The brakes are one of the most critical parts of your car’s safety system. Pay attention to any signs of trouble with your brakes, such as squeaking, grinding, vibration, longer stopping times, brake pad indicator light coming on, or thin brake pads. You should have your brake pads checked every year or every 10,000 km, but they will usually need replacing after 20,000 to 30,000 km on average, depending on factors such as the quality of your brake pads, your driving habits, and the condition of other braking components. If you’re experiencing any of the above symptoms, let our expert handle it.

Wheel alignment
If you’ve noticed your car pulling to one side or the steering wheel is not centered while you drive, it could mean your car is due for a wheel alignment. Poor alignment can cause premature tire wear, suspension failure, unsafe operation, excessive steering wheel play, and more. Proper wheel alignment maximizes fuel economy, tire life, and the overall performance of your vehicle.
Head light alignment
Headlights are one of your car’s most important safety features. It is important to ensure that your headlights are correctly aligned, both for your own safety and the safety of other road users.So we need to be check and align head lamp periodicly.
There could be a number of reasons why your air con may be blowing out hot air. Over time, vehicle air conditioning systems can lose efficiency due to refrigerant leaks, clogged filters, and worn out seals. However the the main and most likely reason for your AC not working is that the AC system is low on refrigerant. Thus we need to use proper equipment with proper fluid to check and charge Air con.
Tire change & wheel balance
If you replace your tires due to reasons of seasonal switch, (i.e. from summer tires to winter tires, or vice versa) or damaged you need to do tire balance.
When refitting any tire to a wheel, we recommends that the tire is correctly rebalanced to help eliminate vibration and avoid premature wear caused by an imbalance in the tire assembly.
As part of routine vehicle maintenance, drivers should seek to balance the tires on their vehicle after every 5,000-10,000km traveled, or after 1-2 years (whichever comes first).
Engine diagnose
People usually bring cars in for an engine diagnostic when the “check engine” light is displaying, or when they are experiencing engine problems.
An engine diagnostic is a test which is performed to learn more about why an engine is not functioning properly. Engine diagnostics performed by skilled mechanics with the proper equipment.
Chassis inspection
The chassis is designed to transfer, absorb or dampen the different forces generated between the road and the car and ensure contact with the road at all times. This not only makes a significant contribution to safety but also contributes greatly to driving comfort. This inspection includes an inspection of all chassis components, such as shock absorbers, transverse control arms, rubber sleeves, rubber bushes, support and ball joints.
Computer diagnose
Computer diagnostics is a crucial aspect of modern auto repair. Electronic Control Units (ECUs) contain numerous sensors that collect data on the car’s performance. The problem with these complex computer systems is that when something goes wrong, it can be difficult to determine the issue without the use of specialized tools. That’s where computer diagnostics come in. Computer diagnostics involve the use of sophisticated tools to read and interpret the data collected by the sensors and provide the mechanic with a detailed report on the condition of the vehicle.
Recently most of the automotive manufacturers use long-life engine coolant to provide full protection.
Coolant can deteriorate over time and should be tested to see if it’s still good, as it can be hard to tell just by appearances.
Thus, the coolant in any vehicle should be tested periodically and if necessary need to replaced.
Transmission fluid lubricates the various moving parts in your car’s transmission to boost its performance. Just like your engine oil, over time, the transmission fluid will deteriorate.It’s important to change your transmission fluid, but the type of transmission you have affects changing interval. If you drive manual transmission vehicle, most manufacturers will recommend changing your transmission fluid every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers. If you have automatic, manufacturers will recommend to change transmission fluid 40,000 to 80,000 kilometers.
