Our Frequently Asked Questions

How do mechanics diagnose mechanical problems that aren’t showing warning lights?

Many mechanical issues don’t trigger a dash light; things like rough idling, steering play or abnormal noises can slip under the radar of onboard computers.

Mechanics use a combination of experience, manual testing and advanced diagnostic tools to trace the issue. For example, they might check engine compression, road-test the vehicle or inspect components manually to pinpoint faults.
It’s not just plug-and-play — especially with intermittent problems or older vehicles.

Can mechanical repairs affect my car’s fuel efficiency?

Yes, even small mechanical issues can drag down fuel economy. A sticking brake caliper, worn spark plugs or a faulty oxygen sensor can all cause the engine to work harder than it should.

Problems with tyre alignment or suspension can also affect how efficiently a car rolls. If you’ve noticed you’re filling up more often, it might be more than just rising fuel prices.

A proper check-up could uncover a mechanical fault behind the extra cost.
We also handle pre-purchase inspections and can fit electrical accessories. Whether it’s a routine check or something more technical, we’ve got the tools and experience to get it sorted.

And yes, we work on all makes and models, including newer vehicles with advanced systems.

How do I know if my clutch needs repair or replacement?

Common signs include a burning smell, slipping gears, difficulty changing gears or a spongy clutch pedal. In some cases, you’ll hear strange noises when pressing the clutch or feel a shudder as the car moves off.
Clutch wear can happen gradually, so it’s easy to miss early signs. If left too long, it can lead to more expensive damage — including to the flywheel or gearbox. A mechanic can test the clutch and tell you what stage it’s at.

Can worn suspension components cause other mechanical issues?

Yes, suspension problems can create a knock-on effect. Worn shocks or bushings, for example, can lead to uneven tyre wear, poor handling or even extra stress on steering components.

You might also feel vibrations or hear knocking noises over bumps. Over time, this can affect the alignment and braking performance too.

Getting suspension faults sorted early helps avoid bigger repair costs down the track and keeps the car safer to drive.

What should I do if my car starts overheating?

If the temperature gauge is rising or steam is coming from under the bonnet, it’s best to pull over safely and turn the engine off.

Overheating can seriously damage the engine, especially if it’s driven while hot. Common causes include a faulty thermostat, coolant leak or radiator issue.

Mechanics will usually pressure-test the cooling system and check the water pump, hoses and fan operation to track down the cause. The key is to act quickly before the damage gets worse.

If that’s you, just mention it when you book. We’ll make sure it’s applied when your invoice’s sorted.
