Services
Logbook Servicing
Whenever you purchase a new vehicle, the manufacturer provides you with a warranty that covers the cost of parts failure. This warranty is only valid, however, if you have your vehicle regularly serviced by a certified mechanic, who records and stamps these services in your vehicle’s logbook.
Here at Seamus Hill Automotive, our expert mechanics are fully certified to provide logbook servicing for all:
- Petrol vehicles
- Diesel vehicles
- LPG vehicles
- Electric/Hybrid vehicles
Inspections
When you’re planning on selling or otherwise transferring ownership of a vehicle, you must obtain a Roadworthy Certificate, issued by a licensed tester after a thorough inspection that ensures the vehicle can be safely driven on Victorian roads.
When you’re thinking about buying a secondhand vehicle, we would recommend bringing it in for a pre-purchase inspection. The pre-purchase inspection ensures you know exactly what you’re buying, and avoid any nasty surprises.
Seamus Hill Automotive is a licensed tester and fully capable of providing:
- Roadworthy Certificates
- Pre-purchase inspections
Steering and Suspension
Faults in your steering and suspension affect handling and ride comfort, causing play in the steering wheel and body roll through corners. Your suspension is also responsible for maximising the grip your tyres exert on the road surface, so a poor suspension will also increase your stopping distance.
Here at Seamus Hill Automotive, our expert technicians can help you with:
- Wheel alignments
- Shock absorbers, springs and struts
- Wheel balancing
- Bushing replacement
- Power steering repairs and replacement
Brakes
Your brakes are most important safety feature your vehicle has. While other safety systems mitigate the severity of an accident, your brakes can also act preventatively, and the condition of your brakes is often the deciding factor between an accident and an emergency stop.
Your brakes suffer a surprising amount of wear, routinely bringing over a tonne of metal to a complete stop, several times a day. For this reason we agree with brakes manufacturers that you should have your brakes checked at least once a year.
Seamus Hill Automotive’s experienced mechanics can provide the following brake services:
- Component replacement (pads, rotors, drums etc.)
- Machining
- Hose repairs
- Restorations
Air Conditioning
Nothing ruins a summer drive faster than broken air conditioning. Your air conditioning is unique in that it degrades more from disuse than from use.
Here at Seamus Hill Automotive, we can fully repair your air conditioning, starting by replacing faulty condensers and compressors, then swapping out cracked tubing, and finally recharging your system with refrigerant gas once we’re certain it’s airtight.
