Sometimes while servicing your Ford vehicle we may uncover a repair that needs to be carried out. We'll contact you immediately to let you know the repair needed, the cost involved and to request your approval. This way there's no bill shock when you pick up your car. 

Repairs that often come up include:

• Ford Falcon and Territory - diff bushes
• Ford Ranger oil cooler Failure
• Ford Focus gearbox failure
• Ford Fiesta - engine misfire

We always recommend 6 month/10,000km service intervals.

Car engines and oil quality has improved greatly over the years and as a result, manufacturers have increased the service intervals.  However, in most car manuals, it will mention factors that impact the timing of service intervals like personal driving habits and road conditions where the service intervals by kilometres do not apply.

That's why we think sticking to 6-months / 10,000km is best. It helps to keep your car in good condition and maximises the opportunity to be proactive about repairs before they become an issue.

Just like humans need water, cars need oil. Without it, your car won't be lubricated, causing deterioration inside your engine and potentially everyone's worst nightmare - a breakdown.

Water vapour, unburnt fuel and gases from the combustion process can overload your engine oil and these combine to form sludge deposits on your engine. Engine sludge clogs the oil galleries and limits lubrication to moving parts inside the engine which can lead to costly repairs.

Your car needs to drive 15 – 20 kilometres for the engine to fully warm up and reduce the rate of contamination. This is why we change the engine oil.

Yes we only use high quality, manufacturer-approved oils. When poor quality or incorrect oil is used in an engine it often doesn’t have the right additives or viscosity to begin with, which leads to premature sludge build-up on your Ford engine.  That’s why using a quality oil - and changing it regularly - is essential.
