Logbook Servicing

Whenever you purchase a new vehicle, the manufacturer provides you with a warranty that covers the cost of parts failures.

This warranty is only valid, however, if your vehicle is regularly serviced by a certified mechanic, according to the vehicle’s logbook and servicing schedule.

Here at The Basin Automotive, our expert mechanics are certified to provide logbook servicing for all:

• Petrol vehicles
• Diesel vehicles
• LPG vehicles

Brake Service

Your brakes are the most important safety feature your vehicle has. While other safety systems, like airbags, can only reduce the severity of an accident, your brakes can also act preventatively, and the condition of your brakes can often be the deciding factor between an accident and an emergency stop.

The Basin Automotive’s expert technicians can help you with:

• Brake component replacement
• Brake component machining
• Brake hose repairs
• Mechanical brake restorations

Clutch and Transmission

As part of the assembly that transmits power between the engine and the wheels, the transmission is comprised of some of the most intricate and precise machinery in your vehicle. Due to their sophisticated nature, you should have your transmission checked sooner rather than later if you think there might be an issue.

Here at The Basin Automotive, our skilled mechanics can help you with:

• Manual transmissions
• Automatic transmissions
• Differentials
• CV Joints
• Servicing
• Repairs & replacement

Steering and Suspension

Faults in your steering and suspension affect handling and ride comfort, causing issues such as play in the steering wheel, vibrations at speed, and body lean through corners. Your suspension is also responsible for maximising the grip that your tyres exert on the road, so a poor suspension will increase your stopping distance.

Here at The Basin Automotive, our skilled technicians can help you with:

• Shock absorbers,springs and struts
• Wheel balancing
• Bushing replacement
• Power steering repairs and replacement
• Lift kits and 4WD upgrades

Engine Services

A car is made up many systems, some are crucial, some aren’t. A broken air conditioner is a hassle, but if your engine isn’t working, you don’t have a car, you have an expensive lawn ornament.

If you notice the check engine light, knocking noises from the engine, oil patches under your car, or reduced engine performance, you have an issue with your engine.

The Basin Automotive’s expert mechanics can help you with:

• Rebuilds
• Reconditioning
• Testing
• Engine blocks
• Cylinder heads
• Camshafts
• EFI diagnostics
• Injector cleaning

Cooling System Services

If your cooling system is malfunctioning, it can cause a host of issues, from reduced power output and fuel efficiency, to decreased engine lifespan as overheating damages the engine block.

Here at The Basin Automotive, our talented team can help you with:

• Radiator/heater unit repairs and replacement
• Head gaskets
• Coolant flush
• Thermostat check and replacement

Auto Electrical Services

As modern vehicles have increased in complexity, more and more functionality is being governed by the auto electrical network. This network handles everything from measuring fuel consumption and playing music, to assisting with braking and gear changes, even monitoring the engine bay, and notifying you if a serious fault is detected.

The Basin Automotive’s expert auto electricians can help you with:

• Alternators and Starter Motors
• Battery check and replacement
• Component test and replacement
• Diagnostic scans
• Accessory Installation
