Logbook Servicing

Whenever you purchase a new vehicle, the manufacturer provides you with a warranty that covers the cost of any parts failures. This warranty is only valid, however, if you have your vehicle periodically serviced by a certified mechanic, who records these services and stamps your vehicle’s logbook.

Here at Goodyear Fountain Gate, our expert mechanics are fully certified to provide logbook servicing for all:

• Petrol vehicles
• Diesel vehicles
• Electric/hybrid vehicles

Vehicle Inspections 

f you’re looking at buying a secondhand vehicle, we would recommend bringing it in for a pre-purchase inspection. This inspection ensures you know exactly what you’re buying, and helps you avoid any nasty surprises.

Goodyear Fountain Gate can help you with inspections and pre-purchase inspections.

Steering & Suspension

Faults and flaws in your steering and suspension affect handling and ride comfort, with play or stiffness in your steering wheel, and body roll through corners. Your suspension is also responsible for maximising the grip that your tyres exert on the road surface, so a poor suspension will also increase your stopping distance.

Here at Goodyear Fountain Gate, our expert technicians can help you with:

• Wheel alignments
• Shock absorbers, springs and struts
• Wheel balancing
• Bushing replacement
• Steering repairs
• Power steering and repairs

Clutch & Transmission

As part of the assemblage that transfers power from the engine to the wheels, the transmission is comprised of some of the most complex and intricate machinery in your vehicle. Due to their sophisticated nature, even minor problems can quickly escalate into very costly repairs.

Goodyear Fountain Gate’s skilled mechanics can provide the following clutch and transmission services:

• Transmission Servicing
• Transmission Repairs
• Automatic transmissions

• Repairs and replacement

Cooling Systems

If your cooling system is malfunctioning, it can cause myriad problems from reduced fuel efficiency and power output to decreased engine lifespan as leaking coolant and overheating damages the engine block. If a cooling system issue is ignored for long enough, it will render your vehicle immobile, with the cost of repairs being comparable to that of buying a secondhand car!

Here at Goodyear Fountain Gate, our experienced mechanics can help you with:

• 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, like airbags, can only reduce the severity of accidents, your brakes can also act preventatively, and the condition of your brakes is often the deciding factor between an accident and an emergency stop.

• Brake component replacement
• Brake component machining
• Brake hose repairs
• Brake restorations
