Logbook Servicing
When you buy a new vehicle, the warranty it comes with will protect you from certain expenses caused by issues in the vehicle’s manufacture. To maintain the protection of your warranty as long as you can, it’s required that you bring the vehicle to a reputable mechanic for regularly scheduled servicing.
We can provide logbook servicing for all makes and models of petrol, diesel, electric and hybrid vehicles, informing you of any issues in your vehicle and letting you drive away with the peace of mind that comes with an intact warranty.
Roadworthy Inspections
Before selling, trading or transferring ownership of a vehicle in Victoria, it must first undergo a roadworthy inspection conducted by a VicRoads licensed vehicle tester.
At Glory Automotive we’re licensed to conduct roadworthy inspections on all makes and models of light vehicles, and certify a vehicle as roadworthy should they pass. You’ll be provided with either a Roadworthy Certificate, allowing you to proceed with the sale or trade of your vehicle, or a detailed list of issues that need to be repaired before it can be deemed roadworthy.
Brake Repairs
Your brakes are arguably your vehicle’s most important safety feature, often making the difference between an emergency stop and an expensive trip to the panel beaters. Your brakes also suffer the most wear and tear of any area in your vehicle, especially with the stop-and-start nature of city driving. Regular checks of the condition of your brakes are important to make sure you’re safe on the road.
We offer a range of brake services for all makes and models of vehicles, including replacement and restoration of brake pads, discs and drums, as well as machining of new parts.
Steering & Suspension
A host of ride comfort and handling issues can be traced back to problems with your steering and suspension systems, from play in your vehicle’s steering wheel to excessive body roll when going around corners. These can all have an adverse effect on your ability to control your vehicle on the road.
We offer a complete range of services to correct handling and ride comfort issues, from replacement car springs, shock absorbers and bushing to servicing and repairs of your vehicle’s steering systems. We can also fit lift kits and ensure your vehicle is ready for off-road use with our 4WD suspension upgrades.
Clutch & Transmission
If you’re having trouble shifting gears or staying in gear, or experience strange noises and smells from underneath the car, the likely cause is an issue with your vehicle’s transmission. Problems with your vehicle’s transmission can quickly deteriorate into serious mechanical problems that affect your vehicle’s performance.
We provide a range of services for your vehicle’s drivetrain, from clutch repairs to manual and automatic transmission servicing. We can also conduct transmission fluid changes, to keep everything ticking over smoothly and without issue.
Radiators & Cooling
Keeping your engine cool is essential to maintaining a healthy vehicle. On the other hand, an overheating engine can potentially lead to a crippling and inconvenient breakdown. If you think your vehicle might be overheating, the best thing to do is either pull over immediately or drive very carefully to your nearest workshop for an inspection of your cooling system.
We’re able to provide a host of services to your cooling system, from leak checks to replacement of faulty hosing, seals or radiator units, as well as repair damaged gasket heads.
Air Conditioning
Particularly in Australia’s summer months, having an air conditioning system ready to keep you and your passengers cool on the road is vital to driver and passenger comfort. Often your aircon can go neglected, however, and most of the damage is caused not by wear and tear but by disuse through the cooler months, causing cracks and leaks in your system’s hosing.
We’ll get your aircon back in working order, from replacing cracked and leaking hosing to repairing air conditioning units and compressors. We’ll also re-gas your system with the refrigerants it needs to keep your vehicle cool all summer long, all in accordance with ARC guidelines.
Diagnostics & Auto Electrical
With vehicles becoming more and more sophisticated in their use of electronics, only the most dedicated auto electricians can keep up with the rapid changes in modern vehicles’ electrical workings.
Our staff are equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic scan tools to interpret fault codes produced by your on-board electronics and isolate the problem area of your vehicle for repair. We also repair or replace faulty starter motors and alternators, as well as install a range of replacement lighting solutions, audio devices, batteries and other accessories.
Tyres
Finding the right tyres for your vehicle means more than just matching the make and model; to get the absolute most value for money, you should also consider your typical driving conditions. Sealed or unsealed roads, typical weather, even your own habits as a driver can affect the wear your tyre suffers.
We can recommend the perfect set of tyres from a range including some of Australia’s most trusted brands, as well as fit, balance and align your wheels for optimal handling and control on the road.
