How to maintain your car with a Log Book Service

Its not compulsory to have your car serviced at a dealership to maintain your new car warranty. Over the years a considerable amount of potentially misleading information about new car warranties has been released by various sources, leading to much confusion concerning new car warranties. This confusion is often caused by the new vehicle dealerships themselves. Although rarely provided in writing, many of these dealerships may try to convince you that a new vehicle must be serviced within the dealership or the new car warranty is void. The ACCC have recently moved to stop this misleading activity. Combined Automotive Services are fully qualified to perform expert car servicing that protects your right to a warranty on your new vehicle. so why not call us for a quote or book a service today? Our vehicle inspections, conducted at the beginning of every service, means we will also be checking for warning signs in many components of your vehicle which could be covered under your warranty - allowing you to address these faults while the vehicle is under warranty. We offer value for money and our family business ethic means you can come and talk to the mechanic that works on your car at any time. All of our work is covered by the Repco Nationwide Warranty. Don't let new car dealers fool you into thinking you have to return to the dealership for service to keep your warranty. You have the right to choose who services your car.

Auto Electrical servicing is one of the most important ways of keeping modern cars running efficiently and safely as cars have more electrical components in them than ever before and the list just seems to keep increasing. In addition to the traditional systems such as starter motors and simple systems like radios, the electrical systems of modern cars now need to cope with many more components. Such things as modern safety systems & controls and a range of electronic devices such as navigation systems and various entertainment devices all rely on your auto electrical system to function. Combined Automotive Services offer expert auto electrical services with the following bonuses; Peace of Mind: As a Repco Authorised Service Centre you can rest assured that you will receive the highest level of service, with the attention you are sure to get at a local mechanic. On-Going Training: Our mechanics are at the top of their game. They are kept up to date on the latest tools and techniques thanks to Repco training seminars and service bulletins.

Auto electrical services available at Combined Automotive Services ABS Brake Service Alternator Replacement Battery Cleaning Battery Check Battery Replacement Belt and Hose Check Headlight Replacement Power Steering Service Spark Plug Check Spark Plug Replacement Starter Replacement Auto electrical system: glossary of parts An auto electrical system is much more than the radio and the headlights. There are pistons, combustion chambers and fluid wires which come together to make this system work. To help you better understand the auto electrical system here is a short glossary of some important components. Alternator: Changes the current which comes from the battery into a usable current for the vehicle electrical system. Battery: Main power source for the car. This part interacts with the alternator and ignition to get the car or truck started. Timing Valves: The battery controls the power to the valves which control the optimal functioning of the engine. Combustion Cylinders: Connect the spark plugs and the fuel injections system. The alternator brings a charge to the combustion cylinders where the fuel is atomised and the spark plugs fire to ignite the engine. For auto electrical checks, service or repairs, bring your vehicle to the team at Combined Automotive Services! Our Auto Electrical Faq's may help you decide if you need an auto electrician... What parts of the auto electrical system require maintenance? Battery - The battery provides the power required to start the engine  Alternator - Maintains the charge level in the battery while the car is moving  Starter motor - uses power from the battery to start the engine  Solenoid -administers power from the battery to the starter motor  Voltage Regulator - Ensure the correct voltage level in the system  Fuse Panel - Provides protection for electrical components in the car  Connectors and Wires - connect the electrical system and close circuits  What are the most common problems auto electrical systems can have? Alternator belt - the alternator recharges your battery by harnessing the power generated by the engine by means of a belt and transferring it to the battery. If the belt breaks, loses tension or comes loose the alternator will no longer be able to maintain the charge in the battery  Broken or loose wiring - Electrical current requires a closed circuit to be conducted and the wiring system of your car connects the various electrical systems and provides the circuit. If an important wire comes loose, breaks, wears out or melts you could have a problem using your electrical components or even starting your car. This can be a difficult problem to diagnose  A flat battery - Flat batteries are a common problem and may not be cause