LOGBOOK SERVICING

When buying a new car it will typically come with a warranty, which protects the buyer from certain unexpected expenses early in the vehicle’s life. To maintain the warranty and the peace of mind it provides, it’s required that you bring your vehicle to a reputable mechanic for regular logbook servicing, to make note of any developing faults in your vehicle and repair them before they become more serious problems.

We can provide logbook servicing for all makes and models of passenger car or light commercial vehicle, keeping you updated on how your car’s doing under the bonnet and also keeping your warranty intact for as long as possible.

ROADWORTHY INSPECTIONS

Before you sell your vehicle on, or transfer ownership of it to a third party, it first needs to be declared roadworthy by a VicRoads licensed vehicle tester, and issued with a Roadworthy Certificate. This certificate is used as proof that your vehicle’s key components and safety features are all in proper working order, and that the vehicle is in a driveable condition.

We’re able to conduct roadworthy inspections on all makes and models of passenger car and light commercial vehicle, and can also conduct pre-purchase inspections for drivers looking to buy a secondhand vehicle and pre-trip inspections for drivers preparing for a long road trip.

BRAKES

Faulty brakes can make driving less safe than it needs to be, and your brakes can suffer from wear and tear very quickly, particularly with the stop-and-start nature of city driving. When your vehicle has trouble coming to a stop when you need it, our team of experienced mechanics will help set your vehicle right.

We can replace faulty components in your brakes, from pads and rotors to issues with your pedals and fluid lines, to restore your vehicle’s stopping power. We can also machine new brake components in-house, as well as recondition worn brake discs to get the most life possible out of them.

STEERING & SUSPENSION

A variety of ride comfort and handling issues can be traced back to problems in your vehicle’s steering systems or suspension. Worn suspension components can result in body roll when negotiating corners or damage to the underside of the vehicle, and faults in your vehicle’s steering can cause unresponsiveness or ‘play’ in the steering wheel.

At Gambold Engineering we can repair or replace key components in your vehicle’s suspension and steering systems, from car springs, shock absorbers and bushing to faulty power steering systems.

If you suspect a steering or suspension problem in your vehicle, bring it to Gambold Engineering for an inspection. Call today to book your vehicle in.

CLUTCH & TRANSMISSION

If you’re having trouble changing gears or staying in gears, or if you’re noticing strange noises or smells from under the car, the likely cause is a drive train problem, whether it’s a sticky clutch or faults in your transmission.

The team at Gambold Engineering Services can check your whole driveline for problems, and replace worn clutch parts or manual or automatic transmission units.

If you’ve got issues getting your vehicle into gear, call us today to organise an inspection of your transmission.

COOLING SYSTEMS

Keeping your engine cool is critical to maintaining a healthy engine. Conversely an overheating engine could be disastrous for your vehicle; if your vehicle begins to overheat on the road, either pull over immediately or drive very carefully to Gambold Engineering Services for a check of your vehicle’s cooling systems.

We’re able to check your vehicle’s cooling system for leaks in the hosing, radiator and heater units, as well as check for faults in your vehicle’s thermostat. We’ll also flush your coolant lines to remove clogs or blockages that might interfere with your cooling system.

If you think there might be a problem with your vehicle’s cooling, give us a call today!

AIR CONDITIONING

With Australia’s unpredictable climate, a properly working air conditioning system is essential for comfortable motoring. During the cooler weather when you’re less likely to use your air conditioning, however, it can develop cracks and leaks due to disuse, meaning it’s not ready to keep you cool when you need it.

The team at Gambold Engineering Services can check your vehicle’s air conditioning system for these kinds of faults, replacing damaged hosing and seals as needed, as well as conducting repairs to your air con unit itself. We’ll then re-gas your system with the refrigerants needed to keep your vehicle cool.

If your air conditioning isn’t working as well as it once did, make a booking for your vehicle by contacting us today!

AUTO-ELECTRICAL & DIAGNOSTICS

With vehicles becoming more and more sophisticated in terms of their onboard electronics, having an electrical system in proper working order is more important than ever. Whether you’re not getting enough power from your battery, or there’s a warning light on your dashboard you can’t make sense of, bring your vehicle to Gambold Engineering for an experienced auto electrician’s advice.

Our workshop specialises in interpreting fault codes and other diagnostic services specific for BMW vehicles. With over 35 years of experience repairing BMWs, you can bring your vehicle to us with confidence.

WHEELS & TYRES

Improperly fitted or balanced tyres can create uneven contact between your vehicle and the road below, resulting in odd noises behind the wheel, uneven tyre wear, and inconsistent handling.

We can advise customers on the right tyre solution for their vehicle, driving habits and environment. We can also fit, align and balance your tyres for maximum road contact, improving grip and optimising your vehicle’s handling.

ENGINE AND EXHAUST

Most people only think of their exhaust if it starts belching smoke or making funny noises—but the exhaust is responsible for drawing waste gases out of the engine bay, allowing fresh air to enter and fuel the combustion process. The exhaust has such a profound effect on engine operation, that it’s one of the most cost-effective performance upgrades you can buy.

Here at Gambold Engineering Services, our skilled technicians can help you with exhaust repairs, replacement, modifications and upgrades and engine testing, engine blocks, cylinder heads, camshafts and EFI diagnostics.

OTHER SERVICES

In addition to the above services, Gambold Engineering can offer a range of other services, from exhaust repairs and windscreen replacements to coordinating local towing services to collect your vehicle in the case of a collision or breakdown.
