Please note: if we do the roadworthy inspection and your vehicle fails, we understand that you have a choice of repairers. We can do the repairs at a great price. We can’t do further RWC inspections on cars that have been repaired by an unauthorised, unqualified repairer, since we cannot verify the quality of their work and will not compromise the safety of our customers.

We are a third-party Roadworthy Inspection provider; however we are not a Licensed Vehicle Tester (LVT) provider. We promise we will give you our best prices and best service.

Brake and clutch repairs in Chadstone

Apple Auto Care specialise in clutch and brake repairs. Our car mechanics in Chadstone are experienced and well-trained in brake and clutch repairs, regardless of your car’s manufacturer, build, or age. The brake and clutch systems can become worn out as your vehicle ages, if not serviced regularly.

Our car mechanics in Chadstone will inspect your brakes and clutch for consistency, and if any inconsistency is found you will be notified. The required car repairs will be performed once the problem has been identified.

Tyres and wheel alignment in Chadstone

If you have observed any difficulties while steering, pulling to one side, or unusual vibrations you should have your car serviced. At Apple Auto Care, we use expert equipment to check and service your car’s wheel alignment.

Every vehicle has a specific steering track set for its front wheels and if this isn’t aligned properly, it can cause your tyres to wear rapidly or unevenly. Wheel alignment can be affected by driving over kerbs and potholes, and daily wear and tear.

Improper wheel alignment becomes more obvious when the outside or inside edge of the tyre become damaged. If you suspect your wheel alignment is out, make an appointment at one of our Chadstone workshops. At Apple Auto Care, we recommend you get your tyre alignment checked every six months or if you have any trouble while steering.

General and major car services in Chadstone

General and major car services are an important part of maintaining your car. Your car’s handbook will advise you how often you should take your car for a major or minor service; a minor service is recommended every 10,000kms and a major service is recommended every 40,000kms.

Both general and major car services will involve changing the oil and oil filters, fluid inspection, tyre rotation, checking lubrication, and emissions. Many of the services will vary depending on your car’s handbook.

For major car services, Apple Auto Care will check engine management, brake fluid, engine bolt tightness, wheel alignment, and the state of the brakes. Major car services are carried out less often than minor services and are important for your vehicle’s performance and safety.

During a general car service in Chadstone, Apple Auto Care will replace the engine oil, and check the spark plugs, emissions, ignition, fuel system, and all fluids. We carry out all car services with the utmost care at our Chadstone workshops.
