Our on-site brake lathe is an incredibly efficient tool for keeping brake rotors in top-notch condition. At Clare Auto, this state-of-the-art equipment offers a trustworthy way to ensure brake rotors are precisely machined. By shaving a thin layer off the rotor's surface, the lathe restores a clean, flat area crucial for peak braking performance. This exact process maximises brake pad contact, thereby boosting the overall effectiveness of the braking system.

At Clare Auto in Clare, our brake lathe provides an economical option for brake rotor care. Instead of facing the cost of rotor replacements, clients can take advantage of machining that refreshes the surface and lessens noise-inducing vibrations. This service not only improves vehicle performance but also prolongs the lifespan of the brake system, ensuring road safety and dependability.

Beyond the financial benefits, employing a brake lathe also supports the environmental efforts at Clare Auto. By choosing to machine existing rotors instead of replacing them, fewer materials are discarded, which cuts down waste and the need for new parts. This method aligns with a more sustainable approach to automotive care, highlighting Clare Auto's commitment to responsible service.

For those living in Clare, we offer a fantastic option for vehicle maintenance with our brake lathe. This technology not only delivers the highest standards of brake performance but also does so at a fraction of the cost of new parts.

Comprehensive Car Servicing in Clare – Expert Care from Clare Auto

Brake fluid transfers the pressure you put on the brake pedal through to the actual brakes.
Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work. As everyone knows - not having brakes is a huge problem! In fact even slightly affected brakes are very dangerous.


Brake fluid absorbs moisture very easily. Brake fluids are also subject to very high temperatures and so they are designed to have a high boiling point to stop them from boiling and evaporating- when brake fluid has accumulated too much moisture- this lowers its boiling point and it can boil off more easily causing low levels. Low levels of brake fluid affect your braking performance and could mean your car will fail to stop.
Brake Fluid that has absorbed too much moisture will also shorten the life of your braking system including damaging the callipers, wheel cylinders and anti-lock braking systems.

Why is brake fluid replacement necessary?

Your manufacturer's log book will advise how regularly your brake fluid should be changed or flushed, we recommend a drain and replacement every two years however it is wise to have it regularly checked by an expert at every service to make sure the levels are not reducing too fast (a sign of a leak) or that the moisture levels have not reached a point that could be damaging your system.

How often should I replace my brake fluid?

At Clare Auto 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, callipers and cylinders and more. This inspection helps to identify any issues in your vehicle which should be addressed and our mechanics will certainly advise you if they feel your vehicle might need a brake fluid replacement, or an out of schedule brake system service or repairs.

Do you check the brake fluids during a car service?

Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work.

Brake fluid - what is it and why do I need it? 

When it comes to brakes, you should never wait until brake repairs are necessary.  

Proper testing and routine checkups, such as our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection which we provide with all full car services, are important to ensure your vehicle's brake system is in top condition.
