OUR SErVICES

FLEET REPAIRS AND SERVICING

Here at Active Auto Electrical & Mechanical, we understand that every second your fleet is off the road is costing you money. That’s why our expert fleet repairs and servicing team work with you to come up with a servicing schedule that works around your business and keeps your fleet’s downtime to a minimum.

We are already providing fleet repairs for numerous companies, including AVIS and AJ Sheet Metal, and we would love to help you keep your fleet where it belongs, on the road and earning.

LOGBOOK SERVICING

When purchasing a new car, it will usually come with a warranty that protects you from certain unexpected expenses early in the vehicle’s life. To maintain that warranty, you’re expected to bring your vehicle to a reputable auto repairer for its scheduled logbook servicing. While your dealer might insist that their own service department conduct these, often at added cost and inconvenience to you, we can handle your logbook services ourselves.

We’re able to conduct logbook services on all makes and models of petrol, diesel, electric and hybrid vehicles, from passenger cars to light commercial vans or utes. We’ll check your vehicle for any developing faults, and you’ll drive away with an intact warranty.

To find out more, or to book your next logbook service with us, give us a call today!

ROADWORTHY & OTHER INSPECTIONS

Before selling your vehicle, or trading it to someone else, or re-registering it after a long time off the road, you’ll be required to take your vehicle to a VicRoads licensed vehicle tester and have it undergo a roadworthy inspection, to ensure it meets strict Victorian government standards for vehicles on the state’s roads.

We can conduct pre-roadworthy inspections on all passenger and light commercial vehicles, and let you know what on your vehicle needs repairs. If we find no problems with your vehicle, you can then take your vehicle in to have it certified roadworthy, allowing you to register your vehicle or put it up for sale.

Active Auto Elec can also help you with pre-purchase and pre-trip inspections, so you know exactly what you’re buying and can avoid nasty surprises, or enjoy your trip with peace of mind.

BRAKE REPAIRS

Your vehicle’s brakes are the most important safety feature you’ve got behind the wheel. Being able to bring your vehicle to a stop when you need it is essential to safe motoring. But with the stop-and-start nature of city driving, your brake components can wear out and fall into disrepair much faster than other areas of your vehicle, making a check of your brakes every now and then vital.

We’re able to repair and replace key components in your brake systems, including brake pads, discs and drums, as well as machine new parts in-house to cut repair times. We’re also able to check your brakes’ hydraulics for damage to hosing and other fluid leaks.

If you think your brakes might be hampered by wear and tear, give us a call today!

STEERING & SUSPENSION

Your vehicle’s steering and suspension system are crucial to your vehicle’s handling on the road, and ride comfort for you and your passengers. Play in the steering wheel, body roll when going through corners, and uneven tyre wear are all problems that can be traced back to wear and tear in your steering or suspension.

We can conduct repairs on these areas of your vehicle, from power steering systems to shock absorbers, car springs and bushing, to help make your vehicle handle smoothly and responsively on the road.

To find out what else we can do for your vehicle’s handling and ride comfort, contact one of our staff today!

AIR CONDITIONING

Any driver in Australia can appreciate the importance of a working air conditioning unit. But like all car parts your air conditioning system will accumulate wear and tear, particularly in the cooler months when your system isn’t used as often; the hoses and seals that hold your vehicle’s coolant can develop cracks and leaks when unused.

Active Auto Electrical & Mechanical can service your vehicle’s air conditioning unit, from checking the lines for cracks and leaks and replacing faulty hoses, to a re-gassing of your air conditioning unit once we’re satisfied it’s airtight.

To have your air conditioning system checked out, book your vehicle in by contacting us today.

CLUTCH & TRANSMISSION

Problems changing gears or staying in gear more often than not can be traced back to an issue with your vehicle’s clutch systems. This can affect your vehicle’s ability to reach high speeds, or maintain speed while on the road.

We’re able to service your clutch and solve issues such as a sticking or unresponsive clutch pedal, and clear up blockages in your hydraulics that might be affecting your ability to change gears, saving you the headache of an expensive transmission repair. If your transmission does need repairs, our expert team can also help you with manual transmissions, automatic transmissions, differentials and CV joints.

RADIATORS & COOLING

Keeping your engine cool is essential to maintaining a healthy vehicle. Your vehicle’s cooling system is responsible for ensuring your engine maintains the correct operating temperature and prevents it from overheating, which can cause a great amount of damage to your vehicle’s inner workings. If you suspect your vehicle’s overheating, you should either pull over to the side of the road immediately, or very carefully drive to Active Auto Electrical & Mechanical for a check of your cooling system.

We’re able to make repairs to your vehicle’s radiator unit and heater unit, or replace them entirely, and can also replace a faulty thermostat, all to properly regulate the temperature of your engine and ensure good vehicle health.

If your car is having trouble keeping its cool, contact us today!

ENGINE & EXHAUST

Your exhaust is responsible for drawing waste gases out of the engine bay, allowing fresh air to enter and fuel the combustion process. It has a much more profound effect on engine operation than most people realise, affecting fuel efficency and power output significantly.

Here at Active Auto Electrical & Mechanical, our expert team of technicians can help you with exhaust repairs, replacement, modifications and upgrades. In regards to engines, we can help you with EFI diagnostics and full engine replacement on secondhand vehicles.
