Many people underestimate how important theirs car suspension system really is. The suspension in your vehicle is not just there to make your ride less bumpy like some people believe – it is also a major component in the overall safety of your vehicle, including how well it stops and handles on the road. Feeling all the bumps in the road? The suspension system is basically made up of four components : Struts - provide structural support for the vehicle's suspension as well as some shock dampening Shock absorbers – simply put – they control the up-and-down motion of your car and keep your tyres in contact with the ground at all times but really are an important safety feature Springs – support the weight of your car and allow the body of your car to remain stable while the suspension helps the wheels hug the road. Tyres – your tyres need to work with the rest of the system correctly to maintain safe driving behaviour of your vehicle All of these components work in conjunction with each other and are vital for the on road safety of your vehicle. At 50kmh one single worn shock absorber can add 2 metres of stopping difference to a braking vehicle – and that could mean the difference between life and death in an extreme situation. Where you drive, how you drive, and the loads you carry can all impact on shock absorber life and the condition of the suspension system - so there is no hard and fast answer to the question “ when should I have my suspension system checked”.  Repco Authorised Service recommend that you have a trained specialist inspect your shock absorbers for signs of wear every 20,000km. Approved Automotive Services are experts at suspension systems for all makes and models, and can diagnose and fix problems of all kinds, from the well documented motion sickness caused by the rear suspension problems in VE commodores through to elusive rattles and shakes that other mechanics just can’t seem to find. Call us at Approved Automotive Services today to discuss your Car suspension needs or issues and our friendly staff will be happy to help.

Are you aware of the fact that you have the choice of where your vehicle is serviced, maintained and repaired, at competitive prices. For those seeking to take advantage of end of year car sales or in need of holiday car servicing, Approved Automotive Services in Newton offers expert advice to ensure you get the best value and quality for your investment. Buying a new car is one of the most important investments people often make, so it is common sense to do what you can to ensure its proper care. Caring for your new car goes beyond detailing the interior and keeping it sparkling with a loving weekly wash, however. There are a few other things to consider, such as who is the best choice to service your car. You will want to ensure it is regularly serviced by a qualified professional, 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. Are you aware of the fact that you have the choice of the best mechanic to service your new car without voiding either the manufacturers warranty or your rights under the Consumer Guarantee. You cannot be forced to return the vehicle to the dealership where you originally acquired it for service or repairs. Provided the work is fulfilled to the manufacturers specifications by an acceptably trained person and uses respectable 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 Approved Automotive Services mechanic is fully qualified and Auto-Tech trained, giving them access to Australia's leading provider of automotive technical information and training. This means Approved Automotive Services 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. Approved Automotive Services 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 express, statutory and manufacturer warranties to avoid making the wrong selection 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 displaced 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 when purchasing your new vehicle., look out for new car dealers who may try to work in “express” or “extended” warranties, often for free. Usually these ‘additional' warranties may include quite explicit restrictions or provisions, often in a way that is not immediately understood. Many times these warranties provide no real additional benefits not already covered by the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with the dealership that sold the vehicle. Such warranties are very unlikely to bring to your attention the potential negative aspects involved with taking a new car back to the dealer for service or repair. This includes what sort of travel time you may need to get your car serviced or longer waiting times due to fewer available service locations or mechanics. Check out our frequently asked questions below for more information on New Car Service and warranties. If you need to know more, the AAAA website and ACCC website have some great information too. New car service FAQ's What is a consumer guarantee? Under Australian Consumer Law (ACL), you are protected by a Consumer Guarantee which takes into account purchase price, realistic expectations of when a failure might occur, advertising claims and the conditions under which a vehicle should operate. Previously known as a Statutory Warranty, the Consumer Guarantee does not have a specific time limit associated with it nor can it ever be replaced by a manufacturers warranty, which is in addition to the Consumer Guarantee. What is a manufacturers warranty? Manufacturers warranties are essentially a promise to the buyer that the new vehicle will be free from defects for a specific time and that any such defects will entitle buyers to a repair or other compensation. According to the Competition and Consumer Act (2010), such warranties cannot state that a vehicle MUST be returned to an authorised dealer for servicing What is an express or extended warranty? Often new car dealers will try to include "express" or "extended" warranties, sometimes for free, in the purchase of your new vehicle. These ‘extra' warranties are in addition to the manufacturers warranty and may include quite specific restrictions or provisions, usually in unclear or confusing language. Many of these contracts actually provide little or no additional benefits over and above the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with a specific car dealership. Extended warranties can (and often do) restrict you to a specific dealership, which can have its drawbacks. Can Approved Automotive Services service my new car without voiding the warranty? There is NO requirement to service your car at a manufacturer's dealership to preserve; Any manufacturer's warranty (that may apply to your vehicle).  Any state or territory based statutory warranty (that may apply to your vehicle).  Your rights to Consumer Guarantees (formerly known as implied statutory warranties).  What steps will Approved Automotive Services take to protect my warranty? Approved Automotive Services are fully qualified to carry out log book servicing and we ensure all work is performed according to the manufacturer's specifications, using appropriate quality parts, fluids and lubricants where required, meaning the manufacturers warranty remains intact. In addition, all work carried out by Approved Automotive Services is backed by the Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty. Can Approved Automotive Services stamp my logbook ? Approved Automotive Services can and WILL stamp your log book to verify the work has been conducted by fully qualified staff according to manufacturer's specifications, using appropriate quality parts, fluids & lubricants. Will having my car serviced with Approved Automotive Services help maintain the value? It goes without saying that a vehicle which has been well taken care of will maintain its value better than a poorly maintained one. Proof of a regular, properly adhered to service schedule will add further supporting evidence the car is in good condition. In addition to maintaining your warranty with correct service procedures, Approved Automotive Services will stamp your log book, which can prove invaluable should you ever decide to sell the car. What about extended warranty or specific ‘service plans'? Motor vehicle dealers sometimes offer their own extended (or express) warranties on vehicles. These extra warranties often begin after the manufacturer's warranty and may stipulate that the vehicle must be serviced by the actual dealer offering the warranty. They are generally within their right to impose this condition, but the buyer should beware, such warranties are not always what they seem. Approved Automotive Services will be happy to advise you on the conditions and relative value before you commit to any service plan.
