A service is a check-up, not just an oil change.

We drain the old oil, fit a new oil filter, top up the fluids, and then go over the vehicle properly — brakes, tyres, belts, hoses, battery, lights and suspension.

You get told what we found, what needs doing now, and what can wait until next time. Nothing gets replaced without your say-so.

Most vehicles want a service every 10,000 kilometres or every six to twelve months. Diesels, turbos and older engines usually want it sooner.

What is included

Signs to watch for

Time for a service when.

If any of these sound familiar, bring the vehicle in and we will take a look.

You are past the kilometres

If the sticker or the service book says you are due, you are due. Oil stops protecting the engine.

The oil looks black

Clean oil is honey coloured. Thick black oil means it has been in there too long.

It has been a year

Even low-kilometre cars need the oil out annually. Short trips are hard on an engine.

Other services

While it is here.

WOF Inspections

Warrant of Fitness checks while you wait, with a clear explanation of anything that fails and a straight answer on what it takes to pass.

Mechanical Repairs

Engine, cooling, transmission and clutch work on all makes and models. We tell you what needs doing now and what can wait.

Brakes

Pads, discs, drums and brake fluid. If your brakes squeal, shudder or feel soft, bring it in for a free check.

Need a WOF or a service this week.

Call the workshop and we will tell you straight away when we can take your vehicle. Or send a booking request and we will come back to you.
