What’s a courtesy car & how can I get one?
A courtesy car is a free vehicle we lend to you while your car is in our workshop for repairs or servicing. We offer this service to help keep your day running smoothly, without transport hassles. Because availability is limited, it’s best to request a courtesy car when you book your appointment.
Why is regular vehicle maintenance important?
Regular vehicle maintenance is essential for keeping your car running safely and reliably. By following your manufacturer’s recommended service schedule, our Canberra mechanics at Express Auto Repairs carefully inspect and maintain all critical components, including brakes, tyres, fluids and engine parts. This approach helps identify small issues before they develop into bigger, more costly problems.
We treat your car like it's our own, making sure every check is thorough and any repairs last. Keeping up with regular maintenance not only extends your vehicle’s lifespan but also improves fuel efficiency and reduces the chance of unexpected breakdowns.
What does a logbook service include?
A logbook service strictly follows your vehicle manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. It involves changing the engine oil and filter, checking and topping up all fluids, inspecting brakes, tyres, steering, suspension and other vital systems for wear or damage. The service also includes safety inspections and recording all work in your vehicle’s logbook. This keeps your warranty valid and helps maintain your car’s resale value.
Once your service is complete, we don’t just send you on your way. We explain what we found, what we fixed and what you should know going forward. It’s all part of the care we take to keep you confident on the road.
How do I know if my brakes need attention?
Brake issues can manifest in several ways, and early detection is crucial for your safety. Common signs include squealing or grinding noises when applying the brakes, a soft or spongy brake pedal feel, vibrations or pulling to one side while braking or an increase in stopping distance. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to have your brakes inspected promptly.
During regular servicing, our mechanics in Canberra inspect and fix brake issues to keep your vehicle safe. Regular checks and timely repairs from a local mechanic keep your brakes responsive and safe on the road.
How do I know when my suspension needs servicing?
If your car feels bouncy, unstable or you notice uneven tyre wear, these can be signs your suspension needs attention. Other clues include knocking noises when driving over bumps or the vehicle pulling to one side.
Suspension components like shocks, struts, bushings and ball joints wear out over time and affect your car’s handling and safety. Our Canberra mechanics thoroughly inspect suspension systems, test ride quality and replace worn parts to ensure safe driving.
