Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even know there is a clutch in your vehicle. But without it, the gears in your car will not change. Foster Service Centre in Foster know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below. What is a clutch? The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to spin, but what happens when your car needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop spinning but the wheels need to. It's the clutch that allows this to happen. The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run. What is clutch fluid? Some vehicles have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. Leaking clutch fluid can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At Foster Service Centre in Foster we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you in the course of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection - which you can request as part of every car service.
 What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing You should have your clutch looked at if: You notice a burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle Your vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason There is jerky or sticky gear operation Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it could mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine. The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is contact us at Foster Service Centre today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Foster workshop.

Importance of Preventative Car Maintenance At Foster Service Centre in Foster, VIC we understand that life is busy, and cost of living pressures can make regular car servicing feel like an expense you’d rather avoid. However, delaying your car’s service is not cost effective—it’s a false economy. Preventative car maintenance ensures your vehicle remains safe, reliable, and efficient. Neglecting regular servicing can lead to costly repairs, breakdowns, and even compromised safety. Let’s take a closer look at why staying on top of your car’s maintenance is so essential. Risks of Delaying Car Servicing Delaying car servicing may seem like a way to save money in the short term, but the risks and eventual costs far outweigh any immediate savings. At Foster Service Centre, we’re seeing more vehicles coming in overdue for servicing with serious issues, such as:

Worn Brake Pads: Delayed servicing often results in brake pads wearing down to the rotors. Not only does this make your vehicle unsafe, but it can also lead to costly rotor replacements.

Tyre Damage: Driving on tyres with exposed wires or severely worn treads compromises your vehicle’s handling and safety. Replacing tyres earlier can avoid dangerous blowouts and potential accidents.

Low Fluid Levels: Undetected leaks or prolonged neglect can leave your car with dangerously low levels of critical fluids, such as engine oil, coolant, or brake fluid. These fluids are essential to maintaining proper function and preventing system failures.

In each of these cases, what might have been a small, affordable fix becomes a significant and expensive repair. Moreover, ignoring these issues can accelerate the wear and tear on other components, shortening the lifespan of your vehicle. Benefits of Preventative Maintenance Preventative car maintenance goes beyond a simple oil change. A comprehensive service at Foster Service Centre in Foster includes a detailed safety inspection, ensuring every part of your vehicle is in good working condition. Here are just a few of the benefits:

Early Detection of Issues: Small problems like a leaking gasket or a worn belt can be repaired before they cause more extensive and costly damage.

Enhanced Safety: Regular servicing ensures that critical components such as brakes, tyres, and steering systems are functioning properly, keeping you and your passengers safe.

Improved Longevity: Preventative maintenance protects your vehicle’s engine, transmission, and other systems from unnecessary wear and tear, ultimately extending the life of your car.

Increased Fuel Efficiency: A well-maintained vehicle runs more efficiently, saving you money on fuel in the long run. Log Book Servicing and Warranty Preservation For newer vehicles, keeping up with log book servicing is not just a good idea—it’s essential. Regular servicing as outlined in your car’s log book ensures that your new car warranty remains valid, protecting your investment. At Foster Service Centre, our qualified mechanics are fully equipped to perform log book servicing to manufacturer standards, giving you peace of mind and keeping your vehicle in premium condition.
