The Importance of Regular Brake and Clutch Maintenance
Here’s why you should arrange brake and clutch maintenance at scheduled times during the year:
1) Regular brake and clutch services are important for safety. Properly functioning brakes and clutches ensure that your vehicle can slow down or stop quickly when necessary.
2) They help maintain optimal performance. Worn out or damaged brakes and clutches can make it difficult to control the car, causing unnecessary wear and tear on other parts.
3) They save you money in the long run. This is because regular brake and clutch services can detect any issues early on, before they become more serious (and costly) problems down the line.
4) They help keep your vehicle reliable. By keeping up with regular brake and clutch services, you can be confident that your vehicle will run reliably for many years to come.

Signs That Your Brakes/Clutch Are Wearing Out
At Fischer Automotive, we understand the importance of maintaining your vehicle's brakes and clutch for your safety on the road. It's important to recognise the early signs of wear and tear to prevent more significant issues down the line. Here are some key indicators that your brakes or clutch may need attention:
- Unusual Noises: If you hear grinding, screeching or squeaking when you apply the brakes, it's a clear sign that your brake pads or discs may be worn out. These sounds occur when the brake pads have worn down too much, causing metal-to-metal contact.
- Vibrations or Pulsing: Feeling a vibration or pulsing sensation through the brake pedal or steering wheel when braking can indicate warped rotors. This warping can occur due to excessive heat and stress on the brakes.
- Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal: If your brake pedal feels unusually soft or sinks to the floor, this could be a sign of air in the hydraulic system or a problem with the master cylinder.
- Reduced Responsiveness: If your brakes are not as responsive as they used to be or if the clutch pedal feels loose, it's time to get them checked. This could be due to a leak in the brake system or an issue with the clutch mechanism.
- Burning Smell While Driving: Experiencing a sharp, chemical odour after repeated hard braking, especially on steep roads, is a warning sign. This could indicate that your clutch is overheating and might be close to failing.
- Visible Wear and Tear: Regularly inspect your brake pads for signs of wear. If the pad is less than a quarter-inch thick, it's time for a replacement.
At Fischer Automotive, we're dedicated to ensuring your vehicle's brakes and clutch are in top condition. Our experienced mechanics in Bundaberg provide comprehensive brake and clutch repair services, ensuring your safety and prolonging the life of your vehicle. Remember, addressing these signs early can save you from costly repairs and keep you safe on the road.
