ABOUT US

Different vehicle manufacturers have different recommendations about when to service your vehicle. However, most experts agree that it is best to have your oil and oil filter replaced every 10,000 kilometres or 6 months which ever comes first. 

A standard car service at TR Motors Mechanic Coolum is all about keeping your vehicle safe, reliable, and performing at its best.

While some specifics may vary for new logbook servicing or for different vehicle makes and models, all services start with:

We perform two road tests on your car — one prior to the service, and a final check before returning your car.

Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change – We replace the old engine oil and filter to help your engine run smoothly and reduce wear. We also perform an engine oil flush to remove sludge and build-up, and add fuel injection cleaner to improve fuel system efficiency and engine performance.

Fluid Inspection – We inspect all vehicle fluids to ensure there are no leaks and that levels are at their optimum, including brake, differential, transmission, coolant, power steering, and windscreen washer fluids.

Brake System Inspection – Checking brake pads, discs (rotors), and fluid levels to ensure your brakes are responsive and safe.

Tyre Condition and Pressure Check – We inspect tyre tread depth and wear, and adjust tyre pressures for better fuel economy and handling.

Battery Test – Ensuring your car battery is charging correctly and has enough power to avoid breakdowns.

Lights and Wipers Check – Making sure all exterior lights, indicators, and windscreen wipers are working properly for safety and visibility.

Air Filter Check / Clean – A clean air filter helps your engine breathe better, improving power and fuel efficiency.

Drive Belt and Hose Inspection – We inspect belts and hoses for cracks or wear that could lead to engine damage.

Diagnostic Scan (if required) – We use modern scan tools to identify any fault codes or issues within your car’s onboard computer system.

Suspension Check – We inspect your shocks and struts for wear or leaks to ensure a smooth ride and safe handling.

Clutch Operation – We assess clutch feel and engagement to spot any early signs of wear or slipping.

Steering and Bushes – Worn bushes can cause vibrations, uneven tyre wear, and poor handling. We check for damage and excessive play.

General Suspension Components – Including control arms, ball joints, and linkages to maintain safe and stable driving conditions.

At our workshop, we tailor each service to your vehicle’s make, model, and manufacturer’s service schedule, so you always know your car is getting the care it needs.

As a final touch, we degrease and wash down the engine bay — it's these little extras that make TR Motors stand out from the rest.

To maximise the life of your tyres and ensure their best performance, you should have them rotated every 10,000 – 20,000 kilometres.
