At Belair Road Auto we value your safety and have installed in our workshop the * SafeTstop Tester which is European engineered and Australian built, to test your vehicle for braking performance, tyre drag, shock absorber condition and weight distribution.
YOUR CAR’S BRAKING PERFORMANCE :
Measures individual wheels brake force, showing left to right imbalance and front to rear distribution.
- Checks that your car stops effectively.
- Highlights possible braking deficiencies.
- Braking deficiencies are things such as leaking master cylinders, seized callipers, leaks, collapsed or blocked brake hoses, and faulty proportioning valves.
- Vehicles with braking deficiencies in most cases still stop – but will require a longer distance and may not stop in a straight line.
THE ALIGNMENT OF YOUR VEHICLE WHEELS :
The correct amount of toe-in or out on your car’s wheels is very important to your car’s on-road performance.
- Affecting tread wear and the life of your tyres.
- Vehicle straight line drivability.
- Need for a full alignment.
SHOCK ABSORBER CONDITION :
Worn shock absorbers reduce braking efficiency.
- Resulting in longer stopping distances.
- Increased risk of skidding in the wet.
- Less control when cornering.
- Increased wear on tyres and suspension components
WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION:
Shows weight distribution, as well as total weight of your vehicle.
- The gross weight of a vehicle affects how the vehicle performs on the road.
- Checks the weight imbalance after fitting heavy accessories such as retro trays or bullbars etc.
ILLUSTRATED ON AN EASY TO READ REPORT:
On completion of the test, a report is produced which clearly indicates the results on an easy to read sheet.
