Your cars safety and roadworthiness is dependent on 3 elements, it's ‘stopping, steering and stability' capabilities.

Not only do the suspension and shock absorbers provide a comfortable ride, but they also play a vital role in maintaining three crucial capabilities that ensure your safety, the safety of your passengers, and that of other road users. To avoid potential issues, routine maintenance is recommended, and any irregularities should be reported to us immediately for inspection.

An important part of keeping all aspects of your vehicle working properly is to stick to your regular Log Book servicing schedule. However, if you notice any of the following symptoms you should get your vehicle checked out as soon as possible;

Nose diving and swerving - bonnet dips when braking or slowing down

Car rocks and rolls over bumps and doesn't hug bends when cornering

Our suspension and shock absorber services include inspection, diagnosis, repairs and replacements so we'll have your car fixed and back on the road time. Don't delay, book today.

Top Quality: As a part of the Repco Authorised Service Centre network all of the work we perform is backed by our Repco Nationwide Warranty.

The Right Parts: Our mechanics are kept up on all the latest parts thanks to Repco service bulletins. Additionally, we have access to the Repco spare parts network which means we can find you the right part at the right price.

The Best Team: Our mechanics are well versed in many different makes and models. From a fleet of vehicles to the family car, we are here for you.

What are some of your suspension & shock absorber's important parts?

Springs - Springs are designed to absorb energy and there are several different types including leaf, coil, torsion bar or air assisted springs. The springs on different types of cars will be set up to different levels. Luxury cars, for example, may have soft springs to produce a smoother ride but this results in more body movement when the car brakes and corners. Sports cars, on the other hand, tend to have tighter springs which allow for more aggressive driving, including around corners, but also mean a less smooth ride.

Shock absorbers - these dissipate the energy absorbed by the springs. The car would not work properly without the shock absorbers because the springs would cause it to bounce up and down when you go over a bump rather than absorb that bump.

Strut - this is a shock absorber mounted inside a coil spring. Struts do the job of the springs and shock absorbers plus provide additional structural support for the suspension system.

Anti-sway bar - spans the width of the axle and joins the two sides of the suspension together to provide stability to the car while it is moving.

RAS Auto Facts - Air Conditioning

Leaks and evaporation may reduce the refrigerant levels over time meaning your air con system will begin to deteriorate and will have to work harder, raising the amount of fuel you burn.

Therefore it is important to conduct a regular assessment of the condition of the rubber seals for any signs of leaks or wearing which may be causing a loss of refrigerant.

By getting a yearly car air conditioning service you can help prevent costly breakdowns now and in the future, keep passengers safe by helping to prevent the build-up of potentially harmful substances and a well serviced car air conditioning system actually saves you money because it expends less fuel.

Benefits & Problems of Battery Charging Explained 

As a car owner, you know how vital the battery is for your vehicle's smooth functioning.

A fully charged battery is beneficial in more ways than one. 

First, it ensures your car starts right away, without any lag or delay. 

Secondly, a fully charged battery enhances your car's performance and boosts its fuel economy. 

Thirdly, a fully charged battery enables your vehicle's electronic components to function smoothly and reliably.

However, when your battery is not fully charged, it can cause some significant problems.

First, an undercharged battery may lead to a weak starting power and prolonged cranking time, putting a lot of stress on the starter and the alternator. 

Secondly, an undercharged battery may affect your car's electronic systems, leading to malfunctioning, faulty, or incomplete functionalities.

Lastly, an undercharged battery may reduce the lifespan of your battery and its capacity to hold charge.

As you can see, it is essential to have your car battery tested regularly to ensure it's fully charged and functioning correctly. Moreover, replacing an old or worn-out battery is equally vital for your car's longevity and safety. By keeping your battery charged and healthy, you can ensure a hassle-free and smooth ride every time. So, take good care of your battery and drive with confidence.

Learn about the benefits of a fully charged car battery and the problems you may encounter with an undercharged one. Get to know why testing and replacement are crucial for your vehicle's performance. Contact Star Automotive and Tyres in Moonah for all your battery needs...
