One of the main roles of your suspension is to make sure your car is smooth on the road.
A bumpy or noisy ride is an obvious sign that your vehicle’s suspension needs to be attended too.
If you feel a bounce on the road while driving or hear a knocking noise than A & S Parts and Mechanical Services is the workshop for you.
Does your car pull to one side when driving?
Difficulty when steering?
Do you feel all the bumps on the road?
Is your car drifting or pulling when taking a turn?
Brake pads and shoes on vehicles are important as they allow you to stop. The job of the brake pads/shoes
and disc/drum is to create the resistance needed between your tyres and the road to stop your vehicle.
The brake system on a motor vehicle is considered a critical safety item according to the Retail Motor Industry Organization (RMI).
Your Clutch allows you to change gears and your Gearbox oil keeps your clutch lubricated at all times.
If by change your clutch fails. or starts to fail there could be multiple reasons as to why.
If you are experiencing a burning smell, difficulty selecting gears, or
a slipping or sticky clutch contact A & S Parts and Mechanical Services so we can assist you.
If your Cambelt or Timing chain fail your engine will suffer damage.
This type of damage is repaired with either an engine overhaul, or an engine replacement.
A & S Parts and Mechanical Services knows how expensive these repairs can be, so contact us and we will be able
to advise you when they need to be replaced.
Oil has two man jobs:
The first is to remove all the dirt and contaminants from inside your engine. If the contaminants are left there inside the engine, blockages could occur which could prevent oil from reaching certain parts of your engine.
The second is to absorb heat. Inside your engine are a number of moving parts, these parts move together causing friction which ultimately gives off heat. The oil absorbs this heat cooling the engine down which prevents overheating.
As the oil collects contaminants and heat, over time it starts to age and becomes thicker. If the oil is not replaced, it will turn into sludge. This sludge will cause oil starvation and your engine will seize.
Your oil filter is designed to help remove as much of the contaminants as possible while your oil circulates through your engine. By removing some of the contaminants your oil lasts slightly longer and this prevents any unwanted damage.
For your engine to work correctly your pistons need to move up and down. This process requires a mixture of air and fuel to create a combustion/explosion that pushes your pistons up and down.
Your air filter is there to remove any dirt and debris before the air reaches the inside of your engine. If your air filter becomes clogged it will heavily restrict the air flow. This causes the air and fuel ratio to be incorrect and incomplete combustion will occur. You may also experience a decrease in power when accelerating, engine wear, and possibly even a higher fuel consumption.
A cabin filters main role is to prevent any dust, pollen or debris from flowing into your car’s interior through the vents/AC. This creates a more comfortable experience for the driver as well as the passengers.
The second job the cabin filter has, is to stop your vents and AC from becoming blocked by leaves, small twigs or sand. Without a cabin filter that debris will flow into your car’s interior or possibly get stuck behind the vents/AC.
Should your cabin filter become clogged, air will be unable to flow smoothly through. And you will experience little to no air flow, a musty odour, or a whistling noise. If you experience any of these, we recommends that your replace your cabin filter. By doing so you will not only correct the issues above but also improve the quality of air that is flowing into your vehicle.
Fuel is manufactured clean. However, as it is transferred to a delivery truck and ends up sitting in a storage tank at a gas station, it becomes contaminated with debris. This contaminated fuel is then pumped into your car when you fill up at a filling station.
The fuel filter, filters out the contaminants from the fuel before it reaches your injectors. By doing so this prevents your fuel injectors from becoming blocked which increases fuel economy and vehicle performance.
If your fuel filter becomes blocked, less fuel will be able to reach your injectors which may cause issues with the starting of your vehicle. You may also experience less engine power while driving, poor acceleration and/or higher fuel usage. All of these issues may cause your car to break down or suffer critical damage.
All of this can be avoided if you replace your fuel filter at the correct service interval.
Your spark plugs are located at the top of the cylinder head. They are designed to create a spark that ignites an air and fuel mixture to create an explosion. The spark moves across a gap, the length of this gap ensures that the ignition and combustion happen at the correct time. The explosion pushes your pistons up and down which in turn starts your engine allowing you to drive.
There are two reasons why you will experience a misfire while driving, and both are related to your spark plugs. 1) Your spark plugs are constantly exposed to extreme heat and pressure and as they age the heat causes the gap to widen. If the gap becomes to big the combustion timing will be incorrect. Or 2) They develop a build-up of fuel additives or excess oil on the tip. This is from being in contact with the air/fuel mixture which could lead to an early ignition.
Changing your spark plugs will increase your fuel efficiency, create a smooth and easy starting experience, reduce harmful emissions coming from your exhaust and create consistent combustion. By not replacing your spark plugs your car will either not start, struggle to start, or have almost no power under acceleration.
If your car pulls to one side when driving the problem could be your tires, shocks, or brakes.
The first step will be to check your tires. Make sure your tires are inflated correctly, because over or under inflated tires can cause instability when driving. If this has been checked and the problem persists, check the wear on your tires.
If you notice that your tires are wearing unevenly, we recommend you have A & S Parts and Mechanical Services check your vehicle to make sure there is no wear on any of your suspension components.
When driving at low speeds and your steering wheel feels stiff, it might mean there is an issue with your suspension. However, stiff steering could also mean a low level of power steering fluid, a faulty power steering pump, a leaking power steering rack or even worn-out control arm bushes.
It is dangerous to drive if your steering is not working properly. We recommend that if you feel any signs of difficulty steering that you have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
One of the main roles of your suspension is to make sure your car is smooth on the road. A bumpy ride is an obvious sign that your vehicle’s suspension needs to be attended too. By ‘bumpy ride’ we are referring to when you go over a pothole or bump in the road and your entire car’s body ‘bounces’. If you experience this, you must have your shocks and struts checked by a qualified mechanic.
Many times, when taking a corner, you may notice your car drifting or pulling from side to side. Drifting or pulling could be a sign that your tyres, suspension, wheel alignment or braking system could be faulty.
The first step would be to check your tyres for any high or low spots or uneven wear. If your tyres do not seem to be the problem, it is best to have a trusted repair company such as A & S Parts and Mechanical Services look at your vehicle and advise you further.
