Keep your new car in top condition with the right choice of service provider. Halls Gully Automotive offers qualified mechanics, Repco branded parts, and manufacturer-specified fluids and lubricants. Protect your warranty and consumer rights with us.

The truth of the matter is that you have the choice of where your vehicle is serviced, maintained and repaired, at competitive prices.

Acquiring a new car is one of the most important investments most people make, so it is common sense to do what you can to ensure correct maintenance. Caring for your new car goes beyond detailing the interior and keeping it sparkling with a loving weekly wash.

You will want to ensure it is regularly serviced by a qualified professional like Halls Gully Automotive, to the manufacturers requirements, using high quality parts from a reputable supplier and fluids which meet the manufacturers specifications. This is not just to look after your new car, but because if these four requirements are met you will also preserve the manufacturers warranty.

The truth of the matter is that you have the choice of who should service your new car without voiding either the manufacturers warranty or your rights under the Consumer Guarantee.

Your Car - Your Choice : Halls Gully Automotive

Dealers cannot force you to take the vehicle back to the dealer where you originally purchased it for service or repairs. Provided the work is overseen to the manufacturers specifications by a suitably skilled person and uses adequate quality parts and fluids, the warranty stands. You have the right to choose who services your car.

With Repco Authorised Service you can tick all the boxes. Every Halls Gully Automotive mechanic is fully qualified and Auto-Tech trained, giving them access to Australia's leading provider of automotive technical information and training. This means Halls Gully Automotive mechanics are kept fully up to date with the latest in automotive service techniques and are able to service your new car without voiding the warranty.

Repco branded parts & products are manufactured to stringent Repco quality standards, and are covered by the Repco Nationwide Warranty, giving you added protection. Halls Gully Automotive will also only ever use fluids and lubricants that meet the specifications of the manufacturer of the car.

If you already own a new car or are thinking of purchasing one, make sure you clearly understand where your statutory rights begin and end

Make sure you are aware of the differences between statutory, manufacturer and extended warranties to avoid making the wrong choice when it comes to servicing your new car. You are automatically covered by a statutory warranty, also known as a Consumer Guarantee, under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and this statutory protection can never be replaced by manufacturer or express warranties (which are offered by the car maker and car dealer respectively).

A lack of disclosure requirements on car dealers at the point of sale regarding these contracts can easily lead the consumer into making a choice to be bound by a long term contract without access to all of the details needed to make a properly informed decision.

So at the time of sale, be aware of new car dealers who may try to push the incorporation of “express” or “extended” warranties, often for free. Quite often these ‘bonus' warranties may include quite limiting restrictions or provisions, and often can seem very confusing. Many times these arrangements provide very few additional benefits over and above the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with a particular new car dealership.

Such arrangements are very unlikely to point out the potential negative aspects involved with taking a new car back to the dealer for service or repair. This includes possible increased travel times to get your car serviced or longer waiting times due to fewer available service locations or mechanics.

The ability of your vehicle to stop, steer, and remain stable are critical components that directly impact its safety and overall roadworthiness.

In addition to providing a comfortable ride, the suspension and shock absorbers play a vital role in the proper functioning of three crucial capabilities, ensuring the safety of yourself, your passengers, and fellow motorists on the road. While regular servicing and maintenance can go a long way in preventing issues, it's essential to seek prompt assistance from us if you observe any irregularities.

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.

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

Some of your suspension & shock absorber's important parts include

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.
