Anonymous on Word of Mouth Online At Andrews Autos I am not treated as a (typical) female. The mechanics explain things that I may not know and even show me the difference with the old part and new part and advise if something else needs repairs. Friendly great service, help on the spot for emergencies and the mechanics will transport you home when needed!

Your electronic fuel injection (EFI) system is designed to rapidly deliver fuel to the engine in a highly efficient manner, helping your vehicle to run smoothly, at peak performance and using the minimum amount of fuel. Symptoms of an EFI problem include the smell of fuel in the car, idling roughly, problems with starting and frequent stalling. If you suspect you have a problem, bring your vehicle in for a no obligation inspection before it gets any worse. We are located in Pakenham and also serve customers from the surrounding areas. Our various EFI services include items such as; Diagnostics, testing and inspection Repairs and replacements Cleaning your Throttle valve, fuel filter and fuel injector Checking sensors Checking engine control unit (ECU) Here's a bit more info about EFI problems and about how we diagnose and fix problems with your EFI; We use special computer Diagnostic equipment to test your car's ECU (electronic control unit). The ECU is basically a central computer which controls (amongst other things) the fuel injection process by taking information from the many sensors spread throughout the vehicle and making “decisions” based on pre-programmed inputs. The ECU can ‘self-diagnose' faults and send out a special fault code which our diagnostic scan equipment is able to extract and interpret. Quite often, the ECU is being given ‘wrong' information by faulty sensors or other environmental factors and this is when we have to call upon our expert knowledge and advanced diagnostic training to correctly identify the problem. Electronic probe testing and visual inspections can be made of your car's sensors, throttle valve, fuel filter, fuel pump and fuel injectors to make sure they are working correctly Any leaks must be located and fixed without delay - Air leaks will seriously affect performance and fuel economy and can cause severe damage to engine components and quite obviously we don't want fuel leaking out anywhere! Over time, Fuel lines, filters and valves can become clogged with contaminants or tank sediments so they'll need to be cleaned or replaced. Where necessary components can be unclogged using special flushing compounds. If any sensors or the lines connecting them to the ECU are damaged they'll need to be fixed or replaced. While your car technically might be able to function without some of these sensors, they all keep track of information that is vital to the efficiency, performance and safety of your vehicle so your ECU will usually not let you run the vehicle until they are fixed and it will often send the vehicle into a state of basic operation known as ‘limp mode' For a high quality Fuel Injection Service at a competitive price, contact Andrews Autos or book online.

Your vehicle's suspension system is vital for ensuring a smooth and secure drive. At Andrews Autos in Pakenham, we specialise in delivering high-quality suspension repair services, covering everything from minor adjustments to extensive repairs. Key Components of a Suspension System Knowing the parts of your car's suspension system can help you identify potential issues. Important components include: Springs: These help absorb shocks from the road. Shock Absorbers/Dampers: These control spring movement to maintain a smooth ride. Control Arms: These link the wheel hub and steering knuckle to the car's frame, allowing up-and-down movement. Bushings: These are small rubber or polyurethane components that minimise friction between metal parts. Struts: These combine a shock absorber and spring to support the vehicle's weight and enhance stability. Signs of Suspension Problems Regular checks of your car's suspension system are crucial for safe driving. Indicators that you may need an inspection include: Uneven tyre wear: This might indicate misalignment or worn suspension parts. Unusual noises: Clunking or knocking sounds could signal worn bushings or other suspension issues. Excessive bouncing: If your vehicle continues to bounce after a bump, the shock absorbers or struts might be failing. Steering difficulties: Pulling to one side or steering challenges may be due to a failing suspension system. The Benefit of Full Control Arm Replacement A common suspension problem is bushing wear and tear. While replacing the bushing alone might seem economical, opting for a complete control arm replacement has significant benefits. A new control arm includes fresh bushings and ball joints, which can greatly improve the durability and longevity of your suspension. At Andrews Autos, we suggest this thorough approach to ensure your vehicle's suspension is robust and dependable. Advantages of In-House Wheel Alignment Services At Andrews Autos, we provide in-house wheel alignment services, which are crucial for maintaining your vehicle’s suspension. Proper wheel alignment not only ensures even tyre wear and prolongs tyre life, but it also reduces unnecessary strain on your suspension components. Misaligned wheels can lead to excessive wear on your suspension, resulting in expensive repairs later. Our advanced wheel alignment service ensures your vehicle runs smoothly and safely, giving you peace of mind on the road. Why Opt for Andrews Autos? Expert Technicians: Our experienced technicians are skilled in diagnosing and repairing suspension systems. Comprehensive Services: We handle everything from minor tweaks to full control arm replacements. Quality Parts: We use top-quality parts to ensure your suspension system is reliable and long-lasting.

Your car's safety and roadworthiness is dependent on the vehicle's ‘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. Know when to get a Service 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; Steering Wheel Vibration or pulsing Nose diving and swerving - bonnet dips when braking or slowing down Car veers in side winds Car rocks and rolls over bumps and doesn't hug bends when cornering Uneven tyre wear Makes a rattling noise Clunking over bumps Bouncing, dipping and diving 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. Why work with us?

How's your "Suspension"?

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.