for alarm. Accidentally leaving lights or other electrical items on without the engine running is often the cause. Once you have the car going the alternator should once again maintain a good charge. However, if, after driving around or running the engine for a while, the battery goes flat again it means you have a problem elsewhere. The battery itself may need replacing, the alternator could be faulty, the voltage regulator has a problem or even a combination of these  Normal wear and tear - all of your cars parts are susceptible to wear and tear in some form or another. The cars battery, solenoid and voltage regulator are a couple of auto electrical parts known to cause problems due to normal wear and tear  Blown fuses - Fuses in your car are a safety feature designed to protect your electrical components from serious damage from surges and overloads. Provided you are fortunate, a blown fuse will be your only problem when an electrical component of your car is not working. While this can happen occasionally, if it happens too often you should get your cars auto electrical system checked by a qualified professional as there is likely something causing a problem  Car will not start despite having a good battery - The solenoid may not be working correctly and is not allowing a sufficient charge to start the car. The solenoid is a coil of wire around two magnets that administers higher voltage than normal from the battery to the starter motor What are the signs an auto electrical system may need a service? An odd growling or whining noise may indicate a problem with your alternator belt  Dimming or flickering headlights could mean your voltage regulator is having problems  Electrical items such as car stereo, lights, air conditioner and so on are just not working could be as simple as a blown fuse, though they may represent a deeper problem  Hearing a loud clicking noise when turning the ignition key may be linked to a problem with your starter motor  If there is no sound at all when you turn the key (the car doesn't start) - your solenoid could be at fault, particularly if the battery is known to be working correctly  Smelling burning rubber or hot wires could well be a problem with your alternator. Catching this problem early may prevent costly diagnosis of problems later and may even help prevent a fire in the electrical system.

Hey there, just a quick chat to fill you in on a little secret! You have the freedom to pick who gets to pamper your new ride. Don't worry, it won't compromise on prices, as they'll be reasonable. Looking to keep your recent car purchase in tip-top condition, maybe ahead of those end-of-year sales or perhaps gearing up for the holiday season? Well, let's turn you to the experienced pros at Combined Automotive Services in Milton. Purchasing a new car is a big deal and an even bigger investment. Of course, you want to make sure that it stays in the best shape possible. Now, while keeping it spotless inside and out with regular detailing and washing is key, the maintenance story goes beyond this. One essential point to ponder over is choosing the right place for your car servicing.  You would surely want it to be in the hands of a certified expert who'll attend to it according to the manufacturer's guidelines. This means they’ll be using top-notch parts and fluids that are up to manufacturer’s standards. And guess what? Doing all these not only assures you a well-maintained ride but also helps keep the manufacturer's warranty intact. Here's the fun part. No one can tie you down to return your car to the dealer you bought it from for services or repairs. As long as the work on your vehicle is carried out following the manufacturer's guidelines, by a fully qualified expert with the use of premium parts and fluids, your warranty will stay solid. So basically, it’s your call on who gets to service your car!  Turning to a member of the Repco Authorised Service network can check all those boxes for you. Every mechanic at Combined Automotive Services is fully certified, having received training from Auto-Tech, one of Australia's premier automotive tech information and training providers. This means the team is up-to-date with the newest service techniques. Plus, they can work on your new car without worrying about the warranty.  With Repco parts and products, you’re ensured top-tier quality as these products have undergone rigorous Repco quality testing and even come with the Repco Nationwide Warranty for added security. Rest assured, the team at Combined Automotive Services uses only fluids and lubricants meeting the manufacturer’s specs. Keep this little gem in mind - know the difference between statutory and manufacturer warranty. Stay informed and choose wisely for your car's needs! If you already own a new car or are thinking of purchasing one, make sure you clearly understand where your statutory rights begin and end. Make sure you are aware of the distinction between statutory, manufacturer and express warranties to avoid making the wrong choices when it comes to servicing your new car. You are automatically covered by a statutory warranty, also known as a Consumer Guarantee, under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and this statutory protection