Are you noticing that your car is becoming unsteady while turning corners or failing to stop as quickly as before? A Safe-T-Stop test will help identify any potential problems with your brakes or suspension. 

Here at Hicks Automotive & Exhaust Centre in Lithgow, we take your safety seriously, which is why we have invested in a sophisticated Safe-T-Stop testing machine and are proud to be an approved Safe-T-Stop Testing Centre

By choosing to trust your family's safety to a Safe-T-Stop test, you can be assured of receiving an extra inspection, which goes far beyond a simple check and road test to provide an accurate and precise evaluation of your vehicle's braking performance. 

This is made possible through the PlateTronic test equipment, which measures and simulates brake performance under actual emergency stopping conditions.

Along with the added security of knowing that your vehicle will come to a stop quickly and safely in the event of an emergency, having a well-maintained braking and suspension system will also save you money due to the reduction in tyre drag and wear, which in turn leads to lower fuel consumption. 

After the Safe-T-Stop check, you will be provided with a detailed printed report to enable our certified technicians to make any necessary adjustments.

Your vehicle has a number of different filters and each one works in a different system in your car. Hicks Automotive & Exhaust Centre knows those systems inside and out. For servicing in Lithgow and surrounding suburbs you can count on us.

Quite simply- a filter traps particles which should not be present in, or could do damage to, the system which it filters. Therefore all filters have a lifespan - once they get congested with the particles they are filtering - replacement is a must. Not replacing filters in your car when they need to be changed can lead to expensive breakdowns in some very important parts of your vehicle.

Oil Filter: Cleans the oil and allows it to flow through the engine better
Air Filter: Traps dirt particles which could damage cylinders, walls and pistons
Cabin Air Filter: Keeps pollen, dust and bacteria out of the ventilation system
Fuel Filter: Filters harmful contaminants which could do damage to carburettors or fuel injectors

Types of Filters in your vehicle include:

At Hicks Automotive & Exhaust Centre we provide a full 65 point vehicle inspection report upon request with every full car service. This includes a check of your cars filters to help avoid expensive breakdowns in the future.
