Automotive Car Servicing and Repairs in Cheltenham

Dont be fooled by mechanics offering flat rate fixed price car service for all types of car. The simple fact is that every car is different and therefore requires different service requirements. Furthermore, each service interval is specifically designed to address particular areas of a car based on either the kilometres the car has travelled or how old the car is. Mechanics who claim to perform car service for a single "Fixed" price are usually only able to do so by taking shortcuts or not following the full, correct service procedure for a given service interval. In some cases you may even end up paying more than you should to cover for someone else paying less.

But that does not mean you should just hand your car over to a mechanic, cross your fingers and hope they give you a good price at the end either. A good mechanic will have a fair idea of how much each service should cost and give you the information up front. A much fairer method of pricing therefore is to give you a base price for a particular type of service and if anything may cost extra or anything unexpected pops up, inform you immediately, before any further work is carried out on your vehicle.

Keys Road Auto Service offer a range of structured car services with a fixed base price so you know what you will be paying up front. If there is any reason the service will exceed these prices, Damien and the team will tell you immediately so you are not caught by surprise with a big bill for extras after the fact. Some cars will cost more than others to service, and some service intervals require more work and parts than others but you can rest assured the team at Keys Road Auto Service will keep you fully informed.

European and Luxury Car Service in Cheltenham

Your vehicle's differential bushings might be the culprit if they’re old, worn, or cracked. These essential components help control movement in the joints, absorb bumps on the road, and reduce vibrations and noise whether you’re driving forward or reversing. At Keys Road Auto Service, your trusted local mechanic in Cheltenham, we’re well-equipped to handle this and many other automotive issues.  

The Ford Territory and Falcon are undoubtedly two of the most popular vehicles seen on Australian roads. However, both models are known to experience significant wear in certain rear suspension components, particularly the rear differential bushing. This is most common in vehicles that have covered high mileage, possess high horsepower, or are regularly used for towing.

If you’ve noticed a clunking noise or felt a jolt when accelerating or shifting between drive and reverse, it may indicate that your differential bushing is no longer functioning as it should. The rear differential bushing is designed to ensure a smooth and quiet transfer of power from the engine to the rear wheels, making it a vital part of your vehicle’s performance.  

Ignoring this issue can lead to additional wear and tear on other drivetrain and suspension components, potentially resulting in more costly repairs. Acting promptly when symptoms arise is both practical and cost-effective.

At Keys Road Auto Service, your local Repco Authorised Service centre in Cheltenham, our skilled team has extensive experience diagnosing and resolving this problem. We can replace your worn rubber differential bushing with a durable Nolathane alternative, which is specifically engineered to address these concerns and restore your vehicle to peak performance.  

Did you know? Upgraded differential bushings, like Nolathane, not only improve durability but can also enhance handling and stability during cornering or heavy towing—offering additional benefits for your vehicle.

If clunking has become a regular part of your Territory or Falcon experience, don’t wait—get in touch with the team at Keys Road Auto Service today.

Diagnose and repair differential bushing issues at Keys Road Auto Service. Enhance performance, reduce noise, and improve handling with durable Nolathane upgrades. Book your service today!

Smooth Out Clunking in Your Territory or Falcon

At Keys Road Auto Service in Cheltenham, we understand how crucial the transmission is to your vehicle’s performance.  

Your transmission enables your car to shift smoothly between gears, and transmission fluid plays a vital role in making this possible. Not only does it ensure seamless gear changes, but it also protects the internal components of your transmission. While transmission fluid doesn’t naturally decrease with use, it’s still important to check its level regularly. 

Over time, transmission fluid can become contaminated with metal particles and debris, which can reduce the lifespan of your transmission. Replacing a transmission is a costly repair, so maintaining clean, adequate transmission fluid is a smart way to protect your vehicle and avoid unnecessary expenses in the long term. 

Additionally, it’s worth noting that transmissions can suffer from overheating if fluid levels are too low, as the fluid also helps regulate temperature within the system.

At Keys Road Auto Service, we offer a comprehensive 65 Point Vehicle Condition Report with every full car service upon request. This includes inspecting your transmission fluid, and we’ll let you know if it needs replacing or if your vehicle could benefit from a transmission service.

Ensure smooth gear changes with Keys Road Auto Service. We check and maintain transmission fluid as part of our services to keep your vehicle performing at its best. Book a service today!
