Logbook Servicing

When buying a new vehicle, the warranty with which it often comes is an important safety net against mechanical faults early in the vehicle’s life. To maintain your warranty, your car dealer will insist on regular logbook services to make sure the vehicle’s in good condition. While the dealer might try to convince you these services need to be performed by the dealer’s own service department, you have the option of taking your vehicle to any reputable auto repairer.

Tucker Automotive is able to provide logbook servicing for all petrol, diesel, LPG and hybrid vehicles, allowing you to maintain your vehicle’s warranty without the added hassle and cost of a dealership service. If you’d like to know more, or to book your vehicle’s next logbook service, contact Tucker Automotive today.

Wheels & Tyres

Selecting the right tyres for your vehicles is more complex than just considering the make and model of your car; to get the most out of your new tyres, you should also consider where you take your vehicle, what roads it covers most frequently, and your own habits and tendencies as a driver.

Tucker Automotive can recommend the right choice in tyres for your vehicle and driving habits, including professional tyre fitting and wheel alignment. If you’d like to know more, or to book your vehicle in for a service, contact Tucker Automotive today

Steering and Suspension

Many ride comfort and handling issues originate from faults in your vehicle’s suspension and steering systems, from play at the steering wheel to body roll experienced through corners. Tucker Automotive can service your vehicle’s suspension and steering, from fitting new shock absorbers, springs and bushings to repairs to your vehicle’s power steering and other steering components, giving you more control at the wheel and a smoother ride.

Tucker Automotive also regularly conducts wheel alignments to improve control on the road and reduce tyre wear. If you’d like to know more, or to book your vehicle in for a service, contact Tucker Automotive today.

Air Conditioning

Australia is famous for its oppressive heat in warmer months, and at the wheel of a car it’s only worse. This makes having your vehicle’s air conditioning system in good condition practically essential to driving in Australia. As your air conditioning experiences the same wear and tear and any other part of your vehicle it’s important to have your air con examined for faults, to ensure it’s ready to go when you need it.

Tucker Automotive is able to provide a comprehensive air conditioning service, from checking valves, hoses and seals for leaks and cracks, before re-gassing your air con system, giving you peace of mind behind the wheel during the holidays. To have your air conditioning inspected, contact Tucker Automotive today.

Clutch and Transmission

Problems shifting gears or staying in gear, strange whining or clunking noises from under the hood, or burnt smells coming from the car are all early warning signs of trouble brewing in your vehicle’s transmission or drivetrain.

Tucker Automotive can inspect your vehicle’s drivetrain, repairing anything from a sticking clutch pedal or clutch line problem to faults in your vehicle’s automatic or manual transmission. If you suspect your vehicle has transmission trouble, don’t delay; contact Tucker Automotive today.

Diagnostics

With cars becoming more and more sophisticated, having the right auto-electrical solution for your needs is vital. In most cases, the specific problem your vehicle is experiencing isn’t exactly made clear, with only a few warning lights on your dashboard as indication.

Bring your vehicle to Tucker Automotive for a diagnostic check of its auto-electrics, with the latest diagnostic scan tools. Any problems in your vehicle will be located and repaired. Contact Tucker Automotive today to find out more.

Brake Services

Your brakes are arguably your vehicle’s most important safety feature, and experience the same wear and tear as any other part of your vehicle. Without regular checks, over time your brakes will lose their stopping power, making your vehicle more unwieldy when braking. Poor brakes can also result in increased tyre wear, adding further costs to maintaining your vehicle.

Tucker Automotive can service and repair your vehicle’s brakes, from fitting replacement brake pads, discs, rotors and drums to checking your brake hoses for cracks and leaks. We’re also able to machine new components tailor made for your particular vehicle, or recondition your existing parts or get some extra life out of them. Contact Tucker Automotive Repairs if you’d like a professional brake inspection.

Radiator & Cooling

Keeping your vehicle’s engine at the proper operating temperature ensures that your vehicle runs at optimum performance, and helps prevent problems developing in your vehicle’s engine and exhaust. An overheating vehicle can develop catastrophic engine failures, requiring expensive rebuilds or reconditioning to repair; this makes it essential to have your vehicle checked if it’s running hotter than usual.

Tucker Automotive is able to service your vehicle’s cooling system, from repairing or replacing radiator and heater units, replacement of damaged head gaskets, coolant flushes and testing of your vehicle’s thermostat. To find out more about our cooling services, contact Tucker Automotive today.
