In the workshop today: timing belt and water pump service on this sharp Ford Fiesta ST (1.6L EcoBoost)

​Timing belts degrade with age as well as kilometres. On interference engines like these, letting an old belt stretch, crack, or slip isn't a risk worth taking.

​Locked into factory timing specs, fresh tensioner and belt fitted, and ready to get back out carving the bends safely.

​Due for a major service or not sure when your timing belt was last replaced? Get in touch with the team today!

Is your car's A/C ready for the upcoming heat?

​Take a look at what came out of a Triton in the shop today. That collapsed cabin filter wasn't letting a breath of air through to the cabin, choking the system and causing the evaporator core to ice up.

​If you haven't checked your cabin or engine air filters in the last 12 months—especially if you've been hitting the red dirt, gravel tracks, or towing—it’s time for a fresh set.

​Keep your air cold and your engine breathing easy.

Notice a burning oil smell or spots on the driveway? Don't ignore it—when an oil leak gets this bad, it can cause a serious engine fire!

​This Toyota Camry came into the shop with an oil leak concern. Once we checked under the hood, we found the rocker cover gasket had completely failed, sending a steady flow of engine oil straight down onto the exhaust heat shield.

​Exhaust manifolds and catalytic converters reach temperatures high enough to ignite leaking oil. Beyond the serious fire risk, letting it run this low on oil can quickly ruin the engine.

​We’re giving this one a full degrease, installing a fresh, quality rocker cover gasket, and torqueing it down properly so it’s completely safe and leak-free.

​Smelling burning oil or seeing fresh drops under your vehicle? Drop by the workshop or send us a DM to get it sorted before it turns dangerous.

Another day, another AC condenser in the workshop!

​This Honda Odyssey rolled in with warm air just in time for the warmer weather. Once we pulled the front end apart, the culprit was obvious: years of road debris, bent fins, and a sneaky leak that dropped all the refrigerant.

​Out with the battered old unit and in goes a fresh new condenser, full system vacuum, and precise re-gas. Ice-cold air restored for the whole family!

​If your air conditioning is blowing lukewarm or taking forever to cool the cabin down, don’t sweat it out this season.

7-Year Warranty on the glass, zero chill under the bonnet.

​Nothing screams modern budget engineering quite like stripping the entire front clip down to bare metal just to swap out an AC condenser on a small runabout with barely 63,000 km on the clock.

​Looking at that clogged, battered core, it’s a coin toss whether a rogue highway stone took out the razor-thin alloy fins or the cheap welds gave up under pressure. Either way, good luck getting the dealer to honour that tailgate sticker,one look at road grime and they'll happily pass the buck.

Ever wonder what you’re actually breathing in every time you turn your car’s air conditioning on?

​This Mazda CX-5 came in today for a routine logbook service, and this was the cabin air filter we pulled out. Between the gum leaves, road grit, dust, and trapped allergens, this filter was doing some heavy lifting completely choking the AC blower!

​Your cabin air filter is the only barrier between outside pollution and your lungs while you drive. When it looks like this:

Airflow drops significantly

Musty or stale smells develop

Your blower motor has to work overtime

Dust and pollen blow straight through into the cabin

​A fresh filter takes minutes to swap during a service and makes an immediate difference to your air quality and AC efficiency.

​When was the last time yours was checked?
