Log book servicing for all new cars in Hackham

Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs are the right choice for new car service in Hackham. 

You always have the choice of where your vehicle is serviced, maintained and repaired, at competitive prices, without voiding either the manufacturers warranty or your rights under the Consumer Guarantee.

You do not have to take the car back to the dealership who sold it to you for service or repairs. Provided the work is overseen to the manufacturers specifications by a suitably skilled person and uses tolerable quality parts and fluids, the warranty stands. 

With Repco Authorised Service you can tick all the boxes. Every Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs mechanic is fully qualified and Auto-Tech trained, giving them access to Australia's leading provider of automotive technical information and training. This means Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs 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. Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs will also only ever use fluids and lubricants that meet the specifications of the original car manufacturer.

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 manufacturer, statutory and extended 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also known as a Consumer Guarantee, under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and this statutory protection can never be superseded by manufacturer or express warranties (which are offered by the car maker and car dealer respectively).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 a new vehicle, be on guard for new car dealers who may try to include “express” or “extended” warranties, often for free. As a general rule these ‘extra' warranties may include quite comprehensive restrictions or provisions, and are not always what they are cracked up to be. Many times these promises provide no real additional benefits not already given by the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with the dealership that sold the car.

Such promises are very unlikely to focus on the potential negative aspects involved with taking a new car back to the dealer for service or repair. This includes how far you will need to go to get your car serviced or longer waiting times due to fewer available service locations or mechanics.

The right choice for new car service in Hackham

A new client approached Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs after experiencing a terrifying incident. While driving at 40km/h, the control arm of their vehicle snapped. This mechanical failure pushed the strut into the strut mount, leading to a crack. Strut mounts play a significant role in connecting the suspension strut to the vehicle, cushioning tyre noise and vibrations, and contributing to a smoother drive.

What made this case particularly alarming was the customer's revelation that he had been travelling on the freeway at 110km/h just moments before the incident. The snapping of the control arm under such conditions could have resulted in a catastrophic outcome. It was a chilling reminder of what might happen if vehicle maintenance is overlooked.

This incident also highlighted a critical issue - the customer's previous service provider had missed signs of deterioration in the control arm, a problem that had been developing over several years. At Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs, we understand the importance of thorough inspections and proactive maintenance. During every service, we diligently check all components, including control arms and strut mounts, to identify and address potential issues before they escalate into major problems.

If you're experiencing an unusual rattling sound coming from the front end of your vehicle, it could be due to a snapped control arm. The control arm plays a critical role in maintaining the proper alignment of the wheels and ensuring optimal tyre contact with the road. When the control arm fails, it can cause significant damage to other parts of the suspension system, such as the strut mount.

At Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs in Hackham, we understand how crucial it is to keep your vehicle's suspension in excellent condition. Our experienced mechanics are skilled in identifying and fixing a wide range of suspension issues, including control arm problems.

If you're experiencing any suspension issues or concerns about your vehicle's driveability, don't hesitate to bring it to our team at Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs. Our friendly and professional staff will ensure that your vehicle is safe and roadworthy, giving you the peace of mind you deserve while on the road. Call us today to book your appointment!

Even distribution of this mixture is important to optimise the efficiency and performance of the engine.

The INLET / INTAKE MANIFOLD supplies the fuel/air mixture to the cylinders. 

A clogged MANIFOLD can affect the power and efficient performance of your engine.

It's not every day that you think about your vehicle's intake manifold, but when it's clogged, it can create a slew of problems. Here are three issues that arise when your intake manifold needs cleaning.

1. Decreased Engine Performance - As the name suggests, your intake manifold is responsible for directing air into your engine's cylinders. When it's clogged, less air is getting through, and this affects your engine's performance. You may notice sluggish acceleration or poor fuel economy.

2. Engine Misfires - When there's not enough air getting into the engine, your fuel mixture may not ignite correctly. This can cause your engine to misfire or sputter. It can also trigger your check engine light, so it's essential to address this issue as soon as possible.

3. Overheating - Your engine requires a specific amount of air and fuel to run smoothly. When there's not enough air getting into the engine, it may cause the engine to run hot. This can cause a lot of damage to your vehicle, from warping of metal components to damaging your engine entirely.

In conclusion, cleaning your intake manifold is a vital aspect of car maintenance that should not be overlooked. If you notice any of the symptoms mentioned above, make sure to schedule a visit to your mechanic to get your intake manifold cleaned out.

Here are 3 issues that can affect your vehicle performance. Get your intake manifold cleaned at Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs, a Repco Authorised Service centre & RAA Approved Repairer in Hackham.

