Logbook Servicing
With most new vehicles, part of the value you’re paying for is the warranty, which protects you the buyer from any expenses resulting from manufacturer’s faults early in the vehicle’s life. To keep the protection of your warranty for as long as possible, it’s expected that your vehicle undergoes regularly scheduled servicing from a reputable mechanic.
We can provide logbook servicing for all makes and models of petrol, diesel, LPG, electric and hybrid vehicles, warning you of any issues in your vehicle before they impact your vehicle too heavily. You’ll also drive away from our workshop with the peace of mind of having an intact warranty.
Light Truck Repairs
At Krupic Auto Repairs, we understand what it means to a small business owner or freight driver to have a problem with their vehicle. Every day their truck is off the road is another day they’re not earning money.
Our workshop has everything we need to provide the same level of service for light trucks as we already do for smaller vehicles, from comprehensive servicing to diagnostic scans and repairs. We can also offer truck drivers VicRoads licensed vehicle testing, and issue roadworthy certificates to help keep your vehicle registered and road-legal.
Bus Roadworthy Inspections
Finding a workshop capable of offering roadworthy inspections for a regular passenger car can be tricky in its own right. When you need a less conventional vehicle to be issued a Roadworthy Certificate, however, it can be even more difficult to find someone to help.
Krupic Auto Repairs is one of only a handful of workshops in Victoria with the right qualifications from VicRoads to provide roadworthy inspections for buses, making us a go-to workshop for bus drivers in and around Melbourne’s metropolitan area. We’ll check your vehicle in line with VicRoads specifications, giving you the all-clear with a Roadworthy Certificate or advising you on what repairs need to be made before your vehicle can be registered. We can also provide roadworthy inspections for a range of other vehicles, including trucks, light commercial vehicles and passenger cars.
Vehicle Inspections
Before selling, trading or transferring ownership of a second-hand vehicle, and before registering a vehicle for use on Victoria’s roads, it’s required that your vehicle undergoes a roadworthy inspection which ensures that it can be used on the road without being a danger to yourself and other road users.
As a VicRoads licensed vehicle tester, we can conduct roadworthy inspections on all makes and models of light vehicles and can certify a vehicle as roadworthy. In addition, we’re one of the most prominent vehicle testers for buses and taxis in Melbourne and can ensure that your vehicle is fit for carrying passengers around the city. We can also conduct pre-purchase inspections, to ensure that you get your money’s worth when buying your next used car.
Brake Repairs
Your brakes are your vehicle’s most important safety feature, with the ability to bring your vehicle to a complete stop when needed often making the difference between an emergency stop and a costly trip to a panel beater for body repairs. Your brakes also suffer the most wear and tear of any area in your vehicle, particularly with the stop and start nature of city driving.
We offer a range of brake services for all makes and models of vehicles, including replacement and restoration of brake pads, discs and drums, as well as machining of parts in-house to ensure prompt, effective repairs.
Steering & Suspension
Faulty or worn components in your vehicle’s steering or suspension systems can cause a host of problems for your vehicle’s handling or overall ride comfort, affecting how well you can control your vehicle on the road.
We can repair your suspension and steering with a range of replacement parts including car springs, shock absorbers and bushes. We can also repair your vehicle’s power steering systems and axle, to tighten up your vehicle’s handling, conduct wheel alignments, and install lift kits and other 4WD upgrades.
Clutch & Transmission
Trouble shifting gears, or staying in gear, as well as strange noises or smells coming from underneath the vehicle, all warning signs of problems with your vehicle’s transmission. Problems with your vehicle’s transmission can quickly deteriorate into serious mechanical problems that affect your vehicle’s performance.
We provide a range of services for your vehicle’s drivetrain, from clutch repairs to manual and automatic transmission servicing. We can also conduct transmission fluid changes, to keep everything ticking over smoothly and without issue.
Radiators & Cooling
Keeping your engine bay cool is imperative to maintaining a healthy engine operating at peak performance. An overheating engine, on the other hand, can quickly create all sorts of other problems in your vehicle, potentially causing a breakdown that leaves you stranded. If you suspect your vehicle might be overheating, it’s best to either pull over immediately to allow your engine to cool, or drive very carefully to your nearest workshop for an inspection of your cooling system.
We can offer customers a host of services to cooling systems, from leak checks to replacement of faulty hosing, seals or radiator units, as well as repair damaged head gaskets. We can also conduct coolant flushes, to dislodge any residue or blockages in your vehicle’s cooling system that might stop it from working correctly.
Air Conditioning
Driving in Australia during the warmer months can be a nightmare if your air conditioning system is in disrepair. Leaking hosing or cracks can let out the refrigerants your car needs to keep you cool behind the wheel, leaving you and your passengers more than a little hot under the collar in summer.
Our team can service your vehicle’s air conditioning system, from replacing damaged hosing and faulty air conditioning units and compressors to re-gassing your system in accordance with ARC regulations.
Diagnostics
With vehicles becoming more and more sophisticated in their use of electronics, only the most up-to-date vehicle technicians can keep up with the rapid changes in modern vehicles’ electrical workings.
Our workshop is equipped with the latest in diagnostic scan tools, to interpret fault codes produced by your on-board electronics and isolate the problem area of your vehicle, letting us conduct repairs quicker and more effectively than most other workshops.
Tyres & Wheels
Picking the right tyres for your vehicle often means more than just matching the correct make and model. To get the absolute most out of your new set of rubber, it’s best to also consider other important factors, like the road surface it will most regularly be driving on, the usual weather in your area, even your own habits as a driver. With all that information, you can make important decisions that will help you get the most value for money from a new set of tyres.
Our team can help you pick out a new set of tyres perfect for your vehicle. We can then fit, balance and align them for your vehicle, ensuring consistent contact with the road below and minimal tyre wear.
