π Frequently Asked Questions
General Car Maintenance & Servicing
A: Most manufacturers recommend a service every 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first.
A: Our ACT & NSW rego inspections check brakes, tyres, lights, steering, suspension, exhaust, and more to ensure roadworthiness.
Β
A: Yes, we stock budget to premium tyres for all vehicles, including 4x4s and SUVs.
A: You can call us or use the Book Now button on this website to schedule an appointment.
Β
A: Keeping up with regular servicing is key to avoiding breakdowns. Look out for warning signs like dashboard lights turning on, strange noises, sluggish performance, or poor fuel economy. If you’re unsure, check your carβs service manual or visit us for advice.
A: Yes! Our logbook servicing follows manufacturer guidelines, so your warranty remains valid.
Β
A: The check engine light can mean anything from a loose petrol cap to a serious engine issue. Ignoring it could lead to costly repairs, so itβs best to get it checked as soon as possible.
A: A clogged air filter can reduce engine efficiency. Most vehicles need a new one every 12,000 to 15,000 km, but if you drive in dusty conditions, you may need to replace it more often.
A: This is usually a sign of worn-out brake pads. Getting them checked early can prevent more expensive repairs and keep your brakes working safely.
A: Keep your tyres properly inflated, avoid heavy acceleration, remove unnecessary weight, and stick to your service schedule. Regular oil changes and clean filters also help improve fuel economy.
A: Most manufacturers recommend replacing the timing belt between 90,000 to 150,000 km. A worn timing belt can break without warning and cause major engine damage.
Battery, Tyres & Alignment
A: If your car struggles to start, the headlights are dim, or you keep needing jump-starts, your battery might be on its last legs. Itβs best to test and replace it before it dies completely.
Β
A: Rotating your tyres every 8,000 to 10,000 km helps them wear evenly, making them last longer and keeping your car handling smoothly.
Β
A: This could be caused by uneven tyre pressure, wheel alignment issues, or brake problems. A quick inspection will help identify the cause and prevent further damage.
Choosing a Mechanic & Booking a Service
A: Look for licensed professionals with solid reviews, transparent pricing, and experience working on different car makes and models. At ACT Automotive Centre, we have over 40 years of experience and a reputation for honest, quality service.
