Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of damaged vehicle suspension?
There are several signs that your vehicle suspension may be damaged. Some common indicators include:
- Uneven tyre wear
- Oily shock absorbers
- Unstable vehicle body
- Steering difficulty
- Feeling every bump in the road
How often should I get my brakes checked?
Many drivers usually get their brakes checked when they have their tyres rotated. Although there is no set time period, we recommend getting your brakes checked every six months to avoid any serious car accidents or repairs.
What happens if I drive with a bad exhaust?
Faulty exhausts are ineffective when it comes to siphoning exhaust fumes out of your engines and have a negative impact on your vehicle’s performance. Bad exhausts also cause your vehicle to produce higher emissions and can damage other internal components of your car if left unattended.
What are the common signs that my car battery is dying?
There are several signs that may signify your car battery is dying. Some of these include:
- The battery is leaking or corroded
- The battery warning light is on
- The battery case is bloated
- You’ve had the same battery for more than three years
- The engine takes a while to crank upon starting the vehicle
What are the benefits of disc and drum machining?
Disc and drum machining services allow you to save money when it comes to repairing your brakes. This is because you can avoid the cost of having to buy brand new discs or drums for your brakes. Skilled machinery is used to refurbish the disc and drums and negate the effects associated with unevenness, distortion or general wear and tear.
Why are my brakes making a grinding noise?
There are two primary reasons why your brakes may be making a grinding noise. The first is that the brake pads are significantly worn down. This causes metal-on-metal contact between the brake pads and the rotor disc. The grinding noise in this instance occurs as you put pressure on your brake pedal.

The other instance in which brakes may make a grinding noise is when debris ends up between the rotor disc and calliper. This causes a grinding noise to occur when the vehicle is in motion.

Finding a Reliable Mechanic
Finding a good car mechanic is like finding treasure—it takes patience and effort, but the reward is worth it. Once you’ve found one, you can trust them to save you money in the long run, provide peace of mind and take care of your investment. There are several things you can do to find the right mechanic for your needs.
Ask others and get reviews: Ask friends, family and co-workers for recommendations for a good, honest mechanic. Also, look online for reviews. It’s also a good idea to get reviews from people who have the same kind of car you have. At Hervey Bay Brake & Exhaust, we’ve developed a strong reputation among local car owners for our continual quality service.
Make sure they communicate well: It’s important that your mechanic has good communication skills. This is because you want them to be able to explain what’s going on with your vehicle clearly. Honest communication is key to ensuring you get the best service and know why you need certain things done to your vehicle. You can expect the mechanics at Hervey Bay Brake & Exhaust to answer your questions promptly.
Consider their location: It’s best to find a mechanic located near your work or your home. This is especially true if you can’t access a courtesy car while your vehicle is being worked on. The location should not be the only factor, though. It’s no good to choose a nearby mechanic who isn’t reliable, qualified and honest. At Hervey Bay Brake & Exhaust, we pride ourselves on ticking all the right boxes and offer courtesy cars to ensure minimal disruption to your daily schedule.
