LOGBOOK SERVICE

New vehicles tend to come with a manufacturer’s warranty that will cover the cost of a lot of mechanical failures, potentially saving you a lot of money. However, to keep your warranty valid, regular services must be administered by a registered mechanic who then stamps and signs off the vehicle’s logbook. Logbook services are also useful even if your vehicle is out of warranty, as a well-maintained logbook increases the resale value of vehicles. They can also reduce your overall repair costs, as they can catch small problems and fix them before they develop into something more serious.

At Ross Davidson Automotive we can provide logbook services for all light vehicles. Contact us to organise your logbook service today!

VEHICLE INSPECTIONS

Even though sellers are legally required to acquire a roadworthy certificate before they attempt to sell a vehicle, a pre-purchase inspection is generally a good idea as a roadworthy does not garantuee that a vehicle is without problems, just that it meets the bare legal requirements for safe driving.

Registration checks can also be helpful when you’re thinking about buying, as they give you a lot more information about the history of the vehicle. Whether your seller is not being as open as they should, or if they are just unaware of the vehicle’s full history, a registration check will allow you to find out if the vehicle has been written off, or reported as stolen, and whether the registration is still valid or has expired.

Here at Ross Davidson Automotives we can perform both pre-purchase inspections and registration checks for you. Get in touch today to organise an inspection!

STEERING AND SUSPENSION

Your suspension and steering aren’t just important for comfort, they are actually vital for your safety on the road. Poor suspension can substansially increase your stopping distance, which can be the difference between an accident and an emergency stop. As for steering, play in your steering wheel directly reduces your control of the vehicle, so it is critical that if you encounter any problems with your steering or suspension, you get them checked quickly.

At Ross Davidson Automotive our mechanics can fix:

  • Springs and shock absorbers
  • Bushing replacement
  • Power steering
  • And much more

TYRES AND WHEELS

If your tyres are worn your vehicle loses a lot of grip on the road. Even if your suspension and steering are well maintained, poor traction means you will lose a lot of control while driving, especially in wet weather. Poor wheel alignment contributes greatly to tyre wear, in addition to negatively affecting your steering.

At Ross Davidson Automotive we are equipped to organise:

  • Wheel balancing and alignment
  • Major tyre brands for all makes and models

Get in touch today if you need new tyres.
