We offer a full range of automotive services.

If you do not see it below, just give a call and we can talk you through how we can help you enjoy safe and trouble-free motoring

Alignments

Alignments

We road test vehicle to check for any steering or suspension problems. Connect all four wheels to our computerised wheel alignment machine, inspect all steering and suspension related items to identify any parts, adjust toe camber and castor settings to manufactures specifications. Road test to ensure vehicle steers correctly.

This work helps reduce tyre wear, improper alignment is a major cause of premature tyre wear. Better fuel economy, fuel economy increases as rolling resistance decreases. Improved handling and reduced driver fatigue are benefits of correctly aligned wheels.

Safer driving, a suspension system inspection is part of our alignment procedure, this allows us to identify worn parts before they cause costly problems.

Balancing

Balancing

We remove the wheels from the vehicle, fit the wheel to our computerised wheel balancer and add weights to compensate for any imbalance.

Out of balance wheels cause a shimmy, usually at 90-100kph

Punctures

Punctures

We remove the wheel from the vehicle, remove the tyre from the rim, inspect the tyre inside and out for damage, repair the damage using approved vulcanised patches, refit the tyre, balance the wheel and refit to the vehicle.

Under inflated tyres can cause drastic instability in the vehicles handling. Under inflation caused by a leak will cause a tyre to overheat causing irreparable damage to the tyre resulting in the tyre having to be replaced.

Tyres

Tyres

Whatever you need in the way of tyres, we can obtain them, usually overnight.

We carry an extensive range of car tyres, 4×4 tyres, van tyres and commercial tyres.

We supply most brands  – if you need a tyre we can supply it.

Plus, as we’ve been in the business for over forty years.

We’ve got a fair bit of experience in finding just the right tyres to meet your individual needs. Whatever you need to know about tyres, ask us. We’re happy to help.

Brakes

Brakes

We remove all wheels, inspect the condition and wear of brake pads and shoes and wheel cylinders for fluid leaks. Clean and adjust shoes and handbrake travel where applicable.

Brake pads and shoes wear with each brake application.  Fluid seals can leak, causing reduction in performance and contamination of the brake shoes.  By checking regularly we can avoid expensive repairs to the brake rotors and drums. We recommend a brake check every 20,000kms.

CV Boots

CV Boots

We test the CV joints to ascertain whether the CV joint is damaged. Remove wheels and hubs, replace either the CV boot and or the CV joint as required – inspect the other.

If the vehicle is serviced regularly, CV joint replacement can usually be avoided, we inspect the CV boot condition at each service and if the boot is replaced before, the grease gets thrown out of the joint and water and dirt does not get into the joint and destroy the bearings, joint replacement is avoided.

Suspension

Suspension

We carry out all repairs from minor bushes to major suspension replacement. We can also offer an electronic shock test and report (conditions apply).

Damage to shocks is usually as a result of wear and tear or accident damage.

Mechanical

Mechanical

We offer a full range of mechanical services for all vehichles. Call to discuss your specific needs.

We recommend a lube service every 10,000kms or 12 months whichever comes first. Oil degrades over time and with use, once it degrades, parts become worn leading to premature failure of the engine. Our 40 point check is the most comprehensive available and ensures all important mechanical items are checked. If we find any items requiring attention we inform you and on your authority only, carry out the repairs as needed.

Batteries

Batteries

There’s nothing worse than being caught out with a flat battery.

You can easily avoid this - just bring your car in for a free battery test.

Fluid Check

Fluid Check

We drain and reverse flush all the old coolant from the radiator, engine and heater. Clean the header tank, refill the system with the correct mix of antifreeze/ rust inhibitor. Run the engine to operating temperature, bleed all air from the system, ensure correct fan operation and check for leaks.

Modern engines are made of various metals which will react with each other causing corrosion.  To neutralize this reaction we add corrosion inhibitors which also act as antifreeze protection in frosty weather.

Oil Change

Oil Change

Oil degrades over time and with use, once it degrades parts become worn leading to premature failure of the engine.  Note that short running is more detrimental than longer trips as contaminants do not get burnt off.

Mufflers

Mufflers

Wheels

Wheels

We remove the wheels from the vehicle, fit the wheel to our computerised wheel balancer and add weights to compensate for any imbalance.
