As the main role of tyres is to keep your car in contact with the road, they play a vital role in the safety and stopping power of your car.

Regular car servicing will keep your car in good condition and having the tyres checked at the same time can help you be aware of the condition of your tyres while alerting you of any potential problems. Your Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) mechanic can also let you know if your car would benefit from a wheel alignment or wheel balancing. They are relatively low cost solutions and can greatly improve your driving experience as well as overall vehicle safety.

Frequently Asked Questions by Our Customers...

Tyres eventually wear out over time, an unavoidable process which is quickened by hard braking and regular high speed driving as well as uneven road surfaces. Unless there are problems causing uneven tyre wear or bald spots or there is other significant damage, the depth of the tread on the tyre is usually the best indicator your tyres are due for replacement. Although the legal minimum tread depth varies, a good rule of thumb is when tread depth is approaching 1.6mm you should think about buying new tyres.

Tread on a tyre is very important as this is where you get the traction to both move the car forwards and also the friction required to stop safely and efficiently. Tread is also the method by which water is dissipated away from the tyre surface in a way which prevents aquaplaning and maintaining maximum grip and control. The less tread depth you have, the less control you will have in wet driving conditions.

Tyres generally last between six to ten years and the better you look after them the more chance there is that it will be the latter rather than the former.

Tyre pressure is not just important to ensure you get the best fuel economy from your vehicle. Incorrect tyre pressure is a common cause of tyre damage as pressure and wear is directed at areas of the tyre not designed to take it. Perhaps most importantly the pressure of your tyres can have a direct impact on the driveability, and therefore the safety, of the vehicle.

Q3. Why should tyres be checked regularly?

You should check your tyres yourself on a regular basis to ensure they are in good condition. Be on the lookout for bald or flat spots, tears and cuts in the surface of the tyre and any foreign objects likely to cause problems such as stones, nails and other road debris. You should also have a tyre professional give them a check on a regular basis as they have the knowledge and equipment to properly check the entire tyre and may spot issues you simply don't see.

Tyres will suffer from wear and tear at varying rates. The front and rear tyres for example will wear at different rates as front tyres generally carry more weight than rear ones, meaning faster heat build-up and therefore increased wear. The tyres on either side of your car will also tend to wear at different rates to those on the opposite side.

Having your tyres rotated regularly, every 8000 to 10,000 km for example, can help to ensure that all of your tyres wear at a similar rate and in the same places. Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) will be happy to undertake this task for you and inspect each tyre as they do it, letting you know of any issues that might present a problem or you should otherwise be aware of. We can undertake all types of tyre rotation for you including Cross rotation, straight rotation, 5 wheel rotation and four wheel drive rotation.

Q5. Will a regular wheel alignment or balance help look after tyres?

Regular wheel alignment helps to protect against premature or uneven tyre wear, increases the safety and handling of your vehicle and improves ride performance and fuel efficiency. Wheel balancing helps to minimise vibration through the wheels, thereby minimising premature or uneven tyre wear. Either wheel service (or both) will go a long way in helping to maximise the life of your tyres along with safety and handling benefits.

No matter how well you care for your tyres there will come a time when the only option for maintaining safety, comfort and fuel economy of your car is to have the tyres replaced, such as when they have reached the minimum tread depth. 

Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) supply and fit a range of tyres suitable for most vehicle types in our Cranbourne West car service workshop.

In the realm of automotive repairs and maintenance, few services are as essential and complex as On Car Brake Disc Machining. At Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) in Cranbourne West, we offer expert and precision-oriented disc brake machining services that elevate your driving experience. But what is On Car Brake Disc Machining? Why is it critical, and what are the technical aspects you need to understand? Let's delve deeper into these pertinent topics.

On Car Brake Disc Machining involves skimming or cutting a thin layer off the disc rotor's surface to restore it to a condition as close to new as possible. This is typically necessary when the rotors become warped, scored, or corroded due to usage, heat, and exposure to elements. As the most renowned auto centre in Cranbourne West, we use high-tech tools and software to measure, resurface, and refurbish your disc rotors to provide maximum brake efficiency.

Understanding On Car Brake Disc Machining:

On Car Brake Disc Machining requires considerable skill, knowledge, and appropriate machinery. It's a procedure that eliminates discrepancies, such as warping or thickness variations, from the brake disc's surface. Utilising advanced lathing technology, Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) delivers precision disc resurfacing, removing only the necessary metal, leaving behind a perfect rotor surface for optimum braking power and longevity.

Technical Aspects of Disc Brake Machining:

One primary advantage of On Car Brake Disc Machining is it enhances your vehicle's safety and overall performance by offering smoother braking and eliminating shaking or shuddering when applying the brakes. Additionally, it can significantly increase your brake pads' lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacement and, in turn, saving you money in the long run.

On the flip side, there is a potential downside to brake disc machining. Excessive machining could result in rotors becoming too thin to effectively dissipate heat. This can compromise brake performance and safety. But fret not, at Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne), we maintain stringent standards to ensure machining is carried out optimally without reducing the rotors' integrity.

For Professional On Car Brake Disc Machining services in Cranbourne West, Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre stands as the unsurpassed choice.

In Victoria, Australia, ensuring your vehicle meets roadworthy standards is a legal requirement for registration and resale. During a Roadworthy Inspection, many parts of the vehicle are assessed for safety and compliance, and the windscreen is no exception. At Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) in Cranbourne West, we understand the importance of a clear and undamaged windscreen in maintaining your vehicle’s roadworthiness and ensuring safety on the roads.

