Logbook Servicing
Whenever you purchase a new vehicle, the manufacturer provides you with a warranty that covers the cost of any parts failures. This warranty is only valid however, if you have your vehicle serviced according to the schedule laid out in the vehicle’s logbook.
Here at Transfixed Automatics, our skilled mechanics are fully certified to provide logbook servicing for all:
- Petrol Vehicles
- Diesel Vehicles
- LPG Vehicles
- Electric/Hybrid Vehicles
Inspections
If you’re planning on selling or otherwise transferring registration of a vehicle, you first have to obtain a roadworthy certificate. The certificate, issued by a licensed tester after a thorough inspection, verifies that your vehicle meets the safety standards to legally drive on Victorian roads.
A roadworthy certificate ensures a car is safe to drive, but does not guarantee the car’s overall condition. For this reason, if you’re planning on buying a secondhand car, we would recommend getting a pre-purchase inspection. This way you know exactly what you’re buying, and can avoid any nasty surprises.
If you’re planning a long road trip or camping trip, consider getting a pre-trip inspection. This way any issues can be addressed before you head off, and you can enjoy your trip with peace of mind.
Transfixed Automatics can help you with:
- Roadworthy Certificates
- Pre-Purchase Inspections
- Pre-Trip Inspections
- Modification Plates
Brakes
Your brakes are the most important safety feature your vehicle has. They can reduce the severity of an accident, like airbags, but can also act preventatively—the condition of your brakes is often the deciding factor between an accident and an emergency stop.
Here at Transfixed Automatics, we can help you with:
- Brake Component Replacement
- Brake Component Machining
- Brake Hose Repairs
- Brake Restorations
Steering And Suspension
Faults and flaws in your steering and suspension affect handling and ride comfort, causing issues such as play in the steering wheel, body lean through corners, and vibrations at speed. Your suspension is also responsible for maximising the grip that your tyres exert on the road surface, so a poor suspension will also increase your stopping distance.
Transfixed Automatics’ expert technicians can help you with:
- Wheel Alignments
- Shocks And Springs
- Wheel Balancing
- Bushing Replacement
- Power Steering
- Lift Kits And 4WD Upgrades
Exhaust
You can count on most people to remember that their car needs petrol, but you’d be surprised how many forget the other, equally important fuel for your engine: oxygen. Your exhaust allows fresh air to enter the engine bay and fuel the combustion process by drawing out the waste gases. The exhaust has such a strong impact on your engine’s operation, that it’s one of the most cost effective systems to upgrade for a performance boost.
Here at Transfixed Automatics, we can help you with:
- Exhaust Repairs
- Exhaust Replacement
- Exhaust Upgrades
Engine
The engine is the hardest working component in your vehicle, and even with regular maintenance, repairs are sometimes needed.
Here at Transfixed Automatics, our skilled team of mechanics can help you with:
- Engine Testing
- Engine Blocks
- EFI Diagnostics
Cooling System
If your vehicle’s cooling system is malfunctioning, it can cause issues such as reduced power output and fuel efficiency, even reduced engine lifespan as leaking coolant and overheating damages the engine. If these issues are left untreated for long enough, they will render your vehicle immobile, with the cost of repairs being comparable to buying a secondhand car!
Here at Transfixed Automatics, our expert technicians can help you with:
- Radiator/Heater Unit Repairs
- Head Gaskets
- Coolant Flush
- Thermostat Check And Replacement
Auto Electrical
As modern vehicles have increased in complexity, more and more functionality is being governed by the onboard auto electrical network. The network handles everything from playing music and measuring fuel consumption, to assisting with braking and gear changes, even monitoring your engine and notifying you if serious flaws are detected.
Transfixed Automatics’ skilled auto electricians can help you with:
- Alternators and starter motors
- Battery check and replacement
- Component Test And Replacement
- Diagnostic Scans
- Accessory Sale
- Accessory Installation
- Audio Installation
- Solar/battery Systems
Tyres
Your vehicle’s tyres are marvels of modern engineering. They are designed to continue to provide traction as they wear (as long as your wheels are aligned correctly). In wet weather, the treads of your tyres act as channels to divert water away from where they meet the road surface, to prevent aquaplaning.
If you need a new set of tyres, talk to our friendly staff today! We will learn about your driving habits, the environment you usually drive in, and help you pick the right tyres for you.
Transfixed Automatics have tyres from major brands for all makes and models of:
- Car
- 4WD
- Light Commercial (Vans, Utes)
