You may think that your engine has a diagnostic check done when it is serviced. This is not the case unless you specifically ask for one, or the engine warning light happens to be on at the same time.
All cars should have an engine diagnostic check annually, as this can help the car run at its best and help prevent the engine warning light coming on in the first place.
Prevention is cheaper than cure!
Our technicians are specialists in the diagnostics of all makes of vehicles, both imported and local. We will look at any manufacturer to complete any diagnostic or tuning work required.

Drive Shafts & Rear Differentials
There are different types of drivelines depending on whether your vehicle has rear wheel drive, front wheel drive , four-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive.
On a rear wheel, four wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle you will have a drive shaft.
The drive shaft connects to the transmission/transfer case and differential through a series of universal joints.
Most universal joints are sealed and don’t require periodic lubrication. However, it’s extremely important to have them inspected. On a front wheel drive vehicle you will have two drive axles, and these drive axles turn your wheels. The drive axle connects to the transaxle and wheel hub assembly through two constant velocity joints.
The constant velocity joints are sealed with a boot and are not serviceable. If the boot tears the cv joint will loose its grease and leave the joint exposed to weather and road debris.
This will eventually damage the joint. If you experience any of the following conditions, you may have a problem with your drive shaft, universal joints or CV joints!

Wheel Balancing & Wheel Alignment
This is not just a Wheel Balancer!, it will Fix Steering Vibrations and its fantastic on 4WDs.
Everyone with a 4WD needs to speak to us about getting rid of that typical wheel/tyre vibration.
Correct wheel alignment is essential to prevent premature and uneven tyre wear, issues with handling and vehicle safety.
When wheel Balancing on some cars, a traditional wheel balance can't fix steering wheel vibration caused by excessive wheel and tire runout and force variation.
This video demonstrates wheel and tire runout and force variation. Learn how the Road Force wheel balancer by Hunter Engineering Company road tests the wheel as if it is rolling down the road to correct common tire vibration problems. Hunter Engineering Company is the leader in alignment systems, wheel and tire service, brake service and inspection lane equipment.
Hunter equipment is approved and used by vehicle manufacturers, automobile and truck dealers, tire dealers and service facilities around the world.

Manual & Automatic Transmissions
The transmission system is usually ignored until there is a major problem. Many people who notice their car is not running properly ignore the problem with the hope that the symptoms with work themselves out. This could result in more extensive damage to your vehicle as the problem becomes more severe.
And transmissions fail not only for mechanical or hydraulic reasons, but now electronic failures have been added to the list. A transmission technician must now be a complete power train shop because of the interaction of the engine controls and the transmission operation.
Ace tyres Auto Care offers a complete range of transmission services, ranging from transmission repair to transmission replacement. If your car’s transmission needs repairs or replacement, you've come to the right place.

Suspension & Steering
Your car's suspension system is an intricate network of (usually) cooperating components designed to give you a smooth, even, stable ride. Since the suspension is ground zero when it comes to road abuse, the parts wear out, and even break. If your car doesn't seem to ride like it used to, you may have a problem down below.
So your vehicle’s steering and suspension is responsible for providing optimal ride comfort and handling performance. And because normal road conditions can cause the shocks, struts, and springs of your suspension system to weaken over time, these worn suspension parts may reduce vehicle stability and driver control. They may also accelerate tire wear.
And because replacement of steering and suspension parts may change existing wheel angles, a wheel alignment is recommended with this service.

Emissions & Engine Control Systems
Your car’s emission system keeps the engine running cleanly and efficiently in all sorts of operating conditions. If your car’s engine isn’t performing up to par or the “Check Engine” light goes on, have it inspected immediately. Failure to do so can reduce your kilometres per litre of fuel, or cause your vehicle to pollute.
Your car’s emission system also controls the emissions, exhaust and pollutants using an array of sensors, computerized engine controls and the exhaust components.
The emission system substantially reduces harmful gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and prevents harmful gasoline vapors from escaping at the fuel tank.At TyrePlus Auto Care, we have the very latest in test equipment and our auto technicians are skilled in all types of servicing & repairs of emission systems.

Lubrication & Fluid Systems
The brand of motor oil isn't so important as its viscosity grade (10W-30, for example) is important. We use only what the owner's manual specifies for every vehicle we work on and service.
Using the wrong oil can lead to reduced lubrication and shorter engine life, so this is a critical point to consider when trusting your car to any mechanic or service tech.
At Ace tyres Auto Care, our technicians are fanatical about their oils and the correct application in all the vehicles they work on.
