Dont be fooled by mechanics offering flat rate fixed price car service for all types of car. The simple fact is that every car is different and therefore requires different service requirements. Furthermore, each service interval is specifically designed to address particular areas of a car based on either the kilometres the car has travelled or how old the car is. Mechanics who claim to perform car service for a single "Fixed" price are usually only able to do so by taking shortcuts or not following the full, correct service procedure for a given service interval. In some cases you may even end up paying more than you should to cover for someone else paying less.

But that does not mean you should just hand your car over to a mechanic, cross your fingers and hope they give you a good price at the end either. A good mechanic will have a fair idea of how much each service should cost and give you the information up front. A much fairer method of pricing therefore is to give you a base price for a particular type of service and if anything may cost extra or anything unexpected pops up, inform you immediately, before any further work is carried out on your vehicle.

Keys Road Auto Service offer a range of structured car services with a fixed base price so you know what you will be paying up front. If there is any reason the service will exceed these prices, Damien and the team will tell you immediately so you are not caught by surprise with a big bill for extras after the fact. Some cars will cost more than others to service, and some service intervals require more work and parts than others but you can rest assured the team at Keys Road Auto Service will keep you fully informed.

Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Cheltenham

Differential bushings could be the issue if they are aged, worn or cracked.  They control movement in the joints, absorb road bumps and reduce vibrations and noise while driving or reversing. These are one of many automotive issue we can handle at Keys Road Auto Service, your trusted local mechanic in Cheltenham.

It is fair to say that the Ford Territory and Falcon are two of the most popular vehicles on Australian roads. Both of these models are prone to high rates of wear in some rear suspension components, such as the rear differential bushing. This is particularly apparent on vehicles that have travelled high kilometres, have high horsepower or vehicles towing loads regularly.

A tell-tale sign that this bushing is no longer performing as intended is hearing a clunking noise or feeling a jolt under acceleration or when shifting gears from drive to reverse. The primary function of the rear differential bushing is to provide a smooth and quiet transfer of power from the engine to the rear wheels of your vehicle under acceleration.

Should this issue go unresolved it may result in excessive wear on surrounding drive train and suspension components so it is wise and economical to act swiftly should you be experiencing any of these symptoms.

Your local Repco Authorised Service Centre Keys Road Auto Service in Cheltenham is experienced in diagnosing and fixing this problem. We can replace your worn rubber differential bushing with a highly durable Nolathane differential bushing specifically designed and manufactured to address this problem and return your vehicle back to its optimum performance.

So, if “clunking” goes with your Territory or Falcon, contact the team at Keys Road Auto Service today.

It is fair to say that the Ford Territory and Falcon are two of the most popular vehicles on Australian roads. Both of these models are prone to high rates of wear in some rear suspension components, such as the rear differential bushing.

At Keys Road Auto Service in  Cheltenham we believe the transmission is an important part of your vehicle.

Without the transmission, your vehicle would not be able to move between gears. The transmission fluid allows you to do this smoothly and also protects the working parts inside your transmission. The transmission fluid doesn't diminish through use. Yet the level should still be checked periodically because if there is a leak, or the fluid level is low, it will harm the internal parts of your transmission.

Transmission fluid can become dirty over time with metal shavings and other particles which will shorten the life of your transmission. Replacing a transmission is a costly exercise and so checking the fluid and replacing it when necessary is a good investment in the long run.

At Keys Road Auto Service we provide a full 65 Point Vehicle Condition Report upon request with every full car service - This includes a check of your transmission fluid and we will advise you if we think your fluid needs to be replaced or if a transmission service might be needed.

Call Keys Road Auto Service for all your diesel 4WD and diesel passenger vehicle repairs, inspections and services. We are conveniently located in Cheltenham.
