Things worth asking

Can you do logbook servicing in Waurn Ponds without voiding my new car warranty?
Yes — under Australian Consumer Law, any independent service operator using manufacturer-spec parts and procedures can do your logbook servicing without affecting warranty. We use OEM or OEM-equivalent filters, fluids, and components carried on-board, and stamp the logbook accordingly.
How often do I need to replace brake fluid?
Brake fluid is hygroscopic — it absorbs moisture from the air over time. Manufacturers typically specify a 2-year interval regardless of mileage. Old brake fluid lowers the boiling point of the system, which can cause brake fade under hard braking.
How much does car AC regas cost in Waurn Ponds?
AC regas pricing depends on the refrigerant type. R134a vehicles (pre-2017 mostly) are $180–$280. R1234yf vehicles (most 2017+) are $280–$420 because the refrigerant itself is significantly more expensive. Both include a leak test before regassing.
Do I need shock absorbers replaced in pairs?
Yes — shocks and struts should always be replaced as a pair (both fronts or both rears). Replacing only one creates uneven damping that affects vehicle stability and tyre wear. Most shock replacements also require a wheel alignment afterward.
How long does a dash cam installation take?
A front-only install with hardwired power takes around 1.5 hours. Front-and-rear with parking mode and full cable concealment takes 2.5–3 hours. Most dash cams come with a memory card and a brief walkthrough of the controls before you leave.
What’s the difference between an interim service and a major service?
Interim services (typically every 10,000km or 6 months, whichever sooner) include oil and filter changes plus inspection. Major services include the interim plus additional items like brake fluid, coolant, transmission fluid, and timing belt/chain checks at higher mileages.
