Logbook Servicing
Whenever you purchase a new vehicle, the manufacturer provides you with a warranty that covers the cost of parts failure. This warranty is only valid, however, if you have your vehicle regularly serviced by a certified mechanic, who records and stamps these services in your vehicle’s logbook.
Here at Uptech Off Road Centre, our mechanics are fully certified to provide logbook services for all:
- Petrol vehicles
- Diesel vehicles
Vehicle Inspections
When you’re thinking of buying a second-hand vehicle, we would first recommend bringing it in for a pre-purchase inspection. This inspection ensures that you know exactly what you’re buying, and helps you avoid any nasty surprises.
If you’re planning a trip anywhere off-road, we would strongly recommend bringing your 4WD into our workshop for a pre-trip inspection. This is a basic, but crucial step in ensuring the safety of yourself and your passengers.
Here at Uptech Off Road Centre, we can happily help you with both pre-trip and pre-purchase inspections.
Steering & Suspension
Faults in your steering and suspension affect handling and ride comfort, causing play in the steering wheel and body roll through corners. Your suspension is also responsible for maximising the grip your tyres exert on the road, so a poor suspension will also increase your stopping distance.
Uptech Off Road Centre’s skilled technicians can help you with:
- Wheel alignments
- Shock absorbers, springs and struts
- Wheel balancing
- Bushing replacement
- Power steering repairs and replacement
- Lift kits and other 4WD upgrades
Exhaust
While most people remember that their engine needs fuel to function, a lot of the time we forget about the other vital base ingredient: oxygen. Your exhaust is extremely important for your engine’s air intake as it draws away the waste gases, allowing fresh air into the engine compartment.
Your exhaust therefore affects fuel efficiency, power output, as well as determing how your engine sounds, deciding the engine note.
Here at Uptech Off Road Centre, our expert mechanics can help you with:
- Exhaust repairs and replacement
- Exhaust modifications and upgrades
Clutch & Transmission
As part of the machinery that transfers power from the engine to the wheels, the clutch and transmission are comprised of some of the most intricate and complex machinery in your vehicle. Due to their sophisticated nature, even minor flaws can quickly escalate into extremely costly repairs.
Here at Uptech Off Road Centre, our experienced mechanics can provide:
- Clutch repairs
- Automatic and manual transmission servicing and repairs
Radiators & Cooling Systems
If your cooling system is malfunctioning, it can cause a multitude of problems, from reduced fuel efficiency and power output, to decreased engine lifespan as overheating and leaking coolant damages the engine. If you ignore these problems for long enough they will render your vehicle immobile, with the cost of repairs being comparable to that of buying a second-hand car.
Uptech Off Road Centre’s skilled staff can provide you with the following cooling system services:
- Radiator/heater unit repairs and replacement
- Head gasket replacement
- Coolant flush and leak check
- Thermostat check and replacement
Brake Services
Your brakes are the most important safety feature your vehicle has. While other safety systems can only mitigate the severity of an accident, your brakes can act preventatively, and the condition of your brakes is often the deciding factor between an accident and an emergency stop
Uptech Off Road Centre’s expert technicians provide the following brake services:
- Brake component machining
- Brake component replacement
- Brake hose repairs
- Brake restorations
- Disc brake conversions
Auto Electrical Services
As modern vehicles have increased in complexity, more and more functionality is being handled by the onboard auto electrical network. This network handles everything from playing music and monitoring fuel consumption to assisting with braking and gear changes, even putting your vehicle into limp mode if a serious fault is detected, to prevent any lasting damage.
Uptech Off Road Centre’s expert auto electricians can help you with:
- Alternators and starter motors
- Battery check and replacement
- Component check and replacement
- Solar/battery systems
- High output alternator conversions
- Dual battery conversions and accessories
Tyres
The condition of your tyres is the deciding factor in 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 where the contact patches meet the road surface.
Here at Uptech Off Road Centre, we stock only the best tyres from major brands for all makes and models of 4WD.
