Logbook Servicing

When purchasing a new vehicle, the warranty that comes with it offers a certain amount of protection from unexpected expenses early in the vehicle’s life. To maintain this protection it’s expected that you bring your vehicle to a reputable mechanic for regularly scheduled logbook servicing.

At Absolute Mechanical we can provide logbook servicing for all makes and models of petrol, diesel, electric and hybrid vehicles, giving you forewarning of any developing mechanical problems and letting you drive away with the peace of mind that comes with an intact warranty.

Vehicle Inspections

Every few years vehicles need to undergo a safety inspection to ensure they’ve been kept in good condition and are still fit for use on Queensland’s roads. The amount of time between safety inspections changes from vehicle to vehicle, depending on how old the vehicle is and a number of other factors.

We can provide safety inspections for all makes and models of light vehicles, allowing you to keep using it on the road. We also provide pre-purchase inspections for secondhand car buyers, pre-trip inspections ahead of long journeys, and COI inspections for commercial vehicles, including taxis, limousines and vehicles for ridesharing drivers.

Brake Repairs

Your vehicle’s brakes are your most important safety feature on the road, potentially making the difference between an emergency stop and an expensive trip to the panel beaters. Your brakes can undergo more wear and tear than any part of your vehicle, and require regular checking to ensure your vehicle retains its stopping power.

We can provide a range of services to keep your brakes in good condition, from replacement parts to check of your hydraulics, as well as brake disc surface restoration.

Steering & Suspension

Ride comfort and handling issues can often be traced back to wear and tear in your vehicle’s steering and suspension systems. This can present as anything from play in your steering wheel to body roll when going around corners.

We can provide replacement suspension components covering car springs, shock absorbers, bushes and more, along with power steering repairs, lift kits, 4WD upgrades and more.

Clutches & Transmissions

Problems getting into gear or staying in gear, strange noises from underneath the car, or power loss when on the road, are all potential signs of trouble in your vehicle’s drivetrain. Transmission problems can very quickly deteriorate if not found and repaired sooner rather than later.

We provide a range of replacement clutches and manual and automatic transmission units, as well as repairs and servicing to keep your drive train operating smoothly.

Radiators & Cooling

An overheating engine can quickly detract from your vehicle’s overall performance, potentially even sidelining your vehicle altogether with a breakdown. If you think your vehicle’s overheating, get in touch with our team today for a cooling system check.

We can help you with a variety of checks to diagnose your cooling system’s problems, from pressure tests to locate leaks to coolant flushes to dislodge any potential internal blockages. We’ll also repair or replace faulty radiator units, heater units, thermostats and head gaskets.

Air Conditioning

Driving anywhere in Queensland through the summer months goes beyond uncomfortable to downright oppressive without a properly functioning air conditioning system. If your system has developed cracks and leaks in the cooler months, you may not even know about it until you find your air con not working when you need it in the summer.

Our workshop is ARC-certified to conduct air conditioning repairs, replacing leaking hoses, seals and air con units as required. Once we’re satisfied your system is air tight again we’ll re-gas your vehicle with the refrigerants it needs to keep your vehicle cool all summer long.

Diagnostics & Auto Electrical

As newer vehicles’ electrical systems become more and more sophisticated, care needs to be taken to ensure it has the network of wiring and power required to keep your vehicle’s onboard systems running smoothly.

Our workshop is equipped with the latest in diagnostic scan tools, to help us locate and repair electrical faults that many other workshops are unable to find. We can also test and replace faulty batteries, alternators and starter motors, install a range of accessories and more.

Wheels & Tyres

Finding the best tyres for your vehicle means more than just matching the right make and model. If you want to get the most out of your new tyres you should also consider what you’ll be using your vehicle for, the typical road surface and weather conditions, even your own habits as a driver.

We stock a range of premium tyres for all makes and models of cars from some of Australia’s most trusted brands. We’ll also fit and balance your new tyres to your vehicle, ensuring you get the most out of them with extended tyre life and optimal handling.
