At TJP Auto & 4x4, we provide a variety of products and services, ensuring your vehicle has the best performance, suspension and overall driving experience. We value our customers and strive to deliver exceptional service with the most cost efficient and effective solutions. 

Because we value your safety and convenience, TJP Auto & 4x4 offers FREE suspension and brake checks!

The suspension of your vehicle is a system that combines the tyres, springs, shock absorbers, sway bars, links, and control arms to your vehicle. This system is built to keep the wheels firmly on the ground, maximising tyre contact, patch and traction. Some common suspension problems that can go unnoticed are wheel alignment issues, damaged or worn bushings, shock absorbers need replacing, or the wrong suspension component was installed.

TJP Auto & 4x4 consists of a team of skilled suspension and brake experts with access to the right tools and knowledge, ensuring your vehicle is safe and in perfect condition. 

 

The safety check and inspection process 

 

When your vehicle is being checked by our suspension experts, it will be systematically reviewed. This includes reviewing a variety of underbody suspension components such as bushes, control arms and sway bars. 

Your brakes and tyres will also be inspected to see if their condition is suitable or if they need a replacement.  

After completion of inspection, we will provide you with a detailed and thorough report outlining the state of your vehicle's suspension. Our technicians will then assist you to decide on the most cost efficient and effective solution regarding your vehicle’s maintenance.

Under Vehicle Component Inspection

Our technicians will carefully and intently check every individual suspension component found under your vehicle. Checking for wear and tear as well as any abnormalities. Suspension bushes and shock absorbers are the parts we often inspect and discover wear and tear. 

 

Brake and Wheel Inspection

After checking the under body suspension components, our TJP Auto technicians will check all your wheels and brakes. This ensures that your tyre treads have no excessive or uneven wear and that your brakes are in safe and working condition.  

The brake inspection consists of a visual examination of the brakes, including the inspection of the brake pads and determining the condition of the disks. Further inspection will involve a test drive being undertaken by our experienced technicians.

This allows us to test your handbrake and determine the conditions of your brakes.

We will also examine the brake cylinder to ensure there is no leakage which could impact the effectiveness of your braking system.  

With the request of the customer for a small charge $45 a more in depth inspection will be performed

if we deem it is required .

This inspection involves having the vehicle on the hoist with all 4 wheels removed. The condition of the drum, shoes, wheel cylinder and axle seals will then be examined. 

Hydraulic brake pressures at all 4 wheels and the rate of deceleration is reviewed to ensure it is of the legal limit. At TJP Auto & 4x4 , we ensure that your vehicle is inspected to extremely high standards from our team.
