Find your car rocking and rolling when you corner? Not stopping the way it used to? A Safe-T-Stop test will soon sort out your braking problems.

Your car's braking and suspension play an important part in making sure that your car stops quickly and safely. Here at Total Car Care Centre in Glen Waverley 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 well beyond a basic 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 actually saves you money by minimising tyre wear and tyre drag which can increase petrol consumption.

A Safe-T-Stop check will give you a precise and detailed printed report that will enable the qualified technicians at Total Car Care Centre to advise you on any critical adjustments that should be made.

Book your Safe-T-Stop test online or call Total Car Care Centre today.

The constant velocity joint, or CV joint, connects your transmission to your wheels.

When working properly this part ensures a smooth and constant rotation of the wheels while you are turning corners, ensuring a comfortable and safe ride.

If there are issues such as a cracked or torn boot or not enough high pressure grease, then the CV joint can fail. Symptoms include poor handling around corners, vibrating or an audible clicking sound whilst cornering.

Contact us at the first sign of trouble because repairing a torn boot and refilling the grease is a relatively cheap and easy procedure but if you leave it you could end up with a failed joint which needs to be replaced. We are located in Glen Waverley and serve many customers in the surrounding areas as well.

Exceptional Care: As a part of the Repco Authorised Network of mechanics we have all the latest diagnostic equipment to keep your car running at optimal performance

Peace of Mind: We offer the peace of mind which comes from the Repco Nationwide Warranty along with the friendly service which comes from dealing with a neighbourhood shop

Education: Not only are our mechanics attending ongoing seminars and checking service bulletins, but they are always available to help our clients learn more about what is going on with their car

High Pressure Grease re­filling (this goes in the boot)

Clicking sound when turning which may be caused from a loss of the high pressure grease due to a cracked boot.

Growling when the vehicle is in motion due to a broken or loose CV joint.

Vibrations when accelerating due to a worn joint.

For a high quality CV Joint & Boot Service at a competitive price, speak with us or book online. We are located at Unit 3/13 Aristoc Road and service many customers in Glen Waverley and the surrounding areas.
