"Hi David

My name is Debbie and I go to City Impact Church. 

I had my car serviced for the first time by your company last week and as I could not reach you by phone, thought I would email instead...

I just wanted to let you know that every staff member that I spoke to or saw gave excellent friendly service.  I mentioned that I saw the advert in the magazine and received a discounted labour cost. They rang me to explain the cause of one problem I was having and supplied me with a new tyre at a very reasonable price.

The small pack of sweets was a lovely touch although my teenage son was with me at the time and I had to fight him for them (haha)... Once again, thanks very much, and I hope that this feedback is useful."

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SERVICING

Automatic transmissions need flushing & servicing every 40,000kms. Most automatic transmissions fail due to internally overheating. This is usually a direct result of poor maintenance. This service involves connecting the transmission flushing machine to the automatic transmission lines in your vehicle & flushing system with new transmission oil. This process cleans the transmission filters & galleries in the valve body. This service will help extending the life of your transmission & in most cases providing smoother gear changes. We only use Premium high grade fully synthetic transmission fluid. Approx. cost $280 +GST.

AIR CONDITIONING

Your air conditioning system needs servicing approx. every 2 years (most air conditioning systems lose approx. 10-15% per year of refrigerant gas).

BRAKES & CLUTCHES

BRAKES – This service involves removing all 4 wheels & brake drums if fitted. Inspecting, cleaning & adjusting brake shoes, disc pads & brake calipers & replacing if necessary (with customers authority).

CLUTCHES – This service involves checking the free play (adjustment) in the clutch cable & adjusting if necessary, checking the clutch fluid (hydraulic system) & road testing vehicle.

CAMBELT/TIMING BELT

A cambelt/timing belt is situated in the front or side of your engine behind the plastic cambelt covers.

COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE

Your cooling system needs servicing every 20,000kms or 2 years.

It also lubricates the seals in your water pump & lowers the boiling point of the fluid. Approx cost $100+GST.
