When working correctly, the power steering system is quite remarkable, allowing pretty much anyone to handle an enormous steel machine as it zooms along at high speeds or navigates around tight corners.

As such, when you have a power steering problem you'll probably notice the difference.

Symptoms include sluggish steering response, leaking hydraulic fluid under the vehicle and difficulty turning the steering wheel.

Power Steering Service and Repairs in Katoomba

Wheel Bearings are the means by which axles and wheels are supported and able to turn freely, with minimum friction and whilst simultaneously carrying the entire weight of the vehicle.

They are therefore a critical element of your car's drivetrain and a wheel bearing failure can be catastrophic, as it will usually result in the axle or wheel collapsing and detaching from the car. Because wheel bearings are usually hidden, it is often a forgotten component in the vehicle, so proper maintenance and regular inspection is important.

If you are unaware of any unusual noises or symptoms, be sure to alert the team at A1 Precision Automotive  in Katoomba so they can investigate thoroughly.

Peace of mind: Not only are we a Repco Authorised Service Centre, but we have a combined 20 years of experience on our team. From large jobs to small, you know you are in good hands with our mechanics.

Wheel bearing failure: symptoms and causes

The wheels on your vehicle need to operate in a smooth manner, regardless of surfaces and speeds. When there is damage to the wheel bearings, the drive is no longer smooth as friction will build up. This friction can then break down the wheel bearings and cause wear and tear on the axle.

A1 Precision Automotive  can give you peace of mind by advising you what is causing the loud noise or vibration in your vehicle. It may be time to come in and see our mechanics if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

Damaged or leaking seal on the wheel bearings

What's stopping you? Hopefully, your brakes...

If you're finding your car rocking and rolling when you turn a corner, there might be an issue with your brakes. A Safe-T-Stop test will soon have your braking back on track.

The braking and suspension system of your car play an extremely vital role in the effectiveness of your car stopping quickly and securely, particularly when you truly need it to. This is why we have invested in a state of the art Safe-T-Stop testing machine and we are an approved Safe-T-Stop Testing Centre.

Unlike a basic road test, the Safe-T-Stop tests your car’s brake performance under real-life conditions. A detailed report is generated with results of the inspection which will enable the technicians at A1 Precision Automotive  to advise on any critical adjustments that need to be made.

A Safe-T-Stop test is carried out on the electronically accurate PlateTronic test equipment. Safe-T-Stop test lanes measure and simulate a vehicle's brake performance in real-life conditions, exactly as it would happen in an emergency stop on the road!

Safe-T-Stop - Committed to Safer Motoring

Along with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your car will stop straight and in the shortest possible distance in an emergency, having your braking and suspension system in peak operating condition help you save money by minimising tyre drag and tyre wear which can increase fuel costs.

Book your Safe-T-Stop test online or call A1 Precision Automotive  today.

We can combine our fully qualified expertise and knowledge with our local understanding of the driving conditions in Katoomba to not only make sure your wheels are aligned correctly, but to confirm there are no underlying issues with the technologies behind the wheel that keep you safe on the roads.

The performance of safety systems such as traction, stability control, and  ABS braking systems depend largely on how well the suspension performs, which also depends on how well the wheels are aligned, which then has a direct bearing on how the suspension copes with cornering and braking forces, as well as with sudden steering inputs - phew, that's a long line of follow on effects! But that's why it's important to always have a fully qualified workshop perform your Wheel Alignment. 

Having an alignment procedure done at A1 Precision Automotive  means knowing that the root cause of the original wheel alignment problem can be corrected professionally by suitably qualified technicians. Book in today!
