DIAGNOSTICS

We offer a plug in diagnostic service to help you establish next steps for your vehicle.

All modern vehicles are fitted with computers and an extensive amount of technology to run and monitor the internal workings of the vehicle. One of the most important functions these computers provide is ensuring your car is operating within the manufacturers parameters. Including the engine and safety systems (ABS, Anti-Slip etc. etc.) to ensure all are operating correctly and safely.

Most people usually only become aware of the functions of these computers when one of the fault warning indicators illuminates on the dashboard. If you get a light appear on the dashboard contact Otter Vale Motor Services for a diagnostic assessment and to discuss next steps with an experienced and qualified technician.

TYRES

Looking to buy tyres for your car? Otter Vale Motor Services can get you driving safe and legal on the road.

Look for cuts, cracks and bulges, or any other evidence of damage, from violent impact or kerbing, or excessive wear inner/outer of the tyre or middle of tread. Damaged tyres may be illegal and can be dangerous. For peace of mind, call into Otter Vale Motor Services for some friendly expert advice and ask for your free tyre check.

AIR CONDITIONING

You may not be aware that over 10% of air con gas permeates from the air con system every year.

This means that it may not work as well as it should. This service is not part of routine vehicle servicing so if your vehicle is more than 2 years old it's probably due for a recharge.

SUSPENSION

Your car's suspension is a vital safety element for your vehicle.

Worn shock absorbers not only reduce driver comfort, but they can also dramatically affect the handling and safety of your car.

Worn suspension components may also cause an irritating knocking noise.

Our friendly and experience team can assess your suspension and guide you to the best course of action to return your vehicle to full safe and working order.

BATTERIES

We carry an extensive range of batteries, which are available to be fitted while you wait. Ranging from a 3 year, 4 year & 5 year warranty.
