GENERAL SERVICING, MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS
Minor & Major Services inc Log Book
Whether it’s a quick oil change before a weekend getaway or a comprehensive major overhaul after a lap of the map, our workshop is geared up to keep your 4WD in peak condition. We specialise in logbook servicing that strictly adheres to manufacturer specifications, ensuring your new vehicle warranty remains rock-solid while giving you the peace of mind that only a 4×4 specialist can provide. From minor services—where we handle the vitals like high-quality filters and oils—to major intervals involving driveline fluid flushes, valve adjustments, and timing belt replacements, we don’t just “tick boxes.” We take the time to inspect your suspension, check for trail damage, and grease those hard-to-reach components that standard dealerships often overlook.
Mid Life Maintenance
If your truck has been around the block, or around the country a few times, it might be approaching that “middle-aged” milestone where standard logbook servicing just doesn’t cut it anymore. We specialise in 4×4 Mid-Life Maintenance, a comprehensive refresh designed for vehicles hitting that 100,000km to 200,000km mark. This is the critical window where factory components like cooling systems, rubber bushes, and fuel injectors start to show their age. Our team goes deep, tackling the “big ticket” preventative items that prevent a breakdown in the middle of nowhere. Whether it’s a full intake manifold clean to clear out EGR carbon build-up, a complete cooling system overhaul, or replacing tired wheel bearings and seals, we aim to reset the clock on your vehicle, ensuring it’s just as reliable for the next 10 years as it was for the first.
Intake Cleans
If your modern turbo-diesel is feeling a bit sluggish or you’ve noticed your fuel economy heading south, it’s likely suffering from a common case of “clogged arteries.” At our workshop, we specialise in comprehensive intake manifold cleans to reverse the heavy carbon build-up caused by the combination of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and oil mist. Over time, this “black gunk” chokes your engine, restricting airflow and putting unnecessary strain on your turbo. We don’t just spray a bit of cleaner down the throat and hope for the best. We perform a proper physical strip-down, removing the manifold to deep-clean it back to bare metal. The result is a rig that breathes easier, responds faster, and runs significantly cooler essential for anyone towing heavy loads or touring the outback.
Swivel Hub Overhauls
If you’ve noticed grease leaking onto the inside of your front tyres or felt a bit of “play” in your steering, it’s high time for a swivel hub overhaul. This is a critical bit of maintenance for solid-axle legends like the LandCruiser and Patrol, which take a real beating on corrugated tracks and through salt water. Our workshop specialises in full rebuilds, stripping the knuckles down to the bare spindles to replace worn kingpin bearings, axle seals, and wipers. We don’t just “re-grease and hope”, we use premium, heavy-duty kits (like Terrain Tamer or Japanese OEM) to ensure your front end stays watertight and grime-free. A fresh swivel hub setup doesn’t just stop the leaks, it tightens up your steering feel and prevents the catastrophic failure of your CV joints and wheel bearings when you’re out in the scrub.
Wheel Bearing Overhauls
There’s nothing that’ll bring a trip to a grinding halt faster than a seized wheel bearing screaming on the side of the highway. Whether you’ve been doing deep water crossings or clocking up heavy towing miles, your wheel bearings are under constant assault from heat, dust, and moisture. At our workshop, we provide comprehensive wheel bearing overhauls that go well beyond a simple “regrease.” We strip the hubs, inspect the spindles for wear, and fit high-quality Japanese or heavy-duty Timken bearings that are built to handle the lateral loads of oversized tyres and high-GVM rigs. By catching pitted rollers or contaminated grease early, we ensure your wheels stay turning smoothly and safely, preventing expensive damage to your stubs and axles when you’re miles from help.
