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 vehicle serviced by a certified mechanic, according to the schedule and specifications laid out in the vehicle’s logbook.
Even if you have an older vehicle, servicing your vehicle will save you money in the long run, as it’s always preventative maintenance is always cheaper than repairs.
Here at Ron’s Auto Service Centre, our expert mechanics are fully certified to provide logbook servicing for all:
- Petrol Vehicles
- Diesel Vehicles
- LPG Vehicles
- Electric/Hybrid Vehicles
Inspections
If you’re planning on selling or otherwise transferring ownership of a vehicle, you first have to obtain a roadworthy certificate. A roadworthy certificate, issued by a licensed tester after a thorough inspection, proclaims that your vehicle meets the minimum safety standards to be legally driven on Victorian roads.
If you’re looking to buy a secondhand car, we would recommend a pre-purchase inspection. This way you know exactly what you’re buying, and can avoid any nasty surprises.
A nasty surprise you should avoid is having your car breakdown out in the middle of nowhere. You can avoid this with a pre-trip inspection before a long camping or road trip, to ensure any issues are found and addressed before you hit the road!
Ron’s Auto Service Centre is a licensed tester and can help you with:
- Roadworthy Certificates
- Pre-Purchase Inspections
- Pre-Trip Inspections
- Modification Plates
Brakes
Your brakes are the most important safety feature your vehicle has. While other safety systems, like airbags, can only reduce the severity of an accident, your brakes can act preventatively. The condition of your brakes is often the deciding factor between an accident and an emergency stop.
Your brakes suffer an astonishing amount of wear, and for this reason we agree with brake manufacturers and recommend you have them checked at least once a year.
Here at Ron’s Auto Service Centre, our expert technicians can help you with:
- Brake Component Replacement (Pads,Rotors,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 responsible for maximising the grip that your tyres exert on the road, so a poor suspension will also increase your stopping distance.
Ron’s Auto Service Centre’s skilled mechanics can help you with:
- Wheel Alignments
- Shocks And Springs
- Wheel Balancing
- Bushing Replacement
- Power Steering
Exhaust Services
While you can count on most people to remember that their car needs petrol, you’d be surprised how many forget the second, equally important fuel for their engine: oxygen.
The exhaust system draws waste gases out of the engine bay, allowing fresh air to enter and fuel the combustion process. Issues with the exhaust can affect your power output and fuel efficiency, so it goes far beyond just a muffler!
Here at Ron’s Auto Service Centre, our expert staff can help you with:
- Exhaust Repairs
- Exhaust Replacement
Air Conditioning
Your air conditioner can dramatically affect your driving experience if it’s malfunctioning, especially considering the wide variety of weather we experience in Victoria. Our team can repair and re-gas air conditioners for all makes and models of vehicle, so that you can drive in comfort once again. To book in for an air conditioner repair, contact our team today.

CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION
As part of the drivetrain, the assembly that transmits power from the engine to the wheels, your transmission is made up of some of the most complicated and intricate machinery in your vehicle. Due to their sophisticated nature, even minor flaws can quickly escalate into costly repairs. If you notice a burning smell after driving, a grinding or clunking noise when changing gears, or a loss in power output, you should have your transmission checked sooner rather than later.
Here at Ron’s Auto Service Centre, our expert staff can help you with:
- Automatic Transmissions
- Manual Transmissions
- Differentials
- CV Joints
- Servicing
- Repairs And Replacement
ENGINE
The engine is the hardest working component in your vehicle. Even with regular maintenance, repairs are sometimes necessary.
Here at Ron’s Auto Service Centre, our skilled technicians can help you with:
- Engine Rebuilds
COOLING SYSTEM
Problems with your cooling system can affect power output, fuel efficiency, and even engine lifespan, as leaking coolant and overheating damages the engine. If these problems are left untreated for too long, they will render your vehicle immobile, with the cost of repairs being comparable to buying a secondhand car!
If your vehicle is running hot, get it checked as soon as you can. Here at Ron’s Auto Service Centre, we can help you with:
- Radiator/Heater Unit Repairs
- Head Gaskets
- Coolant Flush
- Thermostat Check And Replacement
AUTO ELECTRICAL
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 notifying you of serious issues (that’s what the check engine light is about!)
Ron’s Auto Service Centre’s skilled auto electricians can help you with:
- Diagnostic Scans
- Component Test And Replacement ( Battery, Alternator, etc.)
- Accessory Installation
