• Service Products
  • It is imperative that when your vehicle has an oil change the correct oil is used, with the modern engine of today issues are arising with service centres using incorrect oils, whist this may save money, initially, there has been documented issues that have arisen, costing workshops several thousands of dollars. The minim issue is that your vehicle may use more fuel or in some circumstances up to complete engine and transmission rebuilds have been required. One of the issues is the introduction of Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) another is hours and hours of diagnostics in a tune issue only to find that the incorrect oil had been used on a previous service. You can be assured that we will always ensure that the correct oil is used.
    
    Note, issues may not appear immediately, can sometimes take up to 30,000 km or two service intervals or more, before any signs of issues, so in some cases it will be out of the previous repairers warranty.
• Electronic Engine Tuning
  • Car tuning is an essential part of your car's health, because engine tuning determines what performance and efficiency you get out of your motoring dollar. A properly tuned vehicle will reduce fuel consumption & pollution.
    
    The symptoms that your car is due for car tuning may include excessive use of fuel, the engine may be 'missing' or stalling or even a mysterious red light appearing on your dash.
• Brake Repairs
  • Wof repairs, Noisy brakes, wear and tear are just a few of the complaints we here, when work is required. Disc machining is required to ensure less chance of unwanted noises in the future when brake pads are being replaced, Quality pads should only be used brand such as Bendix should be used or in some cases Genuine original parts should be used we are experienced enough to advise should this be the case. Brake fluid should be changed ant same time as any brake repair as well as periodically to ensure no brake fade at the critical time.
• Suspension Repairs
  • Noise, uneven tyre wear and wof failures are some complaints we here when suspension requires repair. Suspension is the part between your wheels and the car body, it's like a cushion keeping the ride smooth and safe.
• Transmission Servicing Automatic
  • Transmission flushing and servicing are two of the similar terms, but are very different, A flush is a complete oil change, normally done by a machine, Transmission service is the dismantling partly of the transmission i.e removal of the pan/sump replacement of filter and in some cases adjustments are done then replace only the oil has been spent. So a good option is to get both.
• Clutch and Gearbox Repairs
  • In a car, you need a clutch because the engine spins all the time, but the car's wheels do not. In order for a car to stop without stalling the engine, the wheels need to be disconnected from the engine somehow. The clutch allows us to smoothly engage a spinning engine to a non-spinning transmission by controlling the slippage between them.
    
    Cars need gearboxes because of the physics of the petrol engine. Any engine has a redline -- a maximum rpm value above which the engine cannot go without exploding. The Gearbox allows the gear ratio between the engine and the drive wheels to change as the car speeds up and slows down. You shift gears so the engine can stay below the redline and near the rpm band of its best performance. Most complaints are grinding on selecting gear even when the clutch is pressed, Noise when driving.
• Diagnostics Scanning
  • The misconception in the retail arena is we can plug in a computer (Scanner) and the fault with your vehicle will appear on the screen and hey presto it's fixed, it is not the case, it will help however to reduce the diagnostic time taken in most cases if the technician knows what he is doing.
