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.

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

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.

Don't leave your braking performance to chance. Book a Safe-T-Stop test with us—you’ll get results you can trust, plus the insights you need to keep you and your family safe on the road. Call or visit us online to book now!
