The purpose of your brakes is to ensure that every single time you drive, the lives of you and those you care for are kept safe in the event of a sudden stop. We take vehicle safety incredibly seriously at AVR Automotive. That’s why we work so hard to not only repair and maintain brakes. But also, to ensure that our clients are made aware of how crucial it is to have the brakes on their vehicle checked regularly.
A check at home with the help of Google may seem like the cost-efficient idea. But only a qualified mechanic can ascertain whether your brakes are fit for purpose and will bring you to a complete stop in the event of an emergency.If you suspect that your vehicle might be coming to a sudden stop slower than normal, or travelling even after you hit the brake pedal, it’s time to trust the automotive experts at AVR to keep you and your passengers safe.
Signs That Your Vehicle Brake System Needs Checking
- Unusual vibrations during braking
- Slight swerving of the car when the brake is applied
- A strange burning smell after medium to heavy braking periods
- A spongey brake pedal that doesn’t feel responsive when pressured
- Complete compression of the brake pedal fails to brake quickly
- Your car taking longer than usual to come to a complete stop
- Your brake pedal bouncing or moving unusually under your foot
- Fluid leaks in and around where the brakes are situated in your vehicle

Bernie Wolff ★★★★★ 3 years ago
Wow these guys know exceptional service, from the first phone call enquiry before I put my mazda in for … More a major service. Michael offered a loan car but I didn't need it. He called me during the day to let me know what needed to be done, breaking down the high priority list items, and itemising them so I knew what I could opt in for or not. Picked car up at the end of the day, and Michael explained everything so seemlessly to me (for anyone to understand) and was so great about the whole thing. They only get work off reviews & word of mouth which clearly says something as they don't ever need to advertise. Only thing missing was a little vacuum of my interior that was mentioned had been done and hadn't as was so minor but I was impressed with the experience, I would recommend to others. -

Kassie O'Brien ★★★★★ 3 years ago
When I moved to the area I chose a local mechanic based off Google reviews. Seeing that absolute car … More care had great reviews I gave them a go. Now I completely understand why they're so highly reviewed!
A basic service is very well priced, and the report recieved at the end of the service outlines any further repairs or maintenance that would be required. Michael takes a significant amount of time to explain what needs to be done and why, and makes it easy for someone who isn't mechanically minded to understand what is going on.
Courtesy cars are also provided if booked in advance which makes it easy to get around whilst your car is being service, and when you pick up your car it looks lovely as they do a complimentary light vacuum/clean.
Highly recommend!!! -

Thoroughly explaining to me exactly what they had done with a warm welcoming manner
If you have any concerns and am looking for a new local mechanic.100% choose absolute car car. They will not disappoint you! -

I’ve been taking my car to Absolute Care Car for years and can honestly say it’s been the best experience! … More They’ve always provided me with a courtesy car when I’ve needed one. During the day, the owner Michael always calls to explain what needs to be fixed (according to what the mechanics see needs replacing or fixing) and he seeks permission to go ahead with anything falling outside of the standard service. It’s always communicated clearly when my car is ready. Upon pick up he takes the time to explain what they have done and what can wait, to be fixed at the next service. They don’t just fix things for the sake of it or because the log book says so. Which I really appreciate. The cherry on top is that they do a quick wash and vacuum of my car prior to collection. Absolute Car Care are affordable, genuine, honest and I’d recommend them in a heartbeat. Thanks guys! -
