Logbook Servicing
When buying a new vehicle you will be provided with a warranty, which protects you from certain unexpected expenses early in the vehicle’s life. To maintain this warranty, 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.
Brake Repairs
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.
At Peter Murphy Automotive Repairs we specialise in brakes, offering a full range of repairs and services, from replacement parts to machining and reconditioning of brake discs. We can also check your vehicle’s brake hydraulics 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 rebalance and realign your wheels and tyres to minimise tyre wear, and install lift kits and other 4WD upgrades.
Clutch & Transmission
Your vehicle’s transmission is a piece of precision engineering, and any issue here can quickly deteriorate if not caught early. If you’re having trouble staying in gear or changing gear, or if you experience strange noises and smells from underneath the vehicle while driving, it’s a sure sign of trouble in your vehicle’s transmission.
We provide a range of drivetrain services, from clutch repairs and replacement parts to servicing for automatic and manual gearboxes, as well as repairs for your vehicle’s differential.
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 how complicated modern vehicles can get with their electronics, it takes a dedicated auto electrician to provide a full range of services for all makes and models of new and old vehicles.
We’re equipped to provide a full range of diagnostic scans, electronic tuning and electrical services, including replacement batteries, alternators, starter motors, lighting upgrade installations, EFI diagnostics and tuning, and much more.