can never be outweighed by manufacturer or express warranties (which are offered by the car maker and car dealer respectively). A lack of disclosure requirements on car dealers at the point of sale regarding these contracts can easily lead the consumer into making a choice to be bound by a long term contract without access to all of the details needed to make a properly informed decision. So when purchasing your new car, be aware of new car dealers who may try to work in “express” or “extended” warranties, often for free. Most of the time these ‘bonus' warranties may include quite definitive restrictions or provisions, and can sometimes seem too good to be true. Many times these arrangements provide little or no additional benefits not already given by the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with a specific car dealer. Such arrangements are very unlikely to point out the potential negative aspects involved with taking a new car back to the dealer for service or repair. This includes what sort of travel time you may need to get your car serviced or longer waiting times due to fewer available service locations or mechanics. Check out our frequently asked questions below for more information on New Car Service and warranties. If you need to know more, the AAAA website and ACCC website have some great information too. New Car Service Frequently asked questions What is a consumer guarantee? Under Australian Consumer Law (ACL), you are protected by a Consumer Guarantee which takes into account purchase price, realistic expectations of when a failure might occur, advertising claims and the conditions under which a vehicle should operate. Previously known as a Statutory Warranty, the Consumer Guarantee does not have a specific time limit associated with it nor can it ever be replaced by a manufacturers warranty, which is in addition to the Consumer Guarantee. What is a manufacturers warranty? Manufacturers warranties are essentially a promise to the buyer that the new vehicle will be free from defects for a specific time and that any such defects will entitle buyers to a repair or other compensation. According to the Competition and Consumer Act (2010), such warranties cannot state that a vehicle must be returned to an authorised dealer for service. What is an express or extended warranty? Often new car dealers will try to include "express" or "extended" warranties, sometimes for free, in the purchase of your new vehicle. These ‘extra' warranties are in addition to the manufacturers warranty and may include quite specific restrictions or provisions, usually in unclear or confusing language. Many of these contracts actually provide little or no additional benefits over and above the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with a specific car dealership. Extended warranties can (and often do) restrict you to a specific dealership, which can have its drawbacks. Can Combined Automotive Services service my new car without voiding the warranty? There is no requirement to service your car at a manufacturer’s dealership to preserve; Any manufacturer’s warranty (that may apply to your vehicle). Any state or territory based statutory warranty (that may apply to your vehicle). Your rights to Consumer Guarantees (formerly known as implied statutory warranties). What steps will Combined Automotive Services take to protect my warranty? Combined Automotive Services are fully qualified to carry out log book servicing, and we ensure all work is performed according to the manufacturer’s specifications, using appropriate quality parts, fluids and lubricants where required - meaning the manufacturer's warranty remains intact. In addition, all work carried out by Combined Automotive Services is backed by the Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty. Can Combined Automotive Services stamp my logbook? Combined Automotive Services can and will stamp your log book to verify the work has been conducted by fully qualified staff according to manufacturer’s specifications, using appropriate quality parts, fluids & lubricants. Will having my car serviced with Combined Automotive Services help maintain the value? It goes without saying that a vehicle that has been well taken care of will maintain its value better than a poorly maintained one. Proof of a regular, properly adhered to service schedule will add further supporting evidence the car is in good condition. In addition to maintaining your warranty with correct service procedures, Combined Automotive Services will stamp your logbook, which can prove invaluable should you ever decide to sell the car. What about extended warranty or service plans? Motor vehicle dealers sometimes offer their own extended (or express) warranties on vehicles. These extra warranties often begin after the manufacturer’s warranty and may stipulate that the vehicle must be serviced by the actual dealer offering the warranty. They are generally within their right to impose this condition, but the buyer should beware, such warranties are not always what they seem. Combined Automotive Services will be happy to advise you on the conditions and relative value before you commit to any service plan. Find out more: New Car Warranty Service Full Car Service
