Brakes are one of the most important car safety features, but they don’t always get the attention they need. Every time you hit your brakes, they suffer wear and tear which eventually leads to loss of control and brake failure.
Other safety features like airbags only reduce the severity of an accident. Making sure your brakes are working properly is the best way to prevent collisions altogether. A regular brake service can be the difference between a devastating accident and a safe emergency stop.
That’s why regular professional brake servicing and repairs are so important. As local Bundaberg mechanics, we’ve seen many accidents occur when brakes aren’t maintained properly. Poor braking performance or uneven braking reduces driver control right when you need it the most.
The good news is that these problems are preventable by completing a car brake service. At Shift Automotive, our team’s top priority is keeping you and your family safe on the road. As brake specialists, we offer state-of-the-art brake testing, repairs and servicing here in our Bundaberg workshop.
We are a locally owned and operated business dedicated to the community. Whether you need brake repairs for your family car, 4×4, performance vehicle or van, you can count on the experienced mechanics at Shift Automotive.
