Service Plus Auto Care are qualified to perform a wide range of brake services and repairs using quality parts, all covered by our nationwide warranty.

We can't stress enough how important it is to have clean Brake Fluid.

The fluid attracts and holds moisture which limits braking efficiency, increases the corrosion of brake system components and can possibly lead to total brake failure.

Clean brake fluid not only protects your safety it also prolongs the life of your braking system components by preventing corrosion.

Cost of a brake fluid flush changes according to vehicle type, and if there is additional repairs or maintenance required to complete the task. While your vehicle is on the hoist, for your safety we will also check the calipers, wheel cylinders, brake hoses, brake lines, and master cylinder for any faults or signs of wear that need to be addressed and advise you if necessary.

If you would like to know costs - give our friendly staff a call to discuss your car and get a quote. If during the procedure we do notice something that needs extra attention that will affect our quote we will always call you to confirm before proceeding.

We put the car up on the hoist and take off the wheels, the next step is removing the existing fluid from the master cylinder. We fill it back up with fresh new, quality brake fluid of the correct type. Next, each brake is allowed to 'bleed' out and the new fluid flushes through the system, completely replacing the old. We will also check over the brake system for any signs of damage or wear that needs attention and advise you if necessary.

A brake fluid flush can be done as part of a scheduled service - but sometimes we might advise you need one outside of a regular schedule if we feel it's necessary. We are always happy to discuss the reasons why with you.

My brake fluid looks clean - why are you suggesting a flush?

While your brake fluid might look pretty clean to you - that doesn't mean it's not dangerous. If the brake fluid contains water, its not always noticeable, but it still could cause the fluid to boil. Boiling fluid can cause loss of braking pressure or even sudden and unexpected brake failure. A visual inspection won't necessarily highlight if there is dangerous amounts of water in your brake fluid, only a professional boiling point test can tell you this.

How regular should I have my brake fluid changed?

Every two years is the standard recommendation, there should be information in your vehicles manufacturers log book - its important to keep in mind these are recommendations and so it is important to evaluate the condition of your brake fluid on a regular basis.

When it comes to brake safety - we don't stop - so you do when you need to.

At Service Plus Auto Care we offer a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report, upon request, with every full car service which includes a written review of your brake fluid, master cylinder, front and back discs and pads, calipers and cylinders and more. This report lets you know if there is immediate or future need for repairs to your vehicle allowing you to be safe and budget in advance.

Premium petrol is always best right? Wrong!

Tired of watching the bowser click over every time you refuel? Tired of watching the bowser click over? Did you know by filling up with the correct fuel for your car you can save money and possibly extend the life of your car?

Petrol is graded using the Research Octane Number or RON such as 91, 95, 98, 100 or even 103. The RON number rates the fuels resistance to ‘pre-ignition' or firing before it should due to heat from the engine.

Is a higher grade fuel better for my car?

A lower number doesn't mean lower quality - the number determines how much heat and pressure the fuel can resist before it detonates. Lower grade fuels detonate at lower heat and pressure than higher grades.

Why does it matter what grade of fuel I use?

Petrol engines work by igniting a mix of petrol and air using a spark from a spark plug. If the ignition happens before the spark plug fires it creates a condition called “knock,” which can damage a motor and reduce power.

Knocking is the sound made as the mix of fuel and air is detonating too early rather than burning smoothly for fuel - which means you aren't getting the full performance from your car..

How do I know what grade of petrol to use in my car?

To find out the best fuel for your car, read your car's manual or check the label on the inside of the fuel filler door. Generally high octane fuels are required by cars with performance engines or that are turbocharged.

Remember, putting premium petrol in a car that doesn't actually need it will not make your car faster or run cleaner, it will just drain your bank account that much faster!

If your car is making any kind of knocking noise you should contact Service Plus Auto Care in Victoria Point today.

Worried about the high fuel prices? Service Plus Auto Care in Victoria Point share this guide to help you choose the right fuel for your petrol engine to save money and extend the lifespan of your car. Read our ultimate guide now!

Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Victoria Point

You never want to find yourself broken down on the freeway with steam pouring out from under the hood.

