Pakenham Car Service, Diagnostics & Repairs

Your vehicle's suspension system is vital for ensuring a smooth and secure drive. At Andrews Autos in Pakenham, we specialise in delivering high-quality suspension repair services, covering everything from minor adjustments to extensive repairs.

Knowing the parts of your car's suspension system can help you identify potential issues. Important components include:

Springs: These help absorb shocks from the road.

Shock Absorbers/Dampers: These control spring movement to maintain a smooth ride.

Control Arms: These link the wheel hub and steering knuckle to the car's frame, allowing up-and-down movement.

Bushings: These are small rubber or polyurethane components that minimise friction between metal parts.

Struts: These combine a shock absorber and spring to support the vehicle's weight and enhance stability.

Regular checks of your car's suspension system are crucial for safe driving. Indicators that you may need an inspection include:

Uneven tyre wear: This might indicate misalignment or worn suspension parts.

Unusual noises: Clunking or knocking sounds could signal worn bushings or other suspension issues.

Excessive bouncing: If your vehicle continues to bounce after a bump, the shock absorbers or struts might be failing.

Steering difficulties: Pulling to one side or steering challenges may be due to a failing suspension system.

A common suspension problem is bushing wear and tear. While replacing the bushing alone might seem economical, opting for a complete control arm replacement has significant benefits. A new control arm includes fresh bushings and ball joints, which can greatly improve the durability and longevity of your suspension. At Andrews Autos, we suggest this thorough approach to ensure your vehicle's suspension is robust and dependable.

The Benefit of Full Control Arm Replacement

At Andrews Autos, we provide in-house wheel alignment services, which are crucial for maintaining your vehicle’s suspension. Proper wheel alignment not only ensures even tyre wear and prolongs tyre life, but it also reduces unnecessary strain on your suspension components. Misaligned wheels can lead to excessive wear on your suspension, resulting in expensive repairs later. Our advanced wheel alignment service ensures your vehicle runs smoothly and safely, giving you peace of mind on the road.

Advantages of In-House Wheel Alignment Services

Expert Technicians: Our experienced technicians are skilled in diagnosing and repairing suspension systems.

Comprehensive Services: We handle everything from minor tweaks to full control arm replacements.

Quality Parts: We use top-quality parts to ensure your suspension system is reliable and long-lasting.

Contact us today to arrange an inspection or repair service and discover the benefits of professional, comprehensive care for your vehicle.

Problems with wheel bearings can arise due to faulty seals or insufficient lubrication. The wear and tear of bearings can be hazardous, as it may result in the wheel detaching from the vehicle, cause uneven tyre wear, produce loud noises, and create instability while driving.

Repacking and adjustment of wheel bearings (where applicable)

Wheel bearing failure: symptoms and causes

To ensure a smooth and reliable driving experience, your vehicle's wheels must rotate seamlessly. Damaged wheel bearings cause friction, leading to axle wear due to excessive heat. This is particularly crucial for vehicles under load or those frequently used for towing, like Utes and 4WDs.

At Andrews Autos, we understand how concerning car noise and vibration can be. Our mechanics can quickly diagnose and resolve the issue, offering advice to put your mind at ease. If you experience any of the following symptoms, we encourage you to visit us for a comprehensive inspection:

Damaged or leaking seal on the wheel bearings

Andrews Autos is your go-to destination for all car air conditioning needs, including re-gassing, inspections, diagnosis, repairs and servicing.  We also have FREE Loan Cars Available. 

Your vehicle's air conditioning system operates by using refrigerant to extract heat from the interior and expel it outside, ensuring that only cooled, or 'conditioned', air circulates within the car. Regularly inspecting the rubber seals for leaks or wear is crucial, as deterioration could indicate refrigerant loss.

Inadequate Cooling: If your car's air conditioning fails to cool effectively, it might be due to low refrigerant levels, a clogged condenser, or compressor issues.

Unusual Noises: Strange noises like banging or rattling when the AC is on could signal problems with the compressor or other components of the system.

Unpleasant Odours: A musty or mouldy smell from the vents often points to mould or mildew in the system or cabin air filter, necessitating cleaning or replacement.

Weak Airflow: Weak or inconsistent airflow can be caused by a broken ventilation fan, clogged hoses, or seal issues in the AC.

Leaking Fluids: Noticing refrigerant leaks inside or outside your vehicle may indicate damage or cracks in the air conditioning components.

Electrical Problems: Issues such as the AC not turning on or off, or other control faults, could be due to electrical malfunctions within the system.

To ensure optimal performance, the refrigerant in your vehicle's air conditioning system should ideally be refilled completely within four years of the car's manufacture and every two to three years thereafter.

Having your air conditioning serviced prior to the summer months and holiday road trips can make a world of difference to your comfort and safety. As temperatures soar across Australia, a well-functioning air con ensures a cool and pleasant interior, preventing heat-related discomfort and fatigue. Moreover, regular servicing can enhance the efficiency of your system, potentially lowering energy consumption and saving on fuel costs. It also provides an opportunity to identify and rectify any minor issues before they escalate into costly repairs or breakdowns during your travels. Ultimately, a pre-summer air con service helps ensure a hassle-free and enjoyable journey, whether you're commuting to work or exploring Australia's stunning landscapes on a holiday road trip.

Andrews Autos is committed to environmental care and holds Arctick Authorisation (AU47170) to conduct automotive air conditioning re-gas, repair, service, or inspection responsibly.

As a Repco Authorised Service centre, our mechanics conduct a Vehicle Inspection with every service, informing you of any parts that might need replacement soon or are beyond repair.

We can combine our fully qualified expertise and knowledge with our local understanding of the driving conditions in Pakenham to not only make sure your wheels are aligned correctly, but to confirm there are no underlying issues with the technologies behind the wheel that keep you safe on the roads.

The performance of safety systems such as traction, stability control, and  ABS braking systems depend largely on how well the suspension performs, which also depends on how well the wheels are aligned, which then has a direct bearing on how the suspension copes with cornering and braking forces, as well as with sudden steering inputs - phew, that's a long line of follow on effects! But that's why it's important to always have a fully qualified workshop perform your Wheel Alignment. 

Having an alignment procedure done at Andrews Autos means knowing that the root cause of the original wheel alignment problem can be corrected professionally by suitably qualified technicians. Book in today!