Normal combustion engines create gases, water vapor, fuel fragments and acids inside the engine. 

Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs share many of the mechanical issues that can occur in your vehicle and why it's important to have your car regularly serviced.

These are held in suspension in the motor oil. If the oil is changed at regular intervals, most of the sludge particles are drained away with the used oil. However, if the oil is not changed regularly, over time the by-products form sludge.

Engine oil sludge build up is a common issue for many car owners, and if not taken care of, it can cause severe problems. Engine oil is an essential component of your car's operation as it helps lubricate various engine parts, reducing friction and keeping them running smoothly. Over time, the oil can break down, become contaminated with dirt and debris, and turn into a thick sludge.

Sludge build-up within your engine can cause:-

reduced cooling ability of the oil causing an increased strain on the cooling system

1. Engine damage: The sludge can clog up the oil pump pick-up screen and oil passages, leading to oil starvation and engine damage. It can also cause parts to wear out faster than they should, such as bearings, piston rings, and camshafts, leading to costly repairs.

So what happens when you don't service your car's oil regularly and the sludge builds up? Here are three problems that you could face:

2. Reduced fuel efficiency: Engine oil sludge can lead to a significant decrease in fuel efficiency. Sludge makes the engine work harder than necessary, using more fuel than it should, and ultimately affecting your wallet.

3. Safety hazards: Engine oil sludge can also cause safety hazards such as overheating, which could result in engine fires or a sudden loss of power while driving, leading to accidents.

Preventing engine oil sludge build-up is simple and can save you time and money in the long run. Regular oil changes every 5,000 kms or three months will keep your engine oil fresh and help prevent sludge build-up. Also, ensure to use the recommended oil viscosity and oil filter type by the car manufacturer.

We recommend regular engine oil and oil filter replacement. In vehicles with low regular mileage, we also recommend the use of an engine flush additive before replacing the engine oil.

Speak to our team at Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs to see what is best for your vehicle.

Don't Let Engine Oil Sludge Build Up Ruin Your Car - Learn How to Prevent It

Engine Oil Sludge Build Up: The Dangers and How to Avoid Them.

When was the last time you flushed your brake or clutch fluid?

Neglecting the regular replacement of your brake fluid can result in its deterioration, leading to decreased effectiveness and an increased braking time. The degeneration of the fluid may also result in the formation of air bubbles and pockets, further hindering your ability to bring your vehicle to a complete stop.

Maintaining your brakes through timely Brake Fluid Flushes as advised by Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs is crucial to ensuring quick response times and reducing the likelihood of accidents. This important procedure safeguards your braking system from the harmful effects of water contamination and corrosion.

Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs recommend flushing your clutch fluids at the same time every 2 years to PREVENT problems. It a low cost way to protect your vehicle and your wallet.

Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs are qualified to perform a wide range of brake services and repairs using quality parts, all covered by our Nationwide Warranty.

We never compromise on safety, ensuring that when you need to stop, you can trust that we will deliver.

Failure to flush the clutch fluid every two years can cause various issues in the car's clutch. Over time, the fluid can become contaminated with debris and moisture, leading to rust, corrosion, and eventual failure.

This can result in a stiff clutch pedal, difficulty shifting gears, or even complete failure of the clutch system. In addition, the increased wear and tear on the clutch components can lead to more frequent repairs or replacement, adding to the overall maintenance costs of the vehicle. To avoid these problems and ensure the longevity and proper function of your car's clutch, regular flushing of the fluid is essential.

Clean brake and clutch fluid not only protects your safety it also prolongs the life of your braking and gear system components by preventing corrosion.

Whenever a full car service is provided at Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs, customers may request a comprehensive 65-Point Vehicle Inspection report that assesses the state of the brake fluid, clutch, master cylinder, front and rear discs and pads, calipers and cylinders, and more. This review provides crucial information that will help keep you safe, or allow you to plan and budget for any potential repairs your vehicle may need.

Ensure your vehicle's safety by regularly flushing your fluids at Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs in Hackham. Our qualified mechanics use quality products and equipment to maintain your brakes' optimal performance. Book your appointment today!

Flush your Brake and Clutch Fluid at the same time

The timing belt is responsible for ensuring moving parts of the engine operate in harmony and do not collide with each other.

The TIMING BELT, also known as a cam belt, is a reinforced, toothed rubber belt which is propelled by the engine crankshaft and drives the camshaft which in turn opens the valves of the engine. The TIMING BELT bears a very high load in the engine, and being rubber, perishes with age, heat and exposure to chemicals.

