Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even know there is a clutch in your vehicle. But without it, the gears in your car will not change. AAA Auto Care in Bayswater know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below. What is a clutch? The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to spin, but what happens when your car needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop spinning but the wheels need to. It's the clutch that allows this to happen. The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run. What is clutch fluid? Some vehicles have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. Leaking clutch fluid can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At AAA Auto Care in Bayswater we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you in the course of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection - which you can request as part of every car service.
 What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing You should have your clutch looked at if: You notice a burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle Your vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason There is jerky or sticky gear operation Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it could mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine. The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is contact us at AAA Auto Care today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Bayswater workshop.

The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation.

When it comes to driving, nothing is more important than the ability to stop. Your vehicle's brake system is made up of various components, including the brake pads, rotors, and calipers, all of which work together to provide the stopping power needed to keep you safe on the road. Of these components, brake pads are perhaps the most critical. Why is replacing the brake pads so important? In this article, we'll explore why one of the key components of brake maintenance is replacing the brake pads, and how regular brake maintenance can save you time, money, and potential accidents. First and foremost, it's important to understand what brake pads do and how they work. When you apply the brakes, the brake pads press against the brake rotors, creating friction and slowing the vehicle down. Over time, this friction can wear down the brake pads, making them less effective and less able to stop your vehicle quickly and efficiently. This is why it's essential to replace your brake pads when they become worn down. So, what happens if you don't replace your brake pads when they're due for maintenance? The consequences can be serious. Worn brake pads may not provide the stopping power needed to bring your vehicle to a stop quickly and efficiently. This means you may have a slower response time when braking, which could result in a collision. Additionally, worn brake pads can damage the brake rotors and calipers, leading to costly repairs. If you ignore your brakes for too long, you may also have to replace the tyres on your car earlier than expected due to excessive wear. By taking a proactive approach to brake maintenance, you can keep your brakes in optimal condition and enjoy a safer and more comfortable ride. Regular brake maintenance can save you time and money in the long run by avoiding costly repairs and potential accidents. One of the best ways to ensure your brakes are in good condition is to have them inspected regularly by a professional mechanic. A brake inspection should include an examination of the brake pads, rotors, calipers, and brake fluid levels. By catching any potential issues early, you can address them before they turn into costly repairs. In addition to having your brakes inspected regularly, there are some warning signs to look out for that indicate your brake pads may be worn out. If you notice that your car is vibrating or shaking when you brake, this may be a sign that your brake pads need to be replaced. You may also notice that it takes longer to come to a stop when you apply the brakes. If you experience any of these warning signs, it's important to have your brakes checked immediately to ensure your safety on the road. Brake pads are a critical component of your vehicle's braking system that require routine maintenance. Regular brake maintenance can save you time and money in the long run by avoiding costly repairs and potential accidents. By taking a proactive approach to brake maintenance, you can keep your brakes in optimal condition and enjoy a safer and more comfortable ride. So if you have any reason to think that your brakes might need some attention, don't hesitate to bring your car into AAA Auto Care in Bayswater and we will help ensure you can stop in time...

What You Need to Know About Getting Your Vehicle Roadworthy If you’re selling, re-registering, or transferring ownership of a vehicle in Victoria, securing a valid Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) is essential. At AAA Auto Care in Bayswater, we help drivers prepare their vehicles for inspection and ensure they’re safe and compliant with Victorian road safety standards. Here's what every car owner needs to know to pass a Roadworthy Inspection with confidence...    What Is a Roadworthy Certificate? An RWC confirms that a vehicle is in a safe condition for use on public roads. It’s not a guarantee of mechanical perfection or longevity, but rather an assessment of key safety-related components. Only authorised vehicle testers can issue RWCs, and the inspection covers a range of systems and parts to verify their roadworthiness. What’s Checked During a Roadworthy Inspection? When you bring your vehicle to AAA Auto Care in Bayswater for a roadworthy inspection, our licensed mechanics perform a comprehensive check of all major safety components. The focus is on the systems that directly affect safe driving conditions: Braking System: Your brakes are one of the most critical safety features on your vehicle, and they must function effectively. Pads, rotors, brake lines, and fluid levels are examined for wear, damage, or leaks. Even slight uneven braking can result in a failed inspection. Tyres: Tyres must have a tread depth of at least 1.5mm across the full surface and be free from damage like bulges, splits, or punctures. Uneven wear may indicate an alignment or suspension issue, which also needs to be addressed before a certificate can be issued. Steering and Suspension: We check for play in the steering components, worn bushings, and leaks or damage in suspension struts and shock absorbers. Loose or worn parts can compromise handling and safety. Lights and Indicators: All lights, including headlights, brake lights, tail lights, and indicators, must be fully operational and correctly aligned. Any faulty bulbs or damaged lenses will need replacing. Windscreen, Wipers, and Washers: The windscreen should be free from major cracks or chips that impair visibility. Wiper blades must be in good condition and effectively clear the screen. Seat Belts: All seat belts must be in good working order with secure mountings, free from fraying or damage, and retract properly. Exhaust and Emissions: The exhaust system must not leak and should comply with noise and emissions standards. Any excessive smoke or unusual engine noise may be flagged. Vehicle Structure and Bodywork: Structural damage, corrosion (especially near critical mounting points), or insecure body panels can result in a fail. Other Safety Components: Mirrors, horn, battery security, and general engine performance are also checked. Fluid leaks are inspected, especially brake and transmission fluids. What Happens After the Inspection? If your vehicle passes, you’ll receive a Roadworthy Certificate valid for 30 days. If it doesn’t pass, you’ll be issued a rejection report detailing what needs fixing. You then have 14 days to make the necessary repairs and return the vehicle for a free re-check. After that window, the process must be restarted with a new inspection. How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Inspection You can improve your chances of passing the first time by booking a pre-inspection with the team at AAA Auto Care. Our 65-Point Vehicle Inspection is an ideal way to spot potential issues early. This detailed service covers everything a roadworthy check does and more, providing peace of mind and helping avoid surprises. Why Choose AAA Auto Care in Bayswater? Our qualified mechanics use up-to-date diagnostic tools and follow strict standards to ensure your vehicle is truly roadworthy. We focus on transparent communication, so you'll know exactly what's needed if any issues arise. Whether you drive a compact car, family SUV, or light commercial vehicle, we have the expertise to get your vehicle inspection-ready. Passing an RWC in Bayswater is all about preparation. By staying on top of regular maintenance—especially brake health and tyre condition—you’ll not only improve your chances of passing, but ensure your vehicle is genuinely safe on the road.    If your car’s due for a roadworthy inspection, or if you’d like a pre-check to prepare, contact the friendly team at AAA Auto Care today. We’ll help you every step of the way...
