Welcome to the world of car suspension systems, where the art of a smooth and comfortable ride is crafted with precision. If you're driving through the undulating streets of Crafers, you need to ensure your vehicle's suspension is in top-notch condition. At Crafers Auto Service and Repair, we specialise in keeping your journey comfortable and safe with our comprehensive suspension services. Understanding Your Car's Suspension System The suspension system of a car is like the unsung hero working behind the scenes. It supports the vehicle's weight, absorbs shocks from the road, and maintains tyre contact, ensuring stability and handling. It's a complex network of components, including springs, shock absorbers, struts, control arms, and linkages, all working together to provide a smooth ride. Key Components of a Suspension System Springs: These bear the vehicle's weight and absorb energy from road impacts. Whether coil, leaf, or torsion bar springs, each plays a critical role in smoothing out your ride. Shock Absorbers and Struts: These dampen the energy from the springs, preventing your car from bouncing excessively after hitting a bump. They ensure tyres remain in contact with the road. Control Arms and Linkages: These components connect the wheels to the frame, allowing for controlled movement while ensuring stability and alignment. Common Suspension Problems Even the best suspension systems can encounter issues over time. Some common problems include: Worn-out Shock Absorbers: If you notice a bumpy ride or hear unusual noises, your shock absorbers might be due for replacement. Broken Springs: A sagging vehicle or uneven tyre wear can indicate damaged springs. Misaligned Wheels: Poor alignment can lead to steering problems and uneven tyre wear. Worn Bushings and Bearings: These can cause excessive noise and poor handling. Why Choose Crafers Auto Service and Repair for Suspension Services?

Your vehicle’s engine is made up of hundreds of complex components that work together to ensure your vehicle starts and runs properly. But over time, these components can wear out, resulting in a loss of performance and fuel economy. The technicians at Crafers Auto Service and Repair are trained to work on today’s high-tech engines to help maintain your vehicle and extend its life. Tune Ups A standard tune-up at the suggested maintenance interval will make an engine easier to start, improve fuel economy, lower emissions and restore lost power. From fixing a fuel system problem to helping you prevent one, we’re here to keep your engine “tuned-up” and ready to go. Signs it may be time for a tune-up a decrease in fuel economy a noticeable loss in power engine running “rough” or stalling when at a stop engine “knocking” when accelerating engine running-on after the ignition is turned off check/service engine light remaining on after start-up Timing Belt Maintenance A timing belt is a precision component that maintains critical synchronisation to keep valve operation matched to piston position. On some engines, the timing belt also drives other components, such as the oil pump and water pump. If the timing belt is not inspected regularly and replaced when it shows signs of deterioration or at the manufacturers scheduled recommendation, the belt could break, leaving you stranded and possibly causing major engine damage. Check with your qualified Crafers Auto Service and Repair technician about timing belt maintenance. As proud members of the MTA, IAME and an RAA Approved Repairer, you and your vehicle are in good hands with the team at Crafers Auto Service and Repair. Call us today for more information.

Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.
