City Centre Motors prides itself on providing a top quality and thorough job; to ensure this we only fit quality replacement vehicle parts, and use quality lubricants in your vehicle.
Automatic Transmission
Automatic Transmissions need servicing regularly and typically fail due to internally overheating. This is usually a direct result of poor maintenance.Automatic Transmission Servicing will help extend the life of your transmission and in most cases provide smoother gear changes.
Brakes
If your brakes are squealing, grinding, pulling the vehicle to one side or making your steering wheel shake, then it's time to come and see us.Cam Belt / Timing Belt
A Cam Belt /timing belt is situated in the front or side of your engine behind the plastic Cam Belt covers.This belt should be changed every 100,000kms or 4 years, whatever comes first. In some engines there are 2 belts, a Cam Belt/Timing Belt or a Balance Belt.
CV Joints
CV Joints are a critical part of your drive line. They transmit the power from the gear box to the wheels. If you start to hear a knocking sound when you turn a corner, you might need a replacement.
Exhaust & Mufflers
A clean vehicle exhaust system is a sign that your vehicle is running well. If your vehicle exhaust seems loud or is unduly smoking, it's best to get it checked out; especially as a leaking system can lead to carbon monoxide fumes being released inside your vehicle.Oil & Filter
You should have an Oil change regularly; regardless of how many kilometers the vehicle has driven. If a vehicle is not used much, the oil in the engine still needs to be flushed and replaced.
Suspension, Shocks & Steering
Suspension keeps tyres in contact with the road surface, and eliminates road shock; the Shock Absorbers are a key part of the suspension system.If your vehicle is veering or wandering, or if you can hear noises when your vehicle is turning or going over bumps, you may have a suspension issue or a steering issue.
Tyres and Wheel Alignment
Tread and tyre pressure are the two critical factors to tyre safety. Tyre tread will help your vehicle to grip the road surface when braking and cornering. Driving on incorrectly inflated tyres will use more fuel, and wear tyres out very quickly, while driving on over-inflated tyres can affect vehicle handling and overall wear.Vehicle Air-Conditioning
Vehicle Air-Conditioning systems need servicing approximately every 2 years (most air conditioning systems lose approxiamtely 10-15% per year of refrigerant gas).
This service involves discharging, recharging & lubricating your refrigerant system. Also testing your air conditioning compressor oil if applicable & changing if necessary.