As the TIMING BELT is under plastic covers to protect it from damage, it is often neglected, as it cannot be seen without removing the covers and other components.

Most car manufacturers recommend replacing the TIMING BELT between 60,000 and 100,000 kms. A damaged belt may break or the drive teeth may strip, causing the camshaft in the engine to stop rotating leaving some valves open. This can then result in the crankshaft pushing the pistons into the valves and bending them. That is if you are lucky and worse problems are not the result.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE WHEN YOUR TIMING BELT WAS LAST REPLACED, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU BOOK IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED OR REPLACED.

The cost to replace the TIMING BELT is a fraction of the cost of repairing major engine damage, as well as having your car off the road for a couple of days minimum.

Timing belts inspected and repalced in Hackham

Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs share many of the mechanical issues they see in their Hackham workshop that can occur in your vehicle and why it's important to have your car regularly serviced. 

These are issues 'you should be aware of' to keep your car running in the best condition.

The main role the TIMING BELT (also known as Cam Belt) is to control the timing and sequence of when the valves to the cylinders open and close. 

To do that, it makes sure that the crankshaft and the camshaft rotate in sync.

The engine’s camshaft controls the valves, letting fuel and air in and out.

The crankshaft moves the pistons up and down at the same time.

These 2 actions must be synchronised to avoid damage to the valves, pistons or other engine parts.

It is important to replace the Timing Belt at the correct interval, whether by kilometres, or time.

The following photo's are of a severely cracked Timing Belt that was due for replacement 12 months prior, but had not reached the kilometre interval. This belt could have snapped at any time and without warning.

If the cam belt snaps while you are driving, the engine could seize up, causing steering and brakes to fail. The pistons can hit the valves in the cylinders, damaging the engine resulting in a very costly repair.

Normal engine combustion creates gases, water vapor, fuel fragments and acids inside the engine. These are held in suspension in the motor oil. If the oil is changed at regular intervals, most of the sludge particles are drained away with the used oil.

Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs share many of the common issues they deal with on a regular basis in their Hackham automotive workshop.

Common mechanical maintenance issues you should be aware of that can affect your vehicles performance.

CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE is usually caused due to no engine oil in the system. This is a major safety issue, as this damage will happen while the car is occupied and moving.

Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs recently diagnosed and repaired a vehicle which had this exact situation occur. We explain what happened to the engine.

The big end bearing turns the reciprocal motion of the piston into the rotating motion of the crankshaft. It has a bearing lining the inner circumference, which is made up of two pieces that slot together. There’s also a hole in the main body of the con rod, through which oil is supplied to keep the bearing lubricated. The bearing is made of a softer material than the rod itself. If the bearing is allowed to wear excessively - something which can happen if oil levels are too low - the bearing will be compromised, allowing for the big end to move around more than it’s supposed to, producing a knocking sound. If the bearing is not replaced, a rod failure will eventually happen, possibly with the rod splitting between the big and small ends. This will result in the crank smashing one half of the broken part through the crankcase. 

The steel con rod,  is often subjected to large and repetitive forces:
- shear forces due to the angle between the piston and the crankpin, 
- compression forces as the piston moves downwards, and 
- tensile forces as the piston moves upwards.

Failure of a con rod often forces the broken rod through the side of the crankcase and thereby rendering the engine irreparable.

Catastrophic Damage can be avoided by regularly checking engine oil levels and having oil leaks repaired. If in any doubt about your car's health contact us and make a booking to have your vehicle inspected.

What can cause Catastrophic Damage to your Car?

Log Book Servicing is a proactive approach to car maintenance where regular inspections and small fixes keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently to prevent small problems turning into major damage and issues which could otherwise be very costly to repair.

Every passenger car (and most commercials vehicles) should be issued with a “Log Book” by the manufacturer, which lays out the specified timing and agenda for your regular log book services. You should keep your log book in your glove box for reference and recording any details, but Dave Hopkins Auto Repairs can also refer to our database to get the required information if you've misplaced your book.

The schedule of the service will be a combination of both time or distance.

You may be tempted to delay your next log book service because your car is probably still driveable and it may not have reached BOTH the time and distance measures. While you obviously need to find availability in your budget and schedule, don't delay too long because wear and tear on the car will increase exponentially and could lead to damage which is many times more expensive than the log book service would have been.

Every car is different and the agenda for each service changes according to the schedule, which is why each vehicle is issued with a log book.

Here are some examples of what can be included:
