Logbook Servicing

Whenever you purchase a new vehicle, the manufacturer provides you with a warranty that will recoup you the costs of any parts failures. This warranty is voided if you do not have your vehicle regularly serviced by a certified mechanic, who records and stamps these servicings in your vehicle’s logbook.

Here at Jig-Check Engineering, our fully certified mechanics can provide logbook servicing for all:

• Petrol vehicles
• Diesel vehicles
• LPG vehicles
• Electric/hybrid vehicles

To book your next logbook service with us, get in touch today!

Inspections

If you’re planning on selling or otherwise transferring ownership of a vehicle, you are legally required to procure a Roadworthy Certificate for your vehicle. The Roadworthy Certificate, issued by a licensed tester, ensures that your vehicle meets the safety standards to be legally driven on Victorian roads.

When you’re thinking about buying a second-hand vehicle, we recommend taking it for a pre-purchase inspection. This thorough check of the entire vehicle ensures that you know exactly what you’re buying, and helps you avoid nasty surprises. Here at Jig-Check Engineering we also provide you with an estimated cost of repairs to factor into your purchase decision.

Jig-Check Engineering is happy to help you with pre-purchase inspections, as well as being a licensed tester, so no matter what you need, talk to us today!

Brake Repairs

The brakes are the most important safety feature your vehicle has. While other safety systems mitigate the severity of an accident, your brakes are preventative, and well-maintained brakes can often mean the difference between an accident and an emergency stop. Your brakes suffer a surprising amount of wear, after all, they bring over a tonne of metal to a complete stop, several times a day. For this reason, we agree with brakes manufacturers that you should have your brakes checked at least once a year.

Here at Jig-Check Engineering, our expert mechanics provide the following brake services:

• Component Replacement (pads, rotors and drums)
• Machining
• Hoses
• Restorations

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

Steering & Suspension

Faults and flaws in your vehicle’s suspension and steering affect ride comfort and handling, causing body lean through corners and play in the steering wheel. Your suspension also maximises the grip that your tyres exert on the road, so a poor suspension will increase your stopping distance.

Here at Jig-Check Engineering, our skilled technicians can help you with:

• Wheel Alignments
• Shocks/Springs
• Wheel Balancing
• Bushing Replacement
• Power Steering Repairs/Replacement
• Lift Kits and 4wd Upgrades

If you are having trouble with your vehicle’s steering or suspension, get in touch today!

Air Conditioning

Driving in the summer without air conditioning can be practically unbearable. Your AC is unique amongst your vehicle’s systems in that it degrades more from disuse than use. The myriad rubber tubing and seals that comprise the majority of your aircon, will dry up and crack if not used, allowing the refrigerant gas to leak out and rob your air conditioning of its cooling power.

Here at Jig-Check Engineering, we can completely repair your vehicle’s air conditioning, starting by replacing faulty condensers and compressors, then replacing any cracked tubing and seals, and finally re-gassing your system with refrigerant once we’re conviced it’s airtight.

If your air conditioning isn’t working, don’t hesitate to give us a call today!

Clutch & Transmission

The mechanisms that transfer power from your engine to your wheels are some of the most intricate and precise pieces of machinery in your vehicle. Due to the sophistication of this machinery, even minor flaws will quickly proliferate into extremely costly repairs.

If you’re having trouble changing gears, or notice a grinding noise when you do, or a burning smell coming from under bonnet after a drive, you may have a problem with your vehicle’s drivetrain.

Jig-Check Engineering’s experienced mechanics can provide:

• Clutch repairs
• Automatic and manual transmission repairs and servicing

If you’ve noticed any of the warning signs mentioned above, talk to us today!

Radiators & Cooling

If your cooling system is malfunctioning, it will cause a multitude of problems, from decreased engine power and fuel efficiency to decreased engine lifespan as leaking coolant damages the head gasket, and warping caused by overheating damages the pistons and cylinder heads. If these problems are ignored for long enough, they will render your vehicle immobile, with the cost of repairs being comparable to buying a second-hand car.

Here at Jig-Check Engineering, we can help you with:

• Radiator/heater repairs and replacement
• Head gasket replacement
• Coolant flush
• Thermostats

If your vehicle is running hot or leaking coolant, contact us today!

Diagnostics & Auto Electrical

As vehicles have grown in complexity, more and more functionality is being handled by the network of onboard computers. This network governs myriad different functions, from playing music and monitoring fuel consumption to assisting with braking and gear changing, even putting your vehicle into limp mode to pre-emptively protect the engine from lasting damage.

Jig-Check Engineering’s skilled auto electricians can provide the following auto electrical services:

• Full diagnostics
• Battery test and replacement
• Alternators and starter motors
• Component test and replacement
• Audio installations
• Lighting upgrades

If your check engine light is staring up at you from the dashboard, get in touch today!

Wheels & Tyres

The condition of your tyres is the deciding factor of how much traction you exert on the road, especially during wet weather, where the treads of the tyre act as channels to divert the water away from the contact patches.

Tyre manufacturers design their products with built-in redundancies that allow them to continue to provide acceptable grip even as they wear.

Here at Jig-Check Engineering, we provide tyres from major brands for all makes and models of cars, and also fit and balance them for you on-site!

If your tyres are looking a bit bald, talk to us today!
