Testimonial Tuesday

Steve booked in his Land rover Evoque for it's regular Log Book Service

But during that service we found that the car battery failed the load test and needed to be replaced.

We also found that the rear brake pads had less than 3mm so it was a safety issue and we replaced both rear brake rotors and brake pads.

Steve took advantage of one of our loan cars so he could continue with his day.

Blackwood Dyno Tune & Service appreciate Steve's kind words and his trust in our services. Safety First. Call us on 8370 3450.

๐Ÿš— UPGRADING YOUR CAR? MAKE SURE YOU GET THE BEST POSSIBLE PRICE FOR YOUR CURRENT VEHICLE!

Thinking about selling your car to help fund your next vehicle? Before you put it on the market, a Pre-Sale Vehicle Inspection & Service from Blackwood Dyno Tune & Service could help you put your best foot forward.

๐Ÿ”ง Why have your vehicle inspected before selling?

A comprehensive inspection can identify issues that could become a roadblock when negotiating a sale โ€” from worn brakes and tyres to fluid leaks, warning lights, suspension concerns or servicing that may be overdue.

Knowing what needs attention means you can:
โœ… Address important repairs before listing
โœ… Present your vehicle in the best possible condition
โœ… Avoid unexpected issues during a buyer's inspection
โœ… Give yourself more confidence when negotiating the sale price
โœ… Help protect the value of your vehicle when upgrading

๐Ÿ“‹ We can also provide a service report on completion, giving you documentation of the work carried out and the vehicle's condition.

And there's a benefit for the new owner, too.

A comprehensive inspection and service history can give the purchaser greater peace of mind, while helping them understand what maintenance, major services or repairs may be coming up โ€” so there are fewer surprises after they drive away.

Whether you're selling privately or preparing your vehicle for a trade-in, a little preparation now could make the changeover into your next car that much easier.

CAR SERVICE TIP: Donโ€™t Just Look at the Outside of Your Tyres!

When was the last time you checked the inside edge of your tyres?

Itโ€™s easy to look at the tread you can see from the outside and assume everything is fine. But tyres can wear unevenly, with the inside edge sometimes becoming dangerously worn while the rest of the tyre still appears to have plenty of tread.

Uneven or excessive wear on the inside of a tyre can be a sign of:
โ€ข Incorrect wheel alignment
โ€ข Worn suspension components
โ€ข Incorrect tyre pressures
โ€ข Steering or suspension problems

The tricky part? You may not notice anything unusual while driving until the problem has become more serious.

A professional tyre check could help identify a problem before it becomes a safety issue โ€” or leads to premature and expensive tyre replacement.

If youโ€™re unsure about the condition of your tyres, bring your vehicle into Blackwood Dyno Tune & Service. We can check your tyres, wheel alignment, steering and suspension and help identify potential problems early.

Testimonial Tuesday

A valued client Nicole booked in her Mitsubishi Outlander.

A routine Log Book Service is about more than simply ticking boxes in your vehicleโ€™s service schedule โ€” it can also uncover issues before they leave you stranded.

Our team recently carried out a Log Book Service on a Mitsubishi Outlander and found the battery was failing its load test and the vehicle was cranking slowly.

Battery load test โ€“ FAILED
Slow engine cranking identified
Battery replaced
Outlander serviced and ready to go

Catching a weak battery early can help avoid the frustration of a vehicle that wonโ€™t start when you need it most.

Regular servicing helps keep your vehicle safe, reliable and running at its best.

โ›ฝ Do You Know Your Fuel Types?

With several fuel options available at Australian service stations, it can be confusing to know what the different numbers and labels actually mean.

๐Ÿ”น Diesel
Designed for diesel engines, diesel fuel is different from petrol and should only be used in vehicles designed for diesel. Diesel engines are commonly found in 4WDs, utes, vans and commercial vehicles.

๐Ÿ”น Unleaded 91
The standard unleaded petrol available at most service stations. It has a minimum octane rating of 91 and is suitable for many petrol vehicles. Always check your vehicle manufacturer's recommended fuel.

๐Ÿ”น Premium Unleaded 95
A higher-octane petrol with an octane rating of 95. Some engines require or recommend 95, while others can use it as an alternative to 91.

๐Ÿ”น Premium Unleaded 98
A higher-octane petrol with a rating of 98. It is recommended or required for some higher-performance and turbocharged engines. Using a higher octane fuel isn't automatically better for every vehicle โ€” follow the manufacturer's recommendation.

๐ŸŒฑ E10
Unleaded petrol containing up to 10% ethanol. E10 can be used in many petrol vehicles, but not all vehicles are compatible, particularly some older models. Check your owner's manual or manufacturer's advice before using it.

๐ŸŒฑ E85
A fuel containing a much higher proportion of ethanol โ€” typically 51โ€“83% ethanol, depending on the season and fuel specifications. E85 is only suitable for vehicles specifically designed or approved for flex-fuel/E85 use. It should not be used in a standard petrol vehicle unless the manufacturer says it is compatible.

๐Ÿ‘‰ The most important rule: Don't simply choose the most expensive fuel. Use the fuel grade and type recommended for your vehicle.

Not sure which fuel your vehicle needs? Check your owner's manual or speak to your local automotive professional.

Auto Electrical Problems โ€“ Know the Warning Signs!

Modern vehicles rely on their electrical systems for far more than simply starting the engine. From the battery and alternator to safety systems, electronics, navigation and entertainment, thereโ€™s a lot going on behind the scenes.

Sometimes an electrical problem is obvious โ€” like a car that wonโ€™t start. But other warning signs can be much more subtle.

Common signs of an auto electrical problem include:

โ€ข Difficulty starting or a faulty start
โ€ข A flat or repeatedly failing battery
โ€ข Warning lights appearing on the dashboard
โ€ข The engine failing to start or engage
โ€ข Problems with electrical components or accessories
โ€ข Corrosion or buildup around battery connections
โ€ข Unusual issues with your vehicleโ€™s electronic systems

Problems can be caused by components such as the battery, alternator, starter motor, spark plugs, wiring or other electrical components.

With modern vehicles becoming increasingly dependent on sophisticated electronics and safety systems, itโ€™s important not to ignore electrical warning signs.

If your vehicle is experiencing starting problems, warning lights or unusual electrical issues, bring it in for a professional inspection.
