Basic Mechanical repairs for your car you should know about
Regular mechanical inspections performed by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended to avoid reliability concerns or to prevent minor mechanical issues from worsening. If left, these minor issues could become major issues that could result in costly repairs and replacements.
Our qualified technicians at Marx Forster Tyres & Mechanical can assist you with all your vehicle servicing, repairs and maintenance needs. We offer car battery testing and replacement services, steering, suspension, and brake repairs, exhaust servicing, and more.
Car battery testing and replacing
Your car battery is a very important component of your vehicle. It provides power to the starter motor and other components, such as lights and the radio, when the engine is off.
Whether or not your battery is displaying warning signs, it is recommended that you inspect it once a year if it is older than three years. By making sure your car battery is in good condition, you can avoid unnecessary stress, and the odds of experiencing battery failure will decrease.
Brake servicing
Your brakes are the most critical safety system on your vehicle. They are responsible for stopping the vehicle, helping you avoid collisions, assisting you to decelerate when going downhill, and keeping your car stationary when not in use.
Exhaust servicing
Your vehicle's exhaust system is in charge of dealing with the toxic emissions it emits. Inspect it regularly to make sure it is functioning correctly and that no hazardous fumes are getting into your car.
An exhaust system that’s working well will improve your fuel economy and vehicle performance. It also helps reduce noise and pollution.
If your exhaust system is not working properly, it will show some warning signs. This may include an unusual exhaust smell, excessive car exhaust sounds, and an exhaust that rattles or drags on the ground.
Suspension services
The primary function of your car's suspension system is to maintain solid contact between all of your tyres and the road. This makes it possible for the steering, braking, and driving systems to operate efficiently.
It is critical to inspect your vehicle's suspension on a regular basis. If one part of your vehicle breaks down, the whole thing stops working and becomes unsafe. This can lead to some unfortunate yet often avoidable accidents. Your suspension system may require maintenance if you notice a sudden change in how your car handles or if you hear odd noises over bumps or during tuning.
Steering repairs
At Marx Forster Tyres & Mechanical, our experienced technicians can diagnose, service or replace your steering components to keep you safe and in control when driving on the roads.
If you are experiencing strange noises when turning the wheel, a change in the feeling of your steering, or have noticed oil leaks under your vehicle, then come in and see us.
Why is regular maintenance important?
Regular car maintenance can save fuel, keep cars safe, make sure they are roadworthy, extend engine life, and prevent worn parts.
There are potential risks associated with a lack of vehicle maintenance. Neglecting car problems could lead to more costly repairs later on.
Maintaining your vehicle consistently may help when selling it later. Giving potential buyers your vehicle's complete service history can help with its resale value. This is because you will be showing that your vehicle has been well-maintained and is in good condition.
