Uneven tire wear Inspection

Uneven tyre wear can indicate an issue with your vehicle’s wheel alignment, tyre pressure, suspension components, or steering system, potentially affecting handling, braking, and tyre lifespan. Our uneven tyre wear inspection helps identify the cause by examining tyre tread patterns, checking inflation pressure, and assessing wheel alignment and relevant suspension and steering components. Common causes include incorrect wheel alignment, unbalanced wheels, worn suspension joints, damaged shocks or struts, and inconsistent tyre pressure. Identifying the underlying problem helps determine the appropriate correction, prevent premature tyre replacement, and improve driving stability. Book an inspection to find out why your tyres are wearing unevenly and get the right recommendations for your vehicle. Addressing uneven wear early can help extend tyre life and support safer driving.

Valve cover gasket is leaking Inspection

A leaking valve cover gasket can allow engine oil to escape from the top of the engine, causing oil stains, burning oil smells, smoke when oil reaches hot components, and reduced oil levels. Our valve cover gasket leak inspection helps confirm the source of the leak by checking the gasket, valve cover, surrounding seals, and nearby engine components for signs of oil seepage or damage. We assess the condition of the affected parts to determine whether the gasket needs replacement or additional repairs are required. Prompt diagnosis helps prevent continued oil loss, reduce the risk of damage to nearby components, and avoid more expensive engine repairs. Book an inspection to identify the source of the oil leak and get the right repair for your vehicle. If you notice heavy smoke, a significant oil leak, or an oil pressure warning light, stop driving when safe and arrange professional assistance.
