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. Northlands Automotive in Balcatta 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 Northlands Automotive in Balcatta 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 Northlands Automotive today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Balcatta workshop.

The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation.

Free Wiper Blades (Valued Up to $50) With Every Service at Northlands Automotive Winter is no time to gamble with your safety on the road — especially in Balcatta, where early morning fog, heavy rain, and slippery conditions can quickly turn a routine trip into a risky drive. That’s why at Northlands Automotive, we’re offering a FREE set of wiper blades (valued up to $50) with every service completed between June and August. It’s our way of helping you drive safer and see clearer during the colder, wetter months. Why Wiper Blades Matter in Winter Worn-out wipers are more than an inconvenience — they’re a hazard. In winter, clear vision is essential. Whether you're navigating dark pre-dawn commutes or heavy rain on Mitchell Freeway, streaky or skipping wipers can severely reduce visibility. Replacing them as part of your winter check ensures your windscreen stays clear, giving you a much safer drive — and with this seasonal offer, you won’t pay a cent. Winter Checks That Keep You in Control Beyond wipers, your vehicle needs to be in top condition to handle the colder season. At Northlands Automotive, our experienced technicians conduct thorough inspections designed to identify wear and potential issues before they become major problems. We follow a detailed inspection process to make sure your car is prepared for everything winter can throw at it. Tyres and Brakes — Your Winter Driving Essentials Two of the most critical systems in wet weather are your tyres and brakes. They’re your car’s frontline defence when the roads get slippery. Tyres - Get a grip on the wet weather 
Tyres need to have plenty of tread depth and even wear to maintain good contact with the road. Low tread can lead to longer stopping distances, poor handling, and even aquaplaning on wet roads. We check the pressure, condition, and alignment of all tyres — including the spare — to make sure your car grips the road exactly as it should. Brakes - Stopping when it matters 
Brakes are just as vital. Cold temperatures, wet conditions, and slippery road surfaces all increase braking distance. That’s why our winter check includes a full inspection of your brake pads, rotors, fluid, and braking system response. If anything’s worn or underperforming, we’ll let you know — and fix it before it becomes a danger. Other Key Winter Checks - We also ensure your: Battery is strong enough to handle cold starts and increased electrical load Lights are bright, functioning, and properly aimed for dark, foggy mornings Cooling system and radiator are leak-free and working efficiently Heater and demister are performing as expected — crucial for clear windscreens Fluids, including brake, transmission, and coolant, are clean and at correct levels Windscreen and wiper mechanisms are free of cracks, chips, and smearing It’s all part of our comprehensive seasonal inspection — designed to give you peace of mind.
   Make Winter Driving Safer — and Get Something Free in the Process Booking a winter service with Northlands Automotive in Balcatta isn’t just about staying compliant — it’s about staying safe. And right now, with your free wiper blade replacement (valued up to $50), it’s also great value. Don't wait for something to go wrong during the wettest part of the year.

Easter Driving: Why Early Car Servicing Matters Easter is a season many of us look forward to, whether it’s for long weekend trips, family gatherings, or simply taking a break from our daily routines… However, as exciting as it may be, the weeks leading up to Easter can bring a surge in demand for car servicing and repairs. If you’re planning to hit the road this Easter, now is the perfect time to get ahead of the rush and book your car service at Northlands Automotive in Balcatta. Why the urgency? 
Many mechanical workshops experience a significant increase in bookings as the holiday approaches. With Easter being a busy time for travel, whether you’re heading out of town or just navigating Balcatta, ensuring your vehicle is in top condition is not only smart but essential for a safe and hassle-free journey. Why Regular Servicing is a Must for Easter Travel Servicing your car regularly isn’t just about ticking a box—it’s about making sure your vehicle stays reliable and safe, especially during peak travel times. Regular servicing helps identify and fix minor issues before they develop into costly or dangerous problems. Key mechanical tasks often undertaken during regular servicing include: Oil and filter changes: Keeping your engine clean and running efficiently Brake checks: Ensuring your braking system is responsive and safe, particularly critical for long drives or unexpected stops Tyre inspections: Checking tread, pressure, and alignment for optimal safety and fuel efficiency Battery health assessments: Making sure your car will start every time without fail Fluid top-ups and checks: Covering everything from coolant to windshield washer fluid Suspension and steering evaluations: To maintain stability and handling during your journey With these routine checks and adjustments, your car is better equipped to handle the demands of holiday driving—whether it’s cruising along highways, navigating city streets, or tackling winding country roads. Easter is Still a Little Way Off—So Why Book Now? While Easter may seem far away, it’s wise to plan ahead. Waiting until the last minute to service your car could leave you scrambling for an available workshop slot or worse—risking an unresolved issue that could disrupt your holiday plans. By booking early with Northlands Automotive, you secure your spot and give yourself peace of mind knowing your car will be road-ready when it matters most. For those planning long road trips, it’s especially important to have your vehicle thoroughly checked. Long hours of driving can put extra strain on key components like brakes, tires, and the engine. Even if you’re not venturing far from Balcatta, Easter weekend traffic and stop-start driving can take a toll. A properly serviced car is less likely to encounter breakdowns, saving you from unexpected delays and repair costs. School Holiday Driving in Balcatta: Keep Your Family Safe The Easter break often coincides with school holidays, meaning your car may also play a vital role in shuttling kids to and from activities. Regular servicing ensures your vehicle remains safe and reliable for everyday tasks as well as holiday adventures. Beyond the standard checks, consider specific services that can enhance your car’s performance and safety.
