Automatics

Most automatic transmissions fail due to overheating. This is usually a direct result of a lack of maintenance. By servicing your cars transmission at the specified intervals you will prolong the life of your automatic transmission. This is especially true if you have a four wheel drive and do a lot of towing. Another great way to extend the life of your auto transmission is to fit an external oil cooler. This will reduce the damaging effects of overheating and significantly add life to the transmission.

Cooling System

The cooling system keeps your engine at the right operating temperature. Components include the radiator, water pump, hoses and thermostat. Keeping your cooling system in good shape helps prevent costly breakdowns and will keep your vehicle reliable. It will also reduce premature engine wear and is important for good economy and exhaust emissions. Regular maintenance includes testing and changing of the coolant every two years.

C V Joints

Constant Velocity joints are found on front wheel and some rear wheel drive vehicles. CV joints allow power to be transmitted to the wheels of your vehicle under all conditions whether you're turning, going over bumps or in a straight line. CV joints need to be kept full of grease to make them last the distance. The CV Boot keeps your CV joints lubricated by holding the grease around the joint. These boots are prone to perishing and wear and require periodic replacement. Symptoms of a worn CV joint include a loud “clicking’ sound when turning and vibrations through the steering wheel

Shocks

A vehicle with defective shock absorbers can take as much as 2.6 metres extra to stop in an emergency, perhaps the difference between driving past an accident or being in one. Poor handling can put you and your family seriously at risk of having an accident. Shock absorbers are vital for positive steering and safe braking. They smooth out bumps, jolts and give stability for comfortable cruising at all speeds and the secure feeling of having all four wheels firmly on the ground. Symptoms of worn shock absorbers: 1. When your vehicle nosedives or dips forward badly when braking, 2. Your tyres may have developed bald patches, oil seeps from your shock absorbers and your vehicle feels unstable.

We’ll do a thorough pre-purchase inspection and give you a written report giving an accurate assessment of the cars condition. We’ll inform you of any items that are going to cost you money and because we’re doing it all the time we can give and indication of the cost.

We can carry out emission testing for petrol and diesel vehicles using state of the art diagnostic equipment. Components can fail at any time causing poor fuel efficiency and increased emissions. Testing is surprisingly easy, quick and inexpensive to find out how well your engine is running. Vehicles passing this test can be issued with a certificate of compliance that lasts for one year.
