Logbook Servicing
When buying a new vehicle, the warranty that comes with it protects you from surprise costs incurred by faults with the vehicle’s manufacture. To maintain this protection for as long as possible, you will need to have your vehicle brought to a reputable workshop for regularly scheduled servicing.
We can provide logbook servicing for all makes and models of petrol, diesel, electric and hybris vehicles, giving you both advanced warning of any developing mechanical issues, and the peace of mind of an intact warranty.
Vehicle Inspections
When buying a secondhand vehicle, in many cases a price that seems too good to be true often is just that. The owner might be trying to hide mechanical problems until money changes hands, at which point they become your problems. Before you part ways with your money, arrange for the vehicle to undergo a pre-purchase inspection, so you can rest assured you’re getting what you paid for.
We can also conduct pre-trip inspections on your vehicle, so you can set off on that long drive in confidence.
Brake Repairs
Your brakes are one of your vehicle’s most important safety features, possibly making the difference between an emergency stop and an expensive trip to the smash repairer. Your brakes will wear out over time, making regular checks of your brakes’ effectiveness important to your safety on the road.
We provide customers with a comprehensive range of brake repairs and services, from checks of your brake lines for faults that may hamper your stopping power to a range of replacement brake pads, discs and drums.
Suspension & Steering
Your vehicle’s steering and suspension systems can be compromised by wear and tear, resulting in body roll, play in the steering wheel, and other symptoms that affect your vehicle’s handling and ride comfort.
We can provide replacement car springs, shock absorbers and bushes to keep your suspension responsive, as well as conduct repairs to your power steering system to ensure your vehicle tracks smoothly on the road.
Clutch & Transmission
Your vehicle’s transmission is a piece of precision engineering, and problems here can quickly deteriorate into expensive repairs if not found sooner rather than later.
We can conduct servicing and repairs for all makes and models of transmission, including replacement manual and automatic transmission units.
Engine Repairs
Your vehicle’s engine is its beating heart; any problems here will have a toll on your vehicle’s performance and fuel efficiency.
We have a range of services to help keep your engine in good shape, from testing, rebuilds and reconditioning to repairs for your vehicle’s engine block, cylinder heads and camshaft. We can also conduct EFI diagnostics to optimise the way your vehicle uses fuel.
Radiators & Cooling Systems
An overheating engine can severely affect your vehicle, potentially even leaving you broken down and stranded. If you suspect your vehicle’s overheating, pull over immediately and give us a call to arrange a cooling system check.
We will check your vehicle’s cooling systems for problems, including pressure tests to find radiator unit leaks to coolant flushes to clear out internal blockages. We can also replace faulty radiator units, heater units, thermostats and head gaskets.
Air Conditioning
Driving in Australia’s warmer months can be made unbearable without a properly functioning air conditioning system. Leaks and cracks that develop over the cooler months can sap your system of the refrigerant gases it needs to keep you cool in the summer.
At Yarra Valley Service Centre we’re equipped to thoroughly check your air con for leaks, and will re-gas your system once it’s airtight in accordance with ARC regulations.
