Is your car unsteady when you corner? Not braking the way it used to? A Safe-T-Stop test will soon have your braking back on track.

Your car's braking and suspension play a vital role in making sure that your car stops quickly and safely. Here at Duffy's Automotive Tamworth in Taminda we take your safety very seriously. 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.

You can trust a Safe-T-Stop test with your family's safety. It provides an added inspection that goes far beyond a common check and road test to scientifically test your braking capacity and ensure maximum stopping performance.

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, just like it would happen in an emergency stop on the road!

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

A Safe-T-Stop check will give you an accurate and detailed printed report that will enable the qualified technicians at Duffy's Automotive Tamworth to advise you on any critical adjustments that should be made.

Book your safe-t-stop test online or call Duffy's Automotive Tamworth today.

Rather than take aim at your musical preferences, we want to talk about the importance of your shock absorbers.

Worn out shocks on your car not only means you're bouncing around corners, but you could also reduce your braking distance by a whopping 2.6 metres, which can be extremely dangerous on the road.

 Most people don't know that the primary role of shockers is to keep your tyres in constant contact with the road surface. The less road contact, the slower you stop, and in an emergency that can be deadly. That is why we are part of the Monroe Safety Specialist program, to help educate and keep motorists safe.

At our Tamworth workshop, we offer our customers the peace of mind of knowing our fully trained technicians can test all of your steering and suspension systems and advise you on the right shockers for your driving conditions and needs. 

Call us today and make sure the only rocking and rolling going on in your car is coming from your sound system!

If you have worn shock absorbers on your car, not only will you be rocking and rolling around corner...

A Brake Service is obviously needed when your vehicle takes longer to stop than normal when you hit the brakes.. But its important to know there are less noticeable warning signs that you must look out for to guarantee your safety when traveling on the road.

The following symptoms mean you need to get your brakes checked:

Your brake pedal feels hard, soft or spongy

Your car pulls to the left or right while braking

When braking there is a high pitched squeak or squeal

If your car displays these symptoms, contact us at Duffy's Automotive Tamworth as soon as possible

Brakes are the number one most important part of your safety; forgetting their regular service is downright dangerous. Braking systems need to be checked over at every service and by a qualified technician.

At Duffy's Automotive Tamworth we offer a 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report with every car service that we perform, and advise you if we feel there are any immediate safety concerns, and offer the needed repairs or service. Our written report will also let you know if there are requirements in the near future you should plan for.

As part of this inspection we check over the brake system components including:

Wheel balance refers to how smoothly an individual wheel rotates around its own centre. Unbalanced wheels can cause other parts of your car to wear down faster - such as shock absorbers, struts and steering. If your wheels are not balanced properly it can affect the overall performance and feel of your car. 

Your steering wheel or car vibrates at high speed.

Your tyres have had some rough treatment such as potholes or extremely rough roads. 

Duffy's Automotive Tamworth are fully equipped to balance your wheels - if you have any concerns, don't hesitate to make a booking today.
