Brakes

Properly functioning brakes nsure your vehicle can slow and stop in an emergency. At Pro-tech we take your safety seriously, which is why we provide brakes for a range of vehicles as well as free brake safety reports.

Included in the range of brake components we provide are:

Master cylinders
Calipers and wheel cylinders
Brake pads and shoes
Anti-lock brakes
Hand brakes

To ensure that your brakes are always working at their optimum, it is recommended that you have all aspects of your braking system routinely inspected – especially before undertaking a long journey.

Brake Fluid Change

Pro-tech also provides brake fluid changes to keep your brakes performing at their best.

Brake fluid is an essential component for stopping the car, with brakes unable to operate without it. Over time, brake fluid can decline in quality as it absorbs water during its lifespan, negatively impacting the effectiveness of your car’s braking system.

Some telltale signs that your brake fluid may need replacing include fluid that’s dark in colour or the presence of air bubbles and/or debris. If you’re not sure what you should be looking for, it’s always worth getting a professional to check over your vehicle.

Our technicians can diagnose issues with your brakes and will drain the current fluid before refilling your system with replacement brake fluid. This is usually performed using a pressure bleeder to avoid the brake fluid interacting with the air, which can impact the quality of the fluid. Overall, a brake fluid replacement takes around 30 – 45 minutes, making it a quick way to maintain your vehicle’s safety and reliability.

It’s always best to get a professional to perform a fluid replacement, as performing it incorrectly at home can negatively impact your car’s braking ability.

Wheel balancing

Look after your tyre health with wheel balancing services from the professionals. Maintaining the correct balance is vital for avoiding all kinds of problems, and for ensuring tyre health and longevity.

Here at Pro-tech, we ensure a smooth ride for your vehicle with expert tyre balancing. This service ensures that the weight of your tyre and wheels is completely even around the axle. When your tyres are first fitted, they will be perfectly balanced. However, everyday road use means that gradually they will be thrown off balance – which is why it’s important to get them regularly rebalanced.

The benefits of tyre balancing

Prevents vibrations for a smoother drive
Prevents uneven tyre wear
Prevents strain of suspension system

All of these benefits mean that tyre balancing will allow your tyres to perform at a high standard for much longer. Signs of unbalanced tyres can be subtle, the most obvious being a vibration or wobbling sensation when driving. You will need a professional to assess your vehicle in order to determine if the wheels are unbalanced.

Wheel alignment

Maximising the lifespan of your wheel and improving your vehicle’s hold on the road. Pro-tech has invested in the latest state of the art laser wheel alignment technology, ensuring you get the best possible results everytime.

Signs your wheels need aligning

Whether it’s constant bumping on kerbs or simple wear over time, most wheels will eventually need to be adjusted by a professional at some point. Therefore, wheel alignment is a key part of car maintenance to keep your vehicle roadworthy.

When wheel alignment is set correctly, it can also save you money on fuel and tyre replacements.

Signs that your wheels are unbalanced include:

Steering wheel vibrations
Unusual noises
Uneven wear on tyres
A feeling or ‘pulling’ to one side

These may be more noticeable at faster speeds.

Neglecting to get your wheel alignment checked can result in uneven tyre tread, resulting in your tyres wearing down more quickly, along with general discomfort and reduced safety when driving. It can also lead to poor fuel economy, if left unresolved.

Puncture repairs

A common car-related problem, a puncture is typically caused by a tyre driving over sharp debris, glass or nails which pierce the rim of the tyre and cause it to deflate. Although it is small in size, a tyre puncture can have dangerous consequences, quickly making a vehicle unsafe to drive. If your tyres have suffered from a puncture and are in need of a thorough puncture repair, look no further than the experts at Pro-tech to get you back on the road.

As leading tyre specialists, we pride ourselves on the quality of our workmanship and our attention to detail. We will carry out a tyre puncture repair in line with official safety regulations to ensure all standards are met. The size and location of the puncture can determine whether the tyre can be repaired or needs replacing entirely, so our experts will carefully examine the problem and carry out the required remedial action.

Slow Puncture

If your vehicle veers to one side when driving or has become difficult to steer, it may be that your tyres have fallen victim to a slow puncture. This refers to a partially inflated tyre which causes an imbalance in the steering of the vehicle and its braking capabilities.

Tyre valves, alloy wheels, poor sealant due to corrosion and a nail in the tyre and faulty manufacturing are all contributing factors which can see your tyres losing air pressure quicker than they should; this is a safety hazard as they can blow out when you are travelling at high speeds.
