Logbook Servicing

When you buy any new vehicle you will receive a warranty for the vehicle, which will help cover the cost of any surprise mechanical problems early in the vehicle’s life. To keep this warranty’s protection for as long as possible, it’s expected of you to bring your vehicle to a reputable mechanic for regularly scheduled logbook servicing, to ensure your vehicle isn’t developing problems that might prove more costly down the line.

We can provide logbook servicing on all makes and models of petrol, diesel, electric and hybrid vehicles, letting you leave our workshop with important forewarning of any developing issues with your vehicle, and the peace of mind that comes with an intact warranty.

Vehicle Inspections

Before selling or trading your vehicle, it must first undergo an inspection to ensure that the vehicle you’re disposing of is still road-legal. This roadworthy inspection has to be carried out at a VicRoads Licensed Vehicle Tester before VicRoads will approve its re-registration.

We can provide roadworthy inspections on all light vehicles, as well as conduct pre-purchase inspections for used car buyers, as well as pre-trip inspections ahead of your next driving holiday.

Exhausts

Your vehicle’s engine needs clean air to operate to its full potential, and to ensure it gets this, your exhaust is responsible for drawing spent engine fumes away from the engine bay. Exhaust trouble can lead to poorer fuel efficiency, and the buildup of corrosive deposits in the engine itself.

With years of high-performance vehicle experience under their belt, our team specialise in exhaust systems, and can recommend the perfect aftermarket muffler, header, extractor or other air flow solution for your needs.

Brakes

Your vehicle’s brakes are arguably your vehicle’s most important safety feature, making the difference between an emergency stop and an expensive trip to a panel beater for repairs. Your brakes also suffer more from wear and tear than any other area of your vehicle, particularly with the stop-and-start nature of driving in the suburbs.

We provide a full range of brake repairs and services, from replacement parts to  checking your vehicle’s brake hydraulics, all to ensure nothing’s interfering with your vehicle’s stopping power.

Steering & Suspension

Problems with your vehicle’s handling and ride comfort can typically be traced back to issues in your vehicle’s suspension or steering, whether it’s a lack of responsiveness in the steering wheel or excessive body roll when going around corners. Issues with your steering can also affect the rate at which your tyres wear out.

We stock a range of replacement suspension parts to keep your vehicle riding smoothly, and also conduct repairs on your vehicle’s steering. We can also install lift kits and other 4WD upgrades.

Clutch & Transmission

Trouble staying in gear or changing gear, or if you experience strange noises and smells from underneath the vehicle while driving, are all sure sigsn of trouble in your vehicle’s transmission. Your vehicle’s gearbox is a piece of precision engineering, and even minor problems with it can quickly deteriorate and become more serious.

We provide a range of transmission services, from clutch repairs and replacement transmission units to servicing for automatic and manual gearboxes, as well as repairs for your vehicle’s differential and CV joints.

Engine Repairs

Your vehicle’s engine is the beating heart of your vehicle, and problems with it can have a drastic effect on your vehicle’s performance and fuel efficiency.

We offer customers a comprehensive range of engine services, from testing, rebuilds and reconditioning to repairs for engine blocks, cylinder heads, camshafts and more. We also provide EFI diagnostics and dyno tuning to help you get the absolute most out of your engine.

Radiators & Cooling

An overheating engine can quickly cripple your vehicle if it’s pushed too hard on the road, leaving you stranded. If you suspect your vehicle’s overheating, the best thing to do is pull over immediately and give us a call for a check of your vehicle’s cooling system.

We can repair or replace faulty radiator units, heater units, thermostats, head gaskets and more. We can also conduct checks and services, from pressure testing to coolant flushes, to ensure your cooling system is working as intended.

Auto Electrical & Diagnostics

With modern vehicles becoming more and more complex in terms of the electronic systems and components built in to monitor your vehicle for problems, it takes a dedicated auto electrician to keep pace and deliver the same expert electrical service and repairs for old and new vehicles.

Our workshop is equipped with the latest in diagnostic scan tools, helping us locate and remedy faults in your vehicle quicker than many other workshops. We can also check and replace faulty batteries, alternators, starter motors and more, as well as provide upgrades for your vehicle’s lighting needs and other electrical requirements.

Wheels & Tyres

Finding the right tyres for your vehicle means more than just getting tyres for the right make and model. To get the most out of your new tyres, you should also consider the typical road surface, weather conditions, even your own habits as a driver.

At Carline Cranbourne we can recommend the perfect tyres for your situation, for all makes and models of passenger car and 4WD.
