At Kropps Mechanical, your safety is our top priority. That’s why we offer the advanced Safe-T-Stop inspection—a precision testing system that gives you real, measurable insights into your vehicle’s braking performance, wheel alignment, suspension, and tyre wear.
Unlike a visual check, a Safe-T-Stop test measures how your car actually behaves on the road—how straight it stops, how balanced the brakes are, and how effective your suspension and tyres really are.
A Safe-T-Stop inspection uses electronic sensors and specialised equipment to simulate an emergency stop and collect data on your car’s safety systems. In just minutes, we can generate a detailed report showing:
Brake performance at each wheel
Front-to-rear brake balance
Handbrake efficiency
Suspension performance and bounce test
Tyre wear and alignment issues
Overall braking effectiveness and stopping distance
This test goes far beyond the basic roadworthy or logbook inspection and gives you peace of mind that your car will stop quickly and safely when it matters most.
Braking, suspension, and alignment all work together to keep your car safe and predictable on the road. If any of these systems are out of balance—even slightly—it can affect stopping distances, tyre wear, fuel economy, and vehicle handling.
A Safe-T-Stop inspection helps you:
Ensure your brakes stop straight and evenly
Detect uneven tyre wear or alignment problems early
Improve fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance
Confirm your suspension is working properly
Avoid costly repairs through early fault detection
Drive with confidence, knowing your vehicle meets safety standards
We recommend a Safe-T-Stop inspection if:
Your car pulls to one side when braking
You feel vibration or softness in the brake pedal
You’re experiencing uneven tyre wear
You’ve recently had new tyres, brakes, or suspension parts fitted
You’re preparing for a road trip or long-distance travel
It’s been over 12 months since your last brake system check
We also include a Safe-T-Stop test as part of many major services and brake repairs at Kropps Mechanical, so you get real performance data—not guesswork.
Don’t wait until it’s too late to find out your brakes aren’t performing as they should. Contact Kropps Mechanical today to book your Safe-T-Stop inspection and receive a printed report of your vehicle’s safety performance.
