Logbook Servicing

Whenever you purchase a new vehicle, the manufacturer provides you with a warranty that covers the cost of any parts failures. This warranty is only valid if you have your car serviced by a certified mechanic, according the schedule and specifications laid out in the vehicle’s logbook.

Here at Mornington Car & Tyres Services, our mechanics are fully certified to provide logbook servicing for all:

• Petrol vehicles
• Diesel vehicles
• Electric and hybrid vehicles

RWC & Vehicle Inspections

Before you sell or otherwise transfer registration of a vehicle, you have to ensure it has a valid Roadworthy Certificate (RWC). The RWC, issued by a licensed tester after a thorough inspection, ensures your vehicle meets the safety standards to legally drive on Victorian roads.

If you’re thinking about buying a secondhand vehicle, we would recommend bringing it in for a pre-purchase inspection. This way you know exactly what you’re buying, and can avoid any nasty surprises.

When you’re planning a long road trip, or camping trip, we would urge you to consider a pre-trip inspection. This way any issues with your vehicle can be discovered and fixed before you set off, and you can enjoy your trip with peace of mind.

Mornington Car & Tyres Services is a licensed inspection station, and our expert team can help you with:

• Roadworthy certificates
• Pre-purchase inspections
• Pre-trip inspections

Brake Services

Your brakes are the most important safety feature that your vehicle has. While other safety systems, like airbags, can reduce the severity of an accident, your brakes can act preventatively. The condition of your brakes can often mean the difference between an accident and an emergency stop. Your brakes also suffer an astonishing amount of wear, bringing over a ton of material to a stop from high speeds, multiple times a day! For this reason we agree with brake manufacturers that you should have your brakes checked at least once a month.

Mornington Car & Tyres Services’ expert staff can help you with:

• Brake component replacement (pads, rotors and drums)
• Brake component machining
• Brake hose repairs
• Brake restorations

Steering And Suspension

Faults and flaws in your steering and suspension affect handling and ride comfort, causing issues such as play in the steering wheel, body lean through corners and vibrations at speed. Your suspension is also responsible for maximising the grip that your tyres exert on the road, so a poor suspension will also increase your stopping distance.

Mornington Car & Tyres Services’ skilled technicians can help you with:

• Wheel alignments
• Shocks and springs
• Wheel balancing
• Bushing replacement
• Power steering
• Lift kits and 4WD upgrades

Exhaust Services

While you can count on most people to remember that their car needs petrol, most people forget the other fuel your engine needs: oxygen. Your exhaust draws waste gasses out of the engine bay and allows fresh air to enter, fueling the combustion process.

Your exhaust has such a fundamental effect on your engine’s operation, that it’s one of the most cost-effective upgrades to make for engine performance.

Mornington Car & Tyres Services’ expert engineers can help you with:

• Exhaust repairs
• Exhaust replacement
• Exhaust upgrades

Air Conditioning

Your air conditioning is unique in that it degrades more from disuse than from use. The rubber tubing and seals dry up and crack, allowing the refrigerant gas to leak out and rob your aircon of its cooling power.

Here at Mornington Car & Tyres Services, we can fully repair your vehicle’s air conditioning, and can help you with:

• Air conditioning servicing
• Air conditioning repairs
• Air conditioning replacement
• Air conditioning regas

Clutch And Transmission

As part of the drivetrain, the assembly that transmits power from the engine to the wheels, the transmission is made up of some of the most intricate and complex machinery in your vehicle. Due to its sophisticated nature, even minor flaws can quickly escalate into costly repairs. If you notice a burning smell after driving, or a reduced power output, get your transmission checked sooner rather than later.

Here at Mornington Car & Tyres Services, our expert staff can help you with:

• Automatic transmissions
• Manual transmissions
• Differentials
• CV Joints
• Servicing
• Repairs and replacement

Engine Services

Your engine is the hardest working component in your vehicle. It has to contain thousands of explosions per minute, and even with regular maintenance, repairs are sometimes needed.

Here at Mornington Car & Tyres Services, our skilled technicians can help you with:

• Engine rebuilds
• Engine reconditioning
• Engine testing
• Engine blocks
• Cylinder heads
• Camshafts
• EFI diagnostics

Cooling System

If your vehicle’s cooling system is malfunctioning, it can affect fuel efficiency, power output, and even engine lifespan, as leaking coolant and overheating damages the engine. If these problems are left untreated for long enough, they will render your vehicle immobile, with the cost of repairs being comparable to buying a secondhand car! If you notice your vehicle is running hot, we recommend you get it checked sooner rather than later.

Here at Mornington Car & Tyres Services, our expert mechanics can help you with:

• Radiator and heater unit repairs
• Head gaskets
• Coolant flush
• Thermostat check and replacement

As modern vehicles have increased in complexity, more and more functionality is being governed by the onboard auto electrical network. This network handles everything from playing music and measuring fuel consumption to assisting with braking and gear changes, even monitoring your vehicle and letting you know if a serious flaw is detected.

Here at Mornington Car & Tyres Services, our talented auto electricians can help you with:

• Alternators and starter motors
• Battery check and replacement
• Component test and replacement