Whilst HOT Weather can cause cars to overheat, it isn't the only cause. Your engine produces a lot of extreme heat and it's the radiator and cooling system that works hard to prevent your car from being damaged by all that heat. There is special fluid called coolant in your cooling system that also prevents liquids from freezing and protects the system from corrosion as well.

As well as an overheating car, a temperature gauge that's reading hotter than normal or a car leaving puddles behind means it is time to have your cooling system checked out.

So if your car is showing these signs come and see the team at Service Plus Auto Care.

And we can perform a well deserved service on your radiator and cooling system. Our expert technicians will flush your radiator, using a solution that removes build up. Once the cooling system is clean, the cleaner is drained and new coolant added, your car's cooling system will be running like a dream: a radiator flush might be just what your car needs to bring it back to peak performance.

What are the benefits of a radiator flush.

Your radiator will be more efficient - and it will last a lot longer. Your engine will be more efficient and have an increased life expectancy. Boost your vehicles performance and power. The water pump will last longer due to better protection and lubrication.

How often should I get a coolant system flush?

Your car's log book provides an outline for how often your radiator should be flushed, It is generally suggested that you flush your coolant system every two years or 40,000 km's depending on which comes first. However, the size of your engine, regional weather, the condition of your existing coolant, and the total km's driven can all have an effect on how often you should replace the coolant in your radiator.

At Service Plus Auto Care, we offer a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report for free as part of any minor, major or log book service on your vehicle. This includes inspecting the level and condition of coolant in your system and the written report will tell you if we feel a radiator flush, coolant replacement or any repairs are recommended to maintain the safety and performance of your vehicle.

What happens if I don't get a radiator flush or service?

Eventually rust and scale deposits build up and the whole system becomes clogged and it stops being effective at cooling and protecting your car. This build up of rust and debris can damage components of your cooling system including your water pump, radiator, hoses and thermostat, affecting the lifespan of those parts and leading to expensive repairs or replacements in the future.

While there are many websites and how to's offering advice on how to flush a radiator yourself - it's not something we would advise you to do. Modern vehicles can be complex and mistakes like incomplete flushing or changing the coolant in your vehicle without flushing can cause more particles to move around and cause blockages in your thermostat or radiator. It's best to have your systems examined regularly by a qualified mechanic, and properly flushed before being refilled with the specific type of coolant for your car, the system purged of any air pockets, and then the whole system expertly tested again to ensure full working order and to prevent any costly breakdowns in the future. Radiator coolant is toxic and needs to be handled very carefully. It has a sweet smell which can be attractive to children and pets so proper storage is very important - having a trained technician handle this task for you means not handling or having dangerous chemicals around your house. Dangerous coolant also needs to be disposed of in the proper manner, professional workshops can have the coolant recycled or properly disposed of to save the environment.

If your car’s dragging its feet on a crisp Victoria Point morning, your battery might be the reason. Whether it’s a slow crank, flickering lights, or a total no-start, your battery could be sending out its final warning.

At Service Plus Auto Care, we’re here to take the guesswork out of the equation. We offer fast, reliable battery testing and replacements to keep you moving—whether it’s the school run, the commute, or a weekend drive down the coast.

Throw in Queensland’s humid summers and stop-start local traffic, and it’s no surprise that winter mornings are when many batteries finally give out.

Why Batteries Fail When the Weather Cools

Before your car refuses to start altogether, keep an eye out for these signs:

Engine is slow to crank or struggles to start

Headlights dim or flicker, especially when starting

Battery or warning light glowing on the dash

Electrical features (windows, radio, central locking) behaving oddly

When you bring your car to us for a battery check, we’ll give you a straight answer, not a sales pitch:

Inspection of terminals, cables and mounting for damage or corrosion

Honest advice from qualified Redlands mechanics

Same-day replacement using trusted, long-lasting battery brands—if needed

We stock batteries that are built for Queensland conditions and back them with quality service and local support.

Whether you're running errands around Victoria Point or planning a longer drive, don’t wait for your battery to let you down. Drop in to Service Plus Auto Care for a quick battery check—we’ll make sure your vehicle starts when you need it most.
