Tyre & Mechanical Safety Tips

Check Pressure Regularly

Ensure that you check your air pressure at least once a week. For the greatest accuracy, check your tyres when they are cold with a reliable tyre pressure gauge.


Rotate Tyres Regularly

To even out the wear and obtain the best possible life from your tyres they should be rotated on a regular basis. We recommend rotating your tyres every 10,000km. Note: If you purchase 4 tyres from us then we will do this for free for the life of the tyres (normally $25 each rotation)


Do Not Mix Tyres

It is potentially dangerous to mix tyres of different sizes as they have individual handling characteristics.


Avoid Curb Impact

Every time you hit the curb with your tyres, you increase the likelihood of fractures occurring in the sidewall of your tyres. So it makes sense to drive and park carefully to avoid contact with curbs.


Do Not Drive on Bald Tyres

Once tyre tread wears down to around 1.6mm, your tyres may be unsafe.


We take every care to ensure we advise you as to the best tyres to suit your car and driving needs. We will ensure that tyres with the correct size, speed rating, load capacity and inflation pressure are fitted to your vehicle.

Periodic Vehicle Inspection

Becoming familiar with your vehicle will alert you to any problems that may arise. A visual inspection of the underbody, tyres and panel and testing of the lights and windscreen wipers can help maintain peace of mind and vehicle safety between scheduled servicing.


Check Fluid Levels Regularly

Fluids are vital in keeping your vehicle running smoothly, by checking your oil, transmission and coolant levels regularly you may pick up on a problem before it becomes a costly repair. Always do these checks when the car is cool to avoid injury.


Maintain Your Vehicle's Recommended Service Schedule

Regular maintenance at selected kilometre and/or monthly intervals, as specified by the manufacturer will help ensure that your vehicle is running in its most effective and efficent manner.
