Automotive Services
We offer a comprehensive suite of automotive services here at Andrew’s Autos, including, but not limited to:
Logbook Servicing
Whenever you purchase a brand new vehicle, the manufacturer provides you with a statutory warranty that covers the cost of parts failure. This warranty is only valid if you have your vehicle serviced as per the manufacturer’s recommendations. Andrews Autos’ fully certified mechanics can service, record and stamp the details in your vehicle’s logbook in accordance with these requirements.
Andrews Autos’ fully qualified mechanics can provide logbook services for:
- Petrol passenger vehicles
- Diesel passenger vehicles
- Electric/hybrid passenger vehicles
To book your next logbook service with us, please get in touch today!
Inspections
If you are planning on selling or otherwise transferring registration of a vehicle, you must acquire a Roadworthy Certificate, from a licensed tester who will complete a thorough inspection to ensure the vehicle meets minimum legal safety standards to be driven on Victorian roads.
When you are thinking about buying or selling a second-hand vehicle, it may be wise to obtain a pre-purchase inspection to disclose a general condition of the vehicle. The pre-purchase inspection exhaustively examines the vehicle from top to bottom, ensuring you know exactly what you are buying and avoid any nasty surprises. Here at Andrews Autos we even provide you with an estimated cost of repairs for you to factor into your buying decision.
Whether you are buying or selling a vehicle, as a licensed tester, Andrews Autos can help you out.
Brake Repairs
While most safety features mitigate the severity of accidents, your brakes can also act preventatively, and the condition of your brakes is often the deciding factor between an accident and an emergency stop. Your brakes also suffer an extraordinary amount of wear, as they routinely bring tonnes of metal to a complete stop, many times a day! For this reason, we agree with brakes manufacturers that you should have your brakes checked at least once a year.
Andrews Autos skilled technicians can provide the following brake services:
- Brake component replacement, including pads, rotors and drums
- Brake component machining
- Brake hose repairs
- Brake restorations
If you haven’t had your brakes checked in a while, please contact us today!
Steering & Suspension
Problems with your vehicle’s steering and suspension affect handling and ride comfort, causing play in the steering wheel and body lean through corners. Your suspension is also responsible for maximising the grip your tyres exert on the road surface, so a poor suspension will increase your stopping distance.
Andrews Autos experienced mechanics can provide the following steering and suspension services:
- Wheel alignments
- Shock absorbers, springs and struts
- Wheel balancing
- Bushing replacement
- Power steering repairs and replacement
If you’ve noticed problems with your handling or ride comfort, please get in touch today!
Clutch & Transmission
Responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels, the clutch and transmission are made up of some of the most intricate and precise machinery in your vehicle. Due to their sophisticated nature, even minor flaws and faults can quickly proliferate into extremely costly repairs.
If you notice a clicking noise at full turn, a grinding noise when changing gears, or a burning smell coming from under bonnet after a drive, you may have an issue with your clutch and transmission.
Andrews Autos can provide clutch and transmission repairs, as well as servicing for both automatic and manual transmissions.
If you’ve noticed any of the warning signs mentioned above, please talk to one of our friendly staff today!
Radiator & Cooling System
If your cooling system is malfunctioning, it can cause extensive damage to the engine block, and if these problems are ignored for long enough, they will eventually render your vehicle immobile, with the cost of repairs being comparable to that of buying a second-hand car.
Here at Andrews Autos, our skilled technicians can help you with:
- Radiator/heater unit repairs and replacement
- Head gasket replacement
- Coolant flush and leak check
- Thermostat check and replacement
If your vehicle is overheating, or leaking coolant, please contact us today!
Air Conditioning
Andrew’s Autos is fully equipped and proficient to fully repair your air conditioning system, replacing cracked tubing and broken condensers and compressors, and recharging your system with refrigerant gas when it’s fully airtight.
We are fully licensed by Arctick to provide all air conditioning repairs AU47170.
Diagnostics & Auto Electrical
As modern vehicles have increased in complexity, more and more functionality is being handed over to the auto electrical network. The auto electrics handle everything from playing music and monitoring fuel consumption, to assisting with braking and transmission changes, even putting your vehicle into limp mode if a serious flaw is detected, to prevent permanent system damage.
Here at Andrews Autos our expert Auto Electricians can help you with:
- Full Diagnostics
- Battery test and replacement
- Alternators and starter motors
- Component test and replacement
- Audio installations
- Lighting upgrades
- Accessory installations
- Solar/battery systems
If your check engine light is staring up at you from the dashboard, please get in touch today!
Tyres & Wheels
The condition of your tyres is the deciding factor in your grip and handling on the road, especially during wet weather, where the tyres’ treads act as channels to divert the water away from the contact patches and the road surface.
Choosing the right set of tyres is often more complex than you might first think, with driving habits, road condition and climate all factoring into the final decision.
Here at Andrews Autos our experts can help you pick the right tyres for your car, truck, or 4WD, so please talk to us today!
Other Services
We also offer LPG repairs and servicing, as well as dealing with cracked windshields and windows.
