Are you planning a road trip this holiday season? Whether it's a quick getaway to the countryside or an extended drive across Australia, ensuring your car is road-ready is crucial. Nothing is more disruptive than an avoidable breakdown that can derail your meticulously planned holiday. Before you head out, let's explore the importance of booking your car for a service, especially during busy periods like December, to ensure your vehicle is prepared for a memorable and trouble-free journey.

Conveniently located in Enoggera, Mototech Automotive specialise in car servicing for all makes and models, including four wheel drive, diesel cars and commercial fleet vehicles.

Holidays are an ideal time to explore new destinations and create lasting memories. However, ensuring your vehicle is in peak condition before hitting the road is essential.

1. Oil Level: Ensure your engine oil is at the correct level and in good condition.
2. Tyre Pressure: Check tyre pressure, including the spare tyre, to ensure they are inflated to the recommended levels.
3. Brakes: Test your brakes for responsiveness and inspect the brake pads for wear.
4. Lights: Ensure all lights, including headlights, brake lights, and indicators, are functioning correctly.

These checks are vital to keep your car running smoothly and to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road.

Booking a car service before your holiday trip is even more important. Getting your car checked by a professional automotive technician can help detect potential issues that may arise during your journey. A professional mechanic will perform a comprehensive check of your car, which includes inspecting the engine, transmission, cooling system, suspension, air conditioning, and brakes. Detecting minor issues before they turn into major problems ensures your vehicle's longevity and reduces repair costs in the long run.

Given that December is a busy month for car servicing, it's crucial to book your car service well in advance. Mototech Automotive in Enoggera is often fully booked during this period. If repairs are needed and you haven't scheduled your service early, your travel departure plans could be delayed.

One essential aspect of car servicing before a road trip is an air conditioning inspection and service. With the hot Australian summer, maintaining a comfortable temperature inside your vehicle is crucial. A professional technician can ensure that your air conditioning system is functioning efficiently, providing you with comfort throughout your journey.

Another critical check is the radiator coolant inspection and replacement. The radiator coolant helps keep the engine from overheating, which is especially important during the scorching summer months. Ensuring that your coolant is at the right level and in good condition can prevent engine failures and keep your car running smoothly.

Your car's safety and roadworthiness is dependent on 3 elements: ‘stopping, steering and stability' capabilities.

The suspension and shock absorbers are not just there to give you a smooth ride, they are integral for the correct operation of these three critical capabilities, therefore keeping you, your passengers and other road users safe. Regular servicing and maintenance can help to prevent problems, but if you notice anything amiss, contact us ASAP to get it checked out.

An important part of keeping all aspects of your vehicle working properly is to stick to your regular Log Book servicing schedule. However, if you notice any of the following symptoms you should get your vehicle checked out as soon as possible;

Nose diving and swerving - bonnet dips when braking or slowing down

Car rocks and rolls over bumps and doesn't hug bends when cornering

Our suspension and shock absorber services include inspection, diagnosis, repairs and replacements so we'll have your car fixed and back on the road time. Don't delay, book today.

Some of your suspension & shock absorber's important parts include:

Springs - Springs are designed to absorb energy and there are several different types including leaf, coil, torsion bar or air assisted springs. The springs on different types of cars will be set up to different levels. Luxury cars, for example, may have soft springs to produce a smoother ride but this results in more body movement when the car brakes and corners. Sports cars, on the other hand, tend to have tighter springs which allow for more aggressive driving, including around corners, but also mean a less smooth ride.

Shock absorbers - these dissipate the energy absorbed by the springs. The car would not work properly without the shock absorbers because the springs would cause it to bounce up and down when you go over a bump rather than absorb that bump.

Strut - this is a shock absorber mounted inside a coil spring. Struts do the job of the springs and shock absorbers plus provide additional structural support for the suspension system.

Anti-sway bar - spans the width of the axle and joins the two sides of the suspension together to provide stability to the car while it is moving.

Top Quality: As a part of the Repco Authorised Service Centre network all of the work we perform is backed by the Repco Nationwide Warranty.

The Right Parts: Our mechanics are kept up on all the latest parts thanks to Repco Authorised Service bulletins. Additionally, we have access to the Repco spare parts network which means we can find you the right part at the right price.

