Your car's braking and suspension systems play a crucial role in making sure that your car stops quickly and safely. 

Here at Matlin Auto Repairs in Richmond we take your safety very seriously. This is why we have invested in a state of the art Safe-T-Stop testing machine and we are an approved Safe-T-Stop Testing Centre. 

You can trust your family's safety to a Safe-T-Stop test. It provides a brake and suspension inspection that goes well beyond a common check and road test to check your cars' braking capacity and ensure maximum stopping performance.

No matter how experienced the mechanic is that conducts a simple road test, the outcome cannot compare to the level of accurate information provided by a proper test on the Safe-T-Stop testing lanes. A Safe-T-Stop check will give you an accurate and detailed printed report that will enable the qualified technicians at Matlin Auto Repairs to advise you on any critical adjustments or repairs that should be made to your brakes or suspension.

Along with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your car will stop straight and in the shortest possible distance in an emergency, having your braking and suspension system in peak operating condition can also save you money by minimising tyre drag and wear, which can increase petrol consumption.

Recently, Matlin Auto Repairs had the opportunity to wire up a Varex Exhaust System on a Kia Stinger GT.

We did this through a voltage sensing relay, allowing the muffler to only be powered up when the car is running. Giving you a switch between a nice sporty note or a quite ride.

Varex mufflers, allow for maximum control over the performance of your exhaust system. These mufflers feature an internal butterfly valve connected to a motor that can be opened or closed based on the driver's preference, controlling the amount of exhaust gases that pass through. By manipulating the valve, the amount of air passing through can be increased or decreased, ultimately enhancing the final performance of your exhaust system.

"My car broke down on the first day of school as I drove to pick up my little girl. It was 42 degrees hot, the aircon didn't work and the car made a scary rattle everytime I slowed down or stopped. I got my car to the most wonderful, honest, great bunch of people at Matlin Auto Repairs on South Road at Richmond. That's here in Adelaide, South Australia. Everything is always explained by Vince who is the sweetest, most helpful man. He doesn't take advantage of a woman's ignorance with motor vehicle problems either. Honest to the core! By lunch time Vince from Matlin Auto Repairs phoned to inform my car was fixed and ready to go - and it was a lot cheaper than I expected.
