We seem to live in an age now that everytime you buy something you are asked if you would like more, like when you go to MacDonalds to buy a coffee, and your upsold a muffin for a $1, have you tried to go and buy a computer? I did, i went to buy a computer and told the sales person up front i do not want any extras, but she still peristed on trying to sell me extended warranties and extras i do not need or want, when i mentioned no extras, she changed her tone with me, offered ...

I don't know about you, but as a business i get hammered daily by overseas people wanting to run my Google avertising and trying to do business with me. I've even been branded a racist as i will not do business with an overseas country.
The reasons for this is not because i'm racist, race has nothing to do with servicing or repairing your car, but i feel it is very important to do business with a company in my own area and same country as...

Hello
I've just done a vid on the corect way to test your thermostat, click on the link to see the vid.
Please note: Heat the thermostat gradually, never put a cold thermostat in boiling hot water as this stress's the temperture coil and will most likely damage the thermostat, so cover the thermostat in cold water and heat gradually untill the desired temp is reached.

I've been around the Automotive Industry all my life, i know all the tricks of the gift of the gab, i never use them, ask any of my customers and they will tell you the final bill is exactly what i say it will be, vehicles wear as they get older, we all do as well. To reduce the wear then you need to have it serviced as well, you can pretty much count on a breakdown if you don't service correctly.
If you have ever collected your car after a service w...

Servicing your car shouldn't be taken lightly, there are many grades of oils available and choosing the wrong oil can be very costly, even leading to engine seizure.
First up - Safety, ensure the car is parked on level ground, jacked up with two stands positioned each side of the chassis, do not place a ...

I don't use gimmicks or sales pitches but i do agree that what spare parts suppliers charge for an item is far far more what you will pay compaired to EBay. I encourage my customers to use EBay when purchasing spare parts, but be warned, some of the stuff on there is cheap but also nasty and can be more trouble than it's worth...

Australia seems to get the less quality when it comes to fuels, our 'Premium Fuels' are other countries standard fuel/gas benzine diesel etc, we get the bottom of the barrel at a cheaper rate but still not as a good grade to run even some of our imports, Mercedies Benz for example built after 2011 will not run...

It makes sense to get a check up done on your car, if your services are out of date or, in a lot of cases únknown' then give your car a check up. It doesn't cost much around $110.00, includes saftey/fluids check, computer scan and free quotes if anything needed. 35 years of sound Automotive advice. I don't upsell, only advise on matters that are (needed) not what is wanted to make my wallet fatter that a lot of 'free safety checks' are disguised as. You know, go get a free...

I've been through the mill with parts suppliers, parts wrong, not ordered when asked, too expensive and not even informed if parts have arrived. This effects you the customer.
I don't go for the cheapest part, i go for quality without the dealership price tag, i wouldn't put anything on or into your car that i wouldn't put in my own car, and my car is 100% spot on.
I've been through 3 Spar...
