Your brakes are the single most important safety system in your vehicle. At Drive Doctor, Randburg’s trusted Car Hospital, we see too many cars arrive with dangerously worn brakes simply because the driver missed the early warning signs. Ignoring your brakes doesn’t just put you at risk – it endangers your passengers and everyone on the road.
Pro Tip: Brake fluid should be replaced every 2 years – old fluid absorbs moisture and reduces braking power.
Final Word: Don’t wait until it’s too late. Book your Brake Surgery at Drive Doctor today and restore your stopping power.
Most brake pads last between 30,000–50,000 km, but this depends on driving style and conditions. Have them checked at every service.
Squealing usually means your pads are worn down. Grinding indicates the pads are finished and the discs may be damaged.
Yes, if the discs are still within tolerance. However, warped or worn discs should be skimmed or replaced with the pads.
Your tyres are the only part of your vehicle in contact with the road. Poorly maintained tyres can cost you fuel, cause accidents, and even lead to fines if they fall below legal tread depth.
Final Word: Don’t take chances with your tyres. Book a Tyre Fitment & Care check-up at Drive Doctor today.
At least once a month, and always before long trips.
When tread depth is below 1.6mm, or if you notice cracks, bulges, or uneven wear.
Ideally, yes. But at minimum, tyres should be replaced in pairs (both front or both rear) for balance and safety.
Shocks aren’t just about comfort – they’re vital for safety. Worn shocks increase stopping distances and reduce control.
Final Word: Replace shocks in pairs for balanced handling. Book your Shock & Strut Rehabilitation at Drive Doctor today.
Typically 60,000–100,000 km depending on road conditions.
Excessive bouncing, nose-diving when braking, uneven tyre wear, and poor handling.
Yes — always replace both front or both rear shocks together to maintain stability.
Your suspension system keeps your car stable and comfortable, but many drivers only notice problems when it’s too late.
Pro Tip: Have your suspension checked every 20,000 km to avoid costly repairs.
Final Word: Book your Suspension Therapy at Drive Doctor and restore your car’s backbone.
Potholes, curb impacts, worn bushes, and normal wear over time.
Look for uneven tyre wear, knocking sounds, poor handling, or a car that leans to one side.
Every 20,000 km or if you notice changes in handling.
Skipping services may save money in the short term, but it leads to expensive breakdowns later.
Pro Tip: Service every 10,000–15,000 km or once a year.
Final Word: Book your Full Vehicle Check-Up at Drive Doctor today.
Every 10,000–15,000 km, or once a year — whichever comes first.

Final Word: Book Wheel Rim Surgery at Drive Doctor today.
Yes, most buckled rims can be straightened safely by professionals.
Yes, if done correctly with alloy welding — but only if the crack isn’t on the spoke or too severe.
Minor bends and scratches can be repaired. Severe cracks or structural damage may require replacement.
Your battery is your car’s heartbeat. Without it, you’re stranded.
Final Word: Book your Battery Health Check at Drive Doctor.
On average, 3–4 years depending on usage and climate.
Slow engine cranking, dim headlights, and electrical issues.
Sometimes, but if it’s old or damaged it should be replaced.
Your exhaust controls emissions, noise, and efficiency.
