BRAKE SERVICES

Your brakes are the most important safety feature your vehicle has. While other safety systems mitigate the damage caused by collisions, well-maintained brakes can actually prevent an accident altogether. Due to the stop-start nature of urban driving in Adelaide, your brakes suffer a surprising amount of wear, and we recommend you have them checked regularly.

Here at Spag’s Automotive we can provide the following brake services

• Brake component replacement
• Brake component machining
• Brake hose replacement
• Brake restorations

If you haven’t had your brakes checked in a while, give us a call today!

STEERING & SUSPENSION

Faults in your vehicle’s steering and suspensions dramatically affect your ride comfort,  causing body lean around corners and play in the steering. Your suspension also affects your stopping distance, making it important for safety as well as comfort.

Spags Automotive’s experienced mechanics can help you with:

• Shock absorbers and coil springs
• Bushing replacements
• Power steering repair or replacement
• Lift kits
• 4WD upgrades

If your teeth rattle on bumpy roads, get in touch with us today!

AIR CONDITIONING

Driving in the Australian summer without air conditioning can be almost intolerable. If you haven’t used your AC in a while, you might be surprised to find out that it will degrade more from disuse than overuse. The aircon system is made up of a multitude of rubber seals and tubing that dry out and crack if not used frequently, allowing the refrigerant gas to leak out, robbing your air conditioning of its cooling power.

Here at Spags Automotive we can replace faulty compressors and condensors, check your systems for leaks and replace any cracked tubes or seals. Once we’re convinced the system is airtight, we’ll regas it with refrigerant.

Don’t lose your cool this summer, contact us today!

CLUTCH & TRANSMISSION

The drivetrain consists of some of the most precise and sophisticated pieces of machinery in your vehicle. Due to the sophisticated nature of this machinery, any minor flaws or damage can quickly proliferate into very costly and time-consuming repairs. If you have trouble changing gears, hear a grinding or clunking noise when you do so, or notice burning smells coming from the engine bay or leaking fluid, then you may have a problem with your vehicle’s drivetrain.

Spags Automotive can help you with:

• Clutch repairs
• Automatic and manual transmission repairs
• Differential repairs

If you’ve noticed any of the warning signs mentioned above, give us a call today!

RADIATORS & COOLING SYSTEMS

Flaws in your vehicle’s cooling system not only increases fuel consumption but actually causes damage to the gasket head, cylinders and pistons through leaking coolant and overheating.

Here at Spags Automotive we can help you with the following cooling system problems

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

If your vehicle is running hot, talk to one of our experts today!

DIAGNOSTICS & AUTO ELECTRICAL

With the increasing complexity of modern vehicles, on-board electronic systems are becoming more and more sophisticated, performing tasks that range from monitoring fuel and ignition, to performing complex calculations and altering brake pressure mid-brake to prevent skidding.  Problems with the auto electrical system can, therefore, range from inconvenient to disabling.

Here at Spags Automotive we can provide the following auto electrical services:

• Battery test and replacement
• Alternators and starter motors
• ECU test and replacement
• Audio systems
• Accessory installations
• Lighting upgrades
• Solar/battery systems
