To help answer any questions you might have about car maintenance tips and preventing expensive repairs,i thought i’d post a series of tips over the coming weeks. Please feel free to contact me if you have any particular questions you’d like answered.

First things first! My number one in car maintenance tips is READ THE MANUAL/ SERVICE LOG BOOK! Like any major purchase it pays to read the instruction manual. This will make sure you get the best performance and life out of your car. Whether you car is new or used, definately make time to sit down and read the manual or log book, this will give you a basic understanding of how the car operates, what’s under the bonnet, how often you should have your car serviced and whats entailed in your car log book service.

You’ll find that your car manual/log book will be full of acronyms and car speak for example ABS (anti-lock braking system) EFI (electric fuel injection) or RPM (revolutions per minute), the great thing about reading through your manual/log book is that it also explains these terms in detail and these terms and phrases will no longer be a foreign language!

Something as simple as reading you car manual/service log book will make you an informed car owner and help prevent expensive repairs, plus you’ll be able to talk the talk with your mechanic when it comes to car maintenance!

Many female customers love the car service we provide for their cars. Many people, sometimes women, are not aware of the various parts of their car and the car maintenance that is required. We explain everything that is needed for our customer to maintain the car in good condition. Without having proper car maintenance knowledge, the customer may have frequent problems and it is obvious that they will think we didn’t provide proper car service. We don’t want to lose our reputation and hence, we educate out customers to take proper care for their car.

Many people think that their new car warranty will be voided when they approach some other car mechanic for servicing the car. But this is not true. You do not need go to the dealer for car services. You can come to us and we provide all the car services and this will not void your new car’s warranty.

Entrusting your car to our Dixon Automotive is a good decision. Your car’s whole entirety is checked every time you refer it for car maintenance or repairs. Unlike other Brisbane Auto Mechanic workshops, where an Auto mechanic would just ask about a minimum questions and then just perform his standard service like oil filter change. At Dixon Automotive we always go the extra mile of the usual service.

Our Auto mechanics at Dixon Automotive always give a one on one consultation with clients. A real trust is established through telling the customer what had been done to the car, showing him exactly what has been replaced of, and discussing what a client needs to do to keep maintaining their car.

At Dixon Automotive we believe in educating the clients so that they can maintain the car between services. Many Brisbane Auto Mechanics will not do this as they believe that it takes away from their income. At Dixon Automotive we believe that loyal customers are more important. Make Dixon Automotive your Brisbane Car Mechanic.

This creates a feeling of achievement and security on our part. We have satisfactorily served dozens of customers with full integrity, and gave remarkable repairs and great impression to them, their good words about our reputation would spread out and bring about more loyal clients. Through this Dixon Automotive has been referred to many of their associates, friends and others in the social circle as a quality Brisbane Auto Mechanic. Once the trust of these clients is won, they will always come back for repairs and consultation despite their far location. Based on my observation, once the clients are served right, they become loyal to the Auto mechanics. This is how we have become a successful Brisbane Auto Mechanic.

Always check oil and water in between services
Most vehicle breakdowns are due to lack of oil and water. Think of these as the lifeblood of your vehicle. Without proper oil or water levels your car can not function properly. You may end up with major problems like cracked cylinder heads or seized engines which can run into the thousands to have repaired. For newer vehicles checking once a week is fine but for older vehicles checking every few days is a must. If you’re not sure how to check your car’s fluid levels please come in to see me or one of my experience Auto Mechanics at Dixon Automotive Services and I’ll be more then happy to show you more about car maintenance and car care tips.
