At P & L Mechanical Services, your safety is our top priority. That’s why we’ve invested in the advanced Safe-T-Stop plate brake testing system—so you can have the absolute confidence that your vehicle will stop where and when it needs to. What Is Safe-T-Stop Brake Testing? Safe-T-Stop delivers scientific, data-driven assessments of your vehicle’s braking, alignment, suspension, and weight distribution—all in under a minute. Unlike simple visual inspections or road-driven tests, Safe-T-Stop uses PlateTronic electronic test lanes to simulate an emergency stop and accurately measure performance What Your Test Includes Individual wheel brake force measurements and balance checks (front-to-rear and side-to-side). Wheel alignment and tyre drag/wear analysis to optimise tyre lifespan and fuel use. Suspension performance, including bounce and rebound tests to assess shock absorber condition. Weight distribution metrics: corner weights and axle weights—especially useful for commercial or modified vehicles. A detailed printed report with date, time, and photo evidence—perfect for transparency and record-keeping The Safe-T-Stop system offers far more than a basic brake check—it provides peace of mind with accurate, scientific testing across multiple safety points.  A University of Adelaide study showed that traditional decelerometer tests can let vehicles with dangerously impaired brakes pass, even when stopping distances are extended by more than 12 metres.  Safe-T-Stop, however, was the only system proven to identify all faults correctly and issue appropriate fails, making it a trusted standard in road safety. Beyond braking performance, the system also evaluates alignment, suspension, and weight distribution, giving you a complete picture of your vehicle’s roadworthiness.  Early detection of alignment issues helps reduce tyre drag, extend tyre life, and improve fuel efficiency, saving you money over time. Best of all, the entire process is quick and convenient—completed in under a minute—so you get reliable, data-driven results without interrupting your day. As a Repco Authorised Service Centre, we adhere to the highest industry standards and quality care practices. Being equipped with Safe-T-Stop places us among leading independent workshops offering rigorous, comprehensive brake diagnostics, giving you peace of mind that your safety is in expert hands.

Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even know there is a clutch in your vehicle. But without it, the gears in your car will not change. P & L Mechanical Services in Melton South know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below. What is a clutch? The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to spin, but what happens when your car needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop spinning but the wheels need to. It's the clutch that allows this to happen. The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run. What is clutch fluid? Some vehicles have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. Leaking clutch fluid can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At P & L Mechanical Services in Melton South we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you in the course of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection - which you can request as part of every car service.
 What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing You should have your clutch looked at if: You notice a burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle Your vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason There is jerky or sticky gear operation Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it could mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine. The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is contact us at P & L Mechanical Services today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Melton South workshop.
