Car Fix provides car maintenance services in St. John’s to keep your car safe and running. Our quality parts will meet or exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations.
MAINTENANCE INTERVALS
Most vehicles have regular maintenance intervals as well as similar recommended service items. Average intervals include 3 month or 5,000 kilometers for oil and filter service. Every 6 months or 10,000 kilometers we recommend oil and filter service, tire rotation, top off all fluids and overall inspection. For additional required service intervals, consult your owner’s manual. These intervals are continuous throughout a vehicles life.
Older vehicles or vehicles with high mileage normally require more frequent adjustments and replacement of wearing parts. These parts wear out during normal vehicle use and may need service or replacement in between regular service intervals. Normal wearing parts include:
- Brake pads
- Shoes
- Rotors
- Drums

- Drive belts
- Hoses
- Spark plugs

At the first sign of brake trouble, you need to take your vehicle to one of our certified brake specialists. We have experienced brake professionals who have the knowledge to answer specific questions about your vehicle’s breaking system.
THE BRAKES STOPPING YOUR CAR
Most cars on the road today use hydraulic braking systems, usually with disc brakes in the front and drum brakes in the rear. In either case, hydraulic pressure and friction causes your vehicle to stop.
TECHNOLOGY
Most of today’s vehicles are equipped with anti-lock brakes (ABS) that use sensors to monitor the speed of a turning wheel. If ABS determines the wheels are slowing down too fast and are about to lock up, ABS will cycle the hydraulic brake pressure to create a pumping action when the brake pad contacts the rotor surface.