The Importance of Windscreens in Roadworthy Inspections

A damaged windscreen can compromise both the driver’s vision and the structural integrity of the vehicle, which is why it often fails a Roadworthy Inspection. According to Victorian safety standards, windscreens must be in good condition, free from damage that affects visibility or poses safety risks.

Here are the key reasons why a damaged windscreen may not pass a Roadworthy Inspection:

Why Damaged Windscreens Are Non-Compliant

Obstructed Vision: Chips, cracks, or scratches in the driver’s line of sight can impair visibility, especially during adverse weather or at night.

Weakened Structural Integrity: The windscreen is an essential component of your vehicle’s structure. Cracks can reduce its strength, affecting the car’s ability to protect passengers during a collision.

Potential to Worsen: Even minor chips or cracks can spread over time due to changes in temperature or vibrations from driving, posing a greater safety hazard.

Non-Compliant Repairs: Poor-quality repairs or the use of incorrect materials can render the windscreen unsafe and non-compliant with safety regulations.

Some of the most frequent forms of windscreen damage that could lead to a failed inspection include:

Chips: Small areas where part of the windscreen has been removed by debris impact.

Cracks: Linear fractures that may expand over time.

Bullseyes: Circular damage caused by a stone or other hard object.

Star Breaks: Damage that radiates outward, resembling a star pattern.

Scratches: These can occur due to worn wiper blades or improper cleaning techniques.

At Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) in Cranbourne West, we specialise in helping drivers meet Victoria’s Roadworthy Inspection standards. If your windscreen is damaged, we can assess the extent of the issue and recommend the best course of action. In many cases, minor damage can be repaired if it is outside the driver’s line of sight and does not compromise the structural integrity of the glass. For more severe cases, we offer high-quality windscreen replacements that comply with all safety regulations.

Ensuring Compliance with Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne)

By addressing windscreen damage promptly, you can avoid failing a Roadworthy Inspection and ensure your vehicle is safe to drive. At Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne), we’re here to help you keep your vehicle in top condition and ensure it meets all safety standards.

Why Damaged Windscreens Fail Victoria’s RWC Safety Check

You have the right to choose who will service, maintain and repair your vehicle, at competitive prices, without voiding either the manufacturers warranty or your rights under the Consumer Guarantee.

You do not have to take your new car back to the dealership you bought it from for service or repairs. Provided the work is overseen to the manufacturers specifications by a suitably skilled person and uses tolerable quality parts and fluids, the warranty stands. 

With Repco Authorised Service you can tick all the boxes. Every Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) mechanic is fully qualified and Auto-Tech trained, giving them access to Australia's leading provider of automotive technical information and training. This means Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) mechanics are kept fully up to date with the latest in automotive service techniques and are able to service your new car without voiding the warranty.

Repco branded parts & products are manufactured to stringent Repco quality standards, and are covered by the Repco Nationwide Warranty, giving you added protection. Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) will also only ever use fluids and lubricants that meet the specifications of the original car manufacturer.

If you already own a new car or are thinking of purchasing one, make sure you clearly understand where your statutory rights begin and end

Make sure you are aware of the differences between manufacturer, statutory and extended warranties to avoid making the wrong selection when it comes to servicing your new car. You are automatically covered by a statutory warranty, also known as a Consumer Guarantee, under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and this statutory protection can never be superseded by manufacturer or express warranties (which are offered by the car maker and car dealer respectively).

A lack of disclosure requirements on car dealers at the point of sale regarding these contracts can easily lead the consumer into making a choice to be bound by a long term contract without access to all of the details needed to make a properly informed decision.

So when purchasing a new vehicle, be on guard for new car dealers who may try to include “express” or “extended” warranties, often for free. As a general rule these ‘extra' warranties may include quite comprehensive restrictions or provisions, and are not always what they are cracked up to be. Many times these promises provide no real additional benefits not already given by the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with the dealership that sold the car.

Such promises are very unlikely to focus on the potential negative aspects involved with taking a new car back to the dealer for service or repair. This includes how far you will need to go to get your car serviced or longer waiting times due to fewer available service locations or mechanics.

When it comes to keeping your vehicle safe and compliant on the roads of Victoria, understanding the minimum legal requirements for tyres is crucial. Tyres play a significant role in ensuring that your car is safe to drive and during a Roadworthy Inspection, they are scrutinised to meet specific standards. At Singh's Tyre and Auto Centre (Cranbourne) in Cranbourne West, we are committed to helping you understand these requirements and provide services to ensure your tyres are in top condition.

In Victoria, a vehicle must undergo a Roadworthy Inspection to ensure it meets safety standards before it can be sold or re-registered. One of the key components of this inspection is the condition of the tyres. Here are the basic legal requirements:

Tread Depth: The minimum legal tread depth for tyres in Victoria is 1.5mm. Adequate tread depth is crucial for proper traction, especially in wet conditions, to prevent skidding and accidents.

Tyre Condition: Tyres should be free of any damage such as cuts, cracks, or bulges. Damaged tyres can lead to blowouts and significantly increase the risk of accidents.

Matching Tyres: Vehicles must have matching tyres on the same axle. This ensures even wear and balanced handling, providing a smoother and safer ride.

Proper Inflation: Tyres should be properly inflated according to the manufacturer's specifications. Incorrect tyre pressure can affect vehicle handling and fuel efficiency.

Having roadworthy tyres is not just about passing an inspection; it’s about ensuring your safety and the safety of others on the road. Tyres are the only point of contact between your vehicle and the road, affecting steering, braking, and overall stability. Worn or damaged tyres compromise these crucial functions and increase the likelihood of road mishaps.