The Best Team: Our mechanics are well versed in many different makes and models. From a fleet of vehicles to the family car, we are here for you.

Power Steering Services and Repairs in Enoggera

Finding that your Power steering ain't what it used to be?

Mototech Automotive do clutch services, repairs and replacements for all major makes and models. Bring your vehicle into our workshop in Enoggera and we'll have you back on the road as soon as possible.

The clutch is one of the most important elements of your cars driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to move, but what happens when your vehicle needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop turning but the wheels need to. The clutch is what lets this happen.

The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run.

Some cars have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. A leak in the clutch system can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At Mototech Automotive we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you during our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report - which you can request as part of every car service.

If we discover a problem or leak in your clutch we will include this in our written report or let you know directly if we feel it needs immediate attention.

You should have your clutch looked at if:

What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing?

You notice a Burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle

Your Vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason

Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering

If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it can mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine.

We repair and replace the clutches of many vehicle types every year so we have strong experience in this area

Our mechanics are fully qualified and receive ongoing training to keep up to date with the latest techniques

We are an independently owned local mechanic (NOT a franchise) so when you spend money with us your dollars stay in the local economy

For your peace of mind, our work and parts are backed by the Repco Nationwide Warranty

Inspection and repairs of other clutch elements

Inspection and repairs of related parts in the engine and transmission

Flywheel - stores rotational energy of the engine while the transmission is disengaged

Clutch plate/disk - presses against fly wheel

Pressure plate - pushed into the clutch plate

Throw-out bearing (aka clutch release bearing) - is pressed against the middle of the diaphragm spring to disengage the clutch

Release fork - presses throw-out bearing when clutch pedal is pressed

Diaphragm springs - push pressure plate against clutch disc when foot is off of clutch pedal

Pins (studs) - cause the diaphragm spring to pull the pressure plate away from the clutch disc when centre of spring is pushed in - this releases the clutch from the spinning engine

The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is call us at Mototech Automotive. We can perform Clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Enoggera workshop.

Brake fluid transfers the pressure you put on the brake pedal through to the actual brakes.
Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work. As everyone knows - not having brakes is a huge problem! In fact even slightly affected brakes are very dangerous.


Brake fluid absorbs moisture very easily. Brake fluids are also subject to very high temperatures and so they are designed to have a high boiling point to stop them from boiling and evaporating- when brake fluid has accumulated too much moisture- this lowers its boiling point and it can boil off more easily causing low levels. Low levels of brake fluid affect your braking performance and could mean your car will fail to stop.
Brake Fluid that has absorbed too much moisture will also shorten the life of your braking system including damaging the callipers, wheel cylinders and anti-lock braking systems.

Why is brake fluid replacement necessary?

Your manufacturer's log book will advise how regularly your brake fluid should be changed or flushed, we recommend a drain and replacement every two years however it is wise to have it regularly checked by an expert at every service to make sure the levels are not reducing too fast (a sign of a leak) or that the moisture levels have not reached a point that could be damaging your system.

How often should I replace my brake fluid?

At Mototech Automotive we offer a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report, upon request, with every full car service which includes a written review of your brake fluid, master cylinder, front and back discs and pads, callipers and cylinders and more. This inspection helps to identify any issues in your vehicle which should be addressed and our mechanics will certainly advise you if they feel your vehicle might need a brake fluid replacement, or an out of schedule brake system service or repairs.

Do you check the brake fluids during a car service?

Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work.

Keeping up with your Log Book schedule helps to maintain your statutory rights to a new car warranty.

New Car Warranties … the Facts.

What is a Log Book Service? Every time a new car rolls off the lot it comes with a ‘Log Book.' This Log Book is basically the manufacturers guide to how often vehicle services should be procured. The Log Book also carefully goes over what should be checked, what your cars diagnostic readings should be as well as other important servicing guidelines which remain specific to your individual vehicle.

With all the potential problems that not having your car can bring, it makes sense for you to get any rattling, whirring, other noises or issues looked at before they turn into something more serious. Regular log book or general servicing should prevent unexpected repairs and keep your vehicle running smoothly, efficiently and safely.
