A vehicle that carries weight, tows, or spends time on dirt wears differently to a car that commutes. Brakes and suspension work harder, driveline components see loads a passenger car never sees, and service intervals set for normal use can arrive early.
We service and repair 4WDs, utes, vans and light commercial vehicles with that in mind — including the driveline and load-related wear that a standard inspection list does not always reach.
A guide to what this work typically covers. The exact scope depends on your vehicle and what we find once it's on the hoist.
Most manufacturers publish a shorter service interval for vehicles used in dusty conditions, for towing, or for frequent heavy loads. If your vehicle works that way, the shorter interval is the applicable one, and following the standard schedule will leave oil and filters in service longer than intended.
For a vehicle that earns its keep, the disruption of an unplanned breakdown usually outweighs the repair. We would rather find the worn component at a scheduled service and book the work in than have it fail mid-week.
If your question isn't covered here, call the workshop and we'll talk it through.
Tell us what is fitted when you book so we can allow for it and inspect the modified components properly.
Tell us about your vehicle and we'll take it from there.
