At Gladstone Valley Tyres we can service:

• Brakes
• Suspension
• General Repairs

Brakes

The braking system in your vehicle is extremely important, it along with your tyres slows and stops your vehicle and the proper maintenance and operation of this system is critical. If you have any particular concerns due to unusual noises, vibrations or smells please do not hesitate to book the vehicle in and have them checked.

Suspension

Your vehicles suspension system is made up of many different individual components all working together to maximise your tyres contact with the road surface to allow for the highest level of grip, handling and comfort. Your suspension system consists of shock absorbers/struts, springs, ball joints, tie rod ends, rack ends and bushes. If one or more of these components are worn or faulty then your vehicles ability to stop or turn (especially in an emergency) is compromised. This can also lead to excessive wear on your tyres and other non-faulty suspension components due to the excess movement in the faulty ones.

The most common signs to indicate your suspension may need replacing are:

• Knocks over bumps
• Rolls and dips around corners
• Tyres have unusual tread wear
• Shocks/struts are leaking fluid
