it will harm the internal parts of your transmission.

Transmission fluid can become dirty over time with metal shavings and other particles which will shorten the life of your transmission. Replacing a transmission is a costly exercise and so checking the fluid and replacing it when necessary is a good investment in the long run.

At Brendale Automotive we provide a full 65 Point Vehicle Condition Report upon request with every full car service - This includes a check of your transmission fluid and we will advise you if we think your fluid needs to be replaced or if a transmission service might be needed.

Call Brendale Automotive for all your diesel 4WD and diesel passenger vehicle repairs, inspections and services. We are conveniently located in Brendale.

A diesel engine can be more efficient, better for the environment and cheaper to run than its petrol-powered counterpart. However, it still needs regular servicing to keep it running at an ultimate level and to help make sure nothing goes wrong.
