Most handling or ride comfort issues can be traced back to problems in your vehicle’s steering or suspension systems, from unresponsiveness or ‘play’ in the steering wheel to damage to excessive body roll when going around corners.

We can make repairs to your vehicle’s suspension and steering, from replacing worn springs, shock absorbers and bushings to making repairs to your vehicle’s steering column and power steering system.

Your vehicle’s exhaust is responsible for drawing spent engine fumes away from your engine bay, ensuring it has the clean air it needs to operate efficiently.

In addition to conducting repairs to your existing exhaust solution, we can recommend a new aftermarket solution from a range of headers, mufflers, extractors and other products, all to help improve the quality of air flow through your engine.

Trouble staying in gear, changing gears, or odd noises coming from underneath your vehicle, are all potential signs of problems developing in your vehicle’s transmission. These can become expensive repairs quite quickly if not detected early.

We’re able to provide a range of repairs for your vehicle’s drivetrain, from clutch pedal and hydraulic checks to repairs and replacement of your vehicle’s manual or automatic transmission.

Keeping your engine cool is important to proper vehicle health. An overheating vehicle can lead to all sorts of critical engine problems that can become costly to repair and potentially result in breakdowns, so if you suspect your vehicle’s overheating, don’t take a chance; drive very carefully to Plugs Auto Repairs as soon as possible for a cooling check.

We can give your cooling system a thorough inspection, patching up leaks and cracks in your hosing and seals, repairing or replacing damaged radiator units, switching out faulty thermostats, and conducting a full coolant flush to clear up any blockages in the coolant fluid lines.

Your vehicle’s brakes are its most important safety feature, often marking the difference between an emergency stop and an accident. But your vehicle’s brakes can suffer wear and tear more quickly than most other vehicle components, particularly if your vehicle’s subjected to city roads and the stop-and-start nature of urban driving.

We’re able to check your brake systems for wear and tear, replacing worn brake pads, discs or drums as required. We can also machine new brake rotors and drums on-site with our purpose-built brake lathe.
