Our in house brake lathe is a highly effective tool for maintaining brake rotors in excellent condition. Utilised by MIT Automotive in Fyshwick, this advanced equipment provides a reliable method for ensuring that the brake rotors are perfectly machined. By removing a thin layer from the rotor's surface, the lathe restores a clean, flat surface, essential for optimal braking performance. This precise machining is critical for maximising brake pad contact, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the braking system.

At MIT Automotive in Fyshwick, we offer a cost-effective solution for brake rotor maintenance. Instead of incurring the expense of replacing the rotors, customers can benefit from machining that renews the surface and reduces unwanted noise-producing vibrations. This service not only enhances vehicle performance but also extends the life of the brake system, ensuring safety and reliability on the road.

In addition to the economic advantages, using our brake lathe also contributes to the environmental sustainability efforts at MIT Automotive. By opting to machine the existing rotors rather than replace them, fewer materials are discarded, which reduces waste and the demand for new parts. This approach aligns with a more sustainable automotive maintenance practice, reflecting the commitment of MIT Automotive to responsible service offerings.

For residents and vehicle owners in Fyshwick, MIT Automotive provides an excellent solution for maintaining your vehicles brake system. This technology not only ensures the highest standards of brake performance but also does so at a fraction of the cost of new parts. By prioritising quality and efficiency, MIT Automotive continues to deliver superior service, keeping vehicles running safely and smoothly in Fyshwick.

Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Fyshwick

Do you drive an Automatic and Tow or do Off Road Driving? 
Do want to extend the life of your transmission? 
Have you thought about upgrading your transcooler? 

As a diesel or petrol 4WD vehicle owner, understanding how a transmission cooler works can be invaluable for maintaining the longevity and performance of your vehicle, especially if you use your car for heavy-duty tasks like towing or carrying heavy loads.

A transmission cooler is crucial for 4WD vehicles, particularly those subjected to heavy-duty use. Its primary function is to keep the transmission fluid cool. Transmission fluid plays a vital role in lubricating the moving parts inside your transmission, keeping it clean, and also helps in transferring power from the engine to the transmission. However, under heavy loads, the fluid can become very hot. If the temperature of the transmission fluid exceeds a certain threshold, it can lead to overheating, resulting in reduced efficiency, performance issues, and even significant damage over time.

1. Heat Generation: When your diesel vehicle is in operation, especially under stress like towing or carrying heavy payloads, the transmission generates heat. The transmission fluid absorbs this heat.

2. Fluid Circulation: The hot fluid is then pumped from the transmission to the cooler. The cooler is typically located in front of the vehicle's radiator to maximise airflow, though the exact position can vary.

3. Cooling Process: As the hot fluid flows through the cooler, the heat is transferred from the fluid to the cooler's fins. As your vehicle moves, air passes over these fins, dissipating the heat away from the fluid.

4. Return to Transmission: Once cooled, the fluid is circulated back into the transmission, ready to absorb more heat. This cycle continues as long as the vehicle is in operation, ensuring that the transmission operates within a safe temperature range.

There are mainly two types of transmission coolers:

1. Air-Cooled: This is the most common type, which relies on air flowing over fins to dissipate heat. It's simple and effective for most applications.

2. Liquid-Cooled (a.k.a. Hybrid or Combo Coolers): In some high-performance or very heavy-duty applications, a cooler might use the vehicle's coolant system in addition to airflow. This type provides additional cooling capacity for extreme conditions.

For 4WD vehicle owners, particularly those who frequently tow or carry heavy loads, maintaining an optimal transmission temperature is crucial. Overheating not only decreases performance but can also lead to costly repairs or transmission failure. By ensuring your transmission cooler is functioning properly, you're investing in the longevity and reliability of your vehicle.

In summary, a transmission cooler plays a critical role in your diesel vehicle's performance and durability, especially under demanding conditions. Keeping your transmission fluid cool helps prevent overheating, protecting your transmission from damage and ensuring your vehicle is ready for whatever tasks you throw at it.

Your vehicle has a number of different filters and each one works in a different system in your car. MIT Automotive knows those systems inside and out. For servicing in Fyshwick 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 MIT Automotive 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.
