We like to think that we do the best we can within the budgets allowed, to ensure that your vehicle is in the best possible condition for it to be reliable for you.

Servicing

Servicing is an essential part of your vehicle engines life. Servicing your vehicle at regular intervals ensures that your engine is kept in the best condition, making it more reliable and efficient for you.

All vehicles have a manufacture specified service schedule. This is based on time and KM the vehicle has done and what maintenance should be carried out at each service interval.

While we follow our Mitsubishi Service Schedule for our Mitsubishi Vehicles, we will carry out our standard servicing as below for other makes of vehicles.

Our standard services include; An engine flush followed by engine oil and oil filter change, air filter check, cabin filter check, windscreen washer additive and top up of water. Checking over our multi-inspection sheet and reporting future or immediate repairs recommended.

Additional servicing can be added to your service if enquired about when your booking is made. Such things as; fuel filter replacement, air filter replacement, cabin filter replacement, spark plugs, transmission fluids, diff oils, coolant flush.

Cooling Systems

The cooling system in your vehicle has multiple components to it.

Engine cooling system is made up of the following parts and systems. We are able to test, repair and/or replace all of the below:

Radiator / Radiator fans / Hoses / Thermostat / Coolant / Intercooler / Oil Cooler / Water-Pump

Your radiator needs good air flow coming in from the front of the vehicle. If not checked, the front of the radiator can become blocked or covered with debri. This can lead to the radiator not being able to cool properly.

Over time these parts can all become weak, brittle or can be damaged from outside causes. Regularly keeping an eye on these is important and can prevent expensive repairs if maintained. We are able to pressure test the engine cooling system in your vehicle to check for leaks. We are also able to carry out coolant flushes. This is washing out your coolant system and installing new coolant.

Mechanical Repairs

Mechanical Repairs is a large area to cover with vehicles. We can do all of it for you. Whether it be preventative repairs from recommendations based off a Warrant of Fitness or a Service or damage repairs from our harsh roads and rugged farming life.

Tyres and Steering

We are able to Supply, Fit and Balance Tyres at our workshop. Also to help aid your decision we are able to provide pricing and brand options for all vehicles.

Bulk purchasing for racing events is something that we are able look into with you.

Wheel Alignments can help your tyres perform properly and help them last longer. It can also improve handling and keep your vehicle from pulling in one direction or vibrating strangely on the road.

When carrying out a Wheel Alignment this tells us what the toe, camber and caster is of the wheel. On most vehicles these can be adjusted. In some vehicles extra shims need to be installed. The way the toe, camber and caster is set on your vehicle related to how your tyres contact the road.

Tuning

The ECU of most vehicles is mapped to cater to the middle ground, for drivers who ignore service schedules and use second rate fuel; it means your car is only working at 80% capacity. By remapping the ECU we are capable of delivering much more power, plenty more torque and more kms for your money. We’re not talking about small incremental changes here, a tuned vehicle can get as much as 40% increase in power in some instances.

Whether you want increased power, more torque, to smooth out your power curve across the rev range or simply fuel savings. All of this is done by working with, instead of against the original vehicle systems.

Emission Solutions

EGR SOLUTIONS

The EGR valve’s purpose is to open and close (normally electronically) at certain moments during different rev ranges, but these valves get clogged up with carbon deposits, which can make them fail, or even get blocked making them stuck altogether either open or closed.
Symptoms can vary from poor idling speed, knocking, loss of power, engine unresponsive, smoke from the exhaust pipe, and the engine management light coming on.

To help avoid this we can carry out a manifold clean

DPF SOLUTIONS

A vehicles DPF, also formally known as Diesel Particulate Filter is a particle filter which decreases the total amount of pollution emitted by diesel vehicles. DPF filters do this by filtering the solid particles which are found in the exhaust fumes. Over periods of time, the particle filter (DPF) fitted on diesel vehicles can become clogged and blocked by an accumulation of exhaust soot.

Generally a DPF will not fail on its own it is normally another system which has failed. It is important that diagnosing the cause of failure is thoroughly investigated before changes to the DPF are made.
