Owning a car is more than just getting from point A to point B – it’s about ensuring your vehicle stays reliable, safe, and efficient on the road. At Ultra Tune, our experienced team offers car repairs and maintenance with state-of-the-art equipment for all kinds of mechanical repairs.
But with so many different types of repairs, it can be tricky to know when it’s time to see a mechanic. In this blog, we’ll break down some of Ultra Tune’s primary types of car repairs and when you should book an appointment.
Preventive Maintenance
Preventative maintenance is a great way to keep problems at bay. Just like our own health, regular check-ups will help you catch issues early on. A regular maintenance service in Ultra Tune includes oil changes, a road test, brake inspections, and fluid top-ups, as well as a vehicle safety report and more.
We recommend getting preventive maintenance at least once a year. This will help extend your car’s lifespan, improve fuel efficiency, and help your car service costs down in the long run.
Brake Repairs
Brakes are one of the most crucial safety components of your car. Over time, brake pads, rotors, and other parts will wear down, eventually needing to be replaced. Common signs your brakes need repairs include squealing or grinding sounds, longer stopping distances, or a soft brake pedal.
Delaying brake repairs is dangerous, but can also lead to more expensive repairs. If you notice any warning signs, come to see one of our brake mechanics right away.
Engine Repairs
Your engine is the powerhouse of your car, so any issues should be taken seriously. Common engine problems include overheating, misfiring, or unusual noises. You’ll know when to check under the hood when your check engine light comes on. Ignoring engine issues can lead to more significant problems like complete engine failure—which is extremely costly to fix.
Tyres and Wheel Repairs
Keeping tyres maintained is an important part of ensuring you and your family are safe on the road. Common tyre issues include reduced tread depth, misaligned or unbalanced tyres, and low pressure/flat.
If your car starts pulling to one side while driving, the steering wheel is off-centre, or you have uneven tyre wear, then you know it’s time to go to a mechanic. At Ultra Tune, we use only state-of-the-art equipment for tyre fitting, balancing and wheel alignment, and we have a huge range of tyres suitable for most vehicles.
Suspension & Shock Absorber Repairs
Suspension systems keep your car balanced, stable, and smooth on the road. Over time, parts of the suspension like shocks, struts, and springs can wear out. If you feel excessive bouncing, hear clunking noises, or notice uneven tyre wear, it’s time to get your suspension checked.
A worn-out suspension affects your car’s handling and safety. Come in to see one of Ultra Tune’s mechanic at the first sign of trouble—we can help you avoid more serious issues in the long run.
