Find your car rocking and rolling when you corner? Not braking the way it used to? Thinking of upgrading your suspension? A Safe-T-Stop test will soon have you back on track.
Your car's braking and suspension play an important part in making sure that your car stops quickly and safely. Here at Brendale Automotive in Brendale we take your safety very seriously. This is why we have invested in a state of the art Safe-T-Stop testing machine and we are an approved Safe-T-Stop Testing Centre.
Are my brakes safe?
Your family's safety can be trusted with a Safe-T-Stop test. It provides an added safety inspection that goes far beyond a standard check and road test to scientifically test your braking capacity and ensure maximum stopping performance.
A Safe-T-Stop test is carried out on the electronically accurate PlateTronic test equipment. Safe-T-Stop test lanes measure and simulate a vehicle's brake performance in real-life conditions, exactly as it would happen in an emergency stop on the road!
Why a Safe-T-Stop test?
Along with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your car will stop straight and in the shortest possible distance in an emergency, having your braking and suspension system in peak operating condition help you save money by minimising tyre drag and tyre wear which can increase fuel costs.
A Safe-T-Stop check will give you a detailed and accurate printed report that will enable the qualified technicians at Brendale Automotive to advise you on any critical adjustments that should be made.
4x4 Suspension GVM Upgrades
When considering suspension GVM upgrades, it's crucial to ensure your vehicle complies with legal weight regulations. A suspension upgrade may improve load-carrying capacity but can unintentionally exceed your vehicle’s GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) limit. This is where the Safe-T-Stop Brake, Wheel Alignment & Suspension Tester proves invaluable. It accurately assesses the weight distribution over the front and rear axles, which is vital for meeting GVM regulations. By identifying how weight is distributed across the axles, it helps determine whether your suspension upgrade will keep your vehicle within safe and legal limits. Additionally, Brendale Automotive can create a custom suspension package that suits your vehicle’s specific weight, load, and towing requirements, ensuring compliance while maintaining optimal performance.
A Safe-T-Stop test is particularly beneficial when planning a GVM upgrade as it provides precise data on your vehicle's suspension and tyre performance. The system evaluates corner weights, suspension rebound and compression, and tyre drag, offering a clear picture of how your vehicle handles additional loads. This information is essential for selecting the appropriate components, such as springs, shock absorbers, and tyres, to handle increased weight safely and effectively. With the insights provided by the Safe-T-Stop test, you can proceed with your suspension upgrade confidently, knowing your vehicle remains within its legal limits and operates at its best.
