New Car Warranties … the Facts.

MJ Mechanical-Rokeby can service your new car while keeping your dealership warranty intact.

To provide you with an instruction about recommended service intervals, procedures and inspection points, manufacturers issue a Log Book with every new car you buy. 

Yes! To enjoy that new car aura longer, you should definitely take your car in for regular inspections. The Log Book instructs how often, when and what should be serviced, inspected and replaced on your new car, according to the people who actually made the vehicle.

By taking your vehicle to MJ Mechanical-Rokeby, you make sure that your car is properly serviced and maintained "by the book". Service intervals are both time and distance based, and time is more important. The time passed between service centre visits means the oil and filters are near the end of their economical performance life, even if the indicated distance has not yet been covered - as acids, water and sludge build up quickly, especially on short commutes. Leaving the car unattended for too long will significantly decrease the expluatation time of your car and even may reduce the vehicle maneuvering experience by lesser effectiveness of lubrication, cleaning and engine cooling.

For Log Book Servicing that keeps your car warranty intact you have the right to go to any service centre who employs fully qualified mechanics and technicians, uses quality parts and performs services meeting manufacturer's specifications.

All of our mechanics at MJ Mechanical-Rokeby are fully trained with most modern vehicle technology and diagnostic technique knowledge. Our mechanics work always meets strict quality guidelines, we use quality Repco parts and in addition to your New Car Warranty, all of our work is covered by the Repco Nationwide Warranty. With hundreds of models on Australian roads, our regularly updating Auto Tech repair database provide specifications, wiring diagrams and service layouts for all. Looking forward to see you at MJ Mechanical-Rokeby!

As the main role of tyres is to keep your car in contact with the road, they play a vital role in the safety and stopping power of your car.

Regular car servicing will keep your car in good condition and having the tyres checked at the same time can help you be aware of the condition of your tyres while alerting you of any potential problems. Your MJ Mechanical-Rokeby mechanic can also let you know if your car would benefit from a wheel alignment or wheel balancing. They are relatively low cost solutions and can greatly improve your driving experience as well as overall vehicle safety.

Why get tyre and wheel services from MJ Mechanical-Rokeby?

MJ Mechanical-Rokeby are independently owned and operated and known locally for our honest service, years of experience and knowledge. We have a range of tyres and specialist equipment to perform your new tyre fitting or wheel alignment and balance. All our work is backed by the Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty.

While checking your tyres is something you can do yourself, as professionals MJ Mechanical-Rokeby can check out the internal condition of your tyres as well as the entire outside surface and they are well aware of the correct methods of disassembly, repair and reassembly, along with any manufacturer or legal requirements involved.

MJ Mechanical-Rokeby can also advise you if there are any problems with your tyres, your wheel alignment, tyre balance or other areas of your car affecting your tyres such as brakes or suspension which you should be aware of to protect you and your vehicle, including the tyres themselves.

Tyres eventually wear out over time, an unavoidable process which is quickened by hard braking and regular high speed driving as well as uneven road surfaces. Unless there are problems causing uneven tyre wear or bald spots or there is other significant damage, the depth of the tread on the tyre is usually the best indicator your tyres are due for replacement. Although the legal minimum tread depth varies, a good rule of thumb is when tread depth is approaching 1.6mm you should think about buying new tyres.

Tread on a tyre is very important as this is where you get the traction to both move the car forwards and also the friction required to stop safely and efficiently. Tread is also the method by which water is dissipated away from the tyre surface in a way which prevents aquaplaning and maintaining maximum grip and control. The less tread depth you have, the less control you will have in wet driving conditions.

Tyres generally last between six to ten years and the better you look after them the more chance there is that it will be the latter rather than the former.

Tyre pressure is not just important to ensure you get the best fuel economy from your vehicle. Incorrect tyre pressure is a common cause of tyre damage as pressure and wear is directed at areas of the tyre not designed to take it. Perhaps most importantly the pressure of your tyres can have a direct impact on the driveability, and therefore the safety, of the vehicle.

You should check your tyres yourself on a regular basis to ensure they are in good condition. Be on the lookout for bald or flat spots, tears and cuts in the surface of the tyre and any foreign objects likely to cause problems such as stones, nails and other road debris. You should also have a tyre professional give them a check on a regular basis as they have the knowledge and equipment to properly check the entire tyre and may spot issues you simply don't see.

Tyres will suffer from wear and tear at varying rates. The front and rear tyres for example will wear at different rates as front tyres generally carry more weight than rear ones, meaning faster heat build-up and therefore increased wear. The tyres on either side of your car will also tend to wear at different rates to those on the opposite side.

Having your tyres rotated regularly, every 8000 to 10,000 km for example, can help to ensure that all of your tyres wear at a similar rate and in the same places. MJ Mechanical-Rokeby will be happy to undertake this task for you and inspect each tyre as they do it, letting you know of any issues that might present a problem or you should otherwise be aware of. We can undertake all types of tyre rotation for you including Cross rotation, straight rotation, 5 wheel rotation and four wheel drive rotation.

Will a regular wheel alignment or balance help look after tyres?

Regular wheel alignment helps to protect against premature or uneven tyre wear, increases the safety and handling of your vehicle and improves ride performance and fuel efficiency. Wheel balancing helps to minimise vibration through the wheels, thereby minimising premature or uneven tyre wear. Either wheel service (or both) will go a long way in helping to maximise the life of your tyres along with safety and handling benefits.

No matter how well you care for your tyres there will come a time when the only option for maintaining safety, comfort and fuel economy of your car is to have the tyres replaced, such as when they have reached the minimum tread depth.
