Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even know there is a clutch in your vehicle. But without it, the gears in your car will not change. Lancar Automotive in Narre Warren know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below. What is a clutch? The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to spin, but what happens when your car needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop spinning but the wheels need to. It's the clutch that allows this to happen. The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run. What is clutch fluid? Some vehicles have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. Leaking clutch fluid can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At Lancar Automotive in Narre Warren we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you in the course of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection - which you can request as part of every car service.
 What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing You should have your clutch looked at if: You notice a burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle Your vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason There is jerky or sticky gear operation Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it could mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine. The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is contact us at Lancar Automotive today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Narre Warren workshop.

Driving in the rain and the increasing presence of potholes on the roads can pose significant challenges to both tyre performance and overall vehicle safety. Wet weather conditions reduce tyre traction, making it more difficult to maintain control of your vehicle, especially when roads become slippery. 

Tyres in poor condition can increase the risk of skidding or aquaplaning, which occurs when water builds up between the tyre and the road surface, causing a loss of grip. Ensuring that your tyres have sufficient tread depth and are properly inflated is essential for maintaining safe handling and braking performance in wet conditions. Heavy rain can also lead to the deterioration of road surfaces, often resulting in potholes. These potholes not only damage tyres but can also throw your vehicle’s wheels out of alignment and balance. Misaligned or unbalanced wheels can cause uneven tyre wear, reduce fuel efficiency, and negatively impact steering control. If you’ve recently driven over a pothole or noticed unusual vibrations or uneven tyre wear, it’s important to have your wheels checked as soon as possible.

Regular tyre inspections and maintenance are critical to addressing these challenges. By checking your tyres for signs of wear, damage, or uneven tread, you can spot potential issues early and take action before they become serious. 

Our expert team is here to help you stay safe on the road. Whether you need tyre repairs, replacements, or wheel alignment and balancing services, we’ve got you covered. With tyres ordered daily, we ensure that you have access to high-quality products at competitive prices.

Don’t let wet weather and damaged roads compromise your safety. Call in today to have your tyres inspected, and let us help you maintain optimal performance for your vehicle, no matter the road conditions. Regular tyre rotation is a simple but great way to extend the lifespan of your tyres. This service involves changing the position of your tyres to ensure even wear across all four tyres. Front and rear tyres wear differently due to the distinct roles they play in vehicle dynamics. Rotating your tyres helps maintain even tread wear, improving traction and fuel efficiency. It's recommended to rotate your tyres every 5,000 to 8,000 miles or as advised by your vehicle manufacturer. 

For all these services and more, trust Lancar Automotive in Narre Warren to keep your vehicle in top condition.

Tyre Care and Maintenance

Ensure Your Car’s Longevity with Expert Servicing and Maintenance Taking care of your car through regular maintenance is one of the most crucial steps to ensuring it stays reliable, efficient, and safe on the road. At Lancar Automotive in Narre Warren, we understand that your vehicle is more than just a mode of transport – it’s an essential part of your everyday life. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing the very best servicing to keep your car running smoothly and help you avoid unexpected breakdowns. Regular car servicing not only prolongs the life of your vehicle but also helps identify potential issues early, saving you both time and money in the long run.

From checking oil levels and filters to inspecting brakes, tyres, and suspension, our comprehensive services cover every aspect of your car’s health. As a licensed vehicle tester for roadworthy inspections, Lancar Automotive is your trusted partner for staying safe and compliant on the road. Let us keep your car in peak condition year-round. The Advantages of Routine Car Servicing Regular car servicing offers countless benefits that contribute to the longevity, reliability, and efficiency of your vehicle. One of the most significant advantages is the prevention of mechanical damage. By regularly inspecting and maintaining crucial components such as the engine, brakes, and suspension, issues can be identified early before they escalate into costly repairs or unexpected breakdowns. For instance, a simple oil change can prevent engine wear, while ensuring your brake pads are in good condition can save you from potential accidents.

Not only does regular servicing keep your car in optimal condition, but it also saves you time and money in the long run. Ignoring minor issues often leads to more severe damage that is not only expensive to fix but can also leave you stranded, costing you valuable time and causing unnecessary stress. A small coolant leak, for example, may seem insignificant at first but can quickly lead to overheating and severe engine damage if left unchecked. Regular servicing ensures such issues are identified and addressed early, preventing costly repairs down the line. Preventative maintenance ensures your car remains reliable and efficient, reducing the likelihood of inconvenient disruptions to your daily routine.

Additionally, routine servicing improves fuel efficiency by ensuring your engine runs smoothly and components such as tyres are correctly inflated and aligned. This means fewer trips to the petrol station and more money saved over time. Regular checks on filters, exhaust systems, and other key parts also contribute to a smoother, safer driving experience.

Ultimately, investing in regular car servicing at Lancar Automotive in Narre Warren is a proactive way to protect your vehicle and your wallet. With professional care, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your car is well-maintained and ready for the road ahead. Key Checks During a Standard Car Service When you bring your vehicle to Lancar Automotive in Narre Warren for a standard car service, you can trust that every critical aspect of your car’s performance and safety will be thoroughly inspected. Our expert technicians focus on key components to ensure your vehicle operates at its best.

One of the most important checks involves the engine oil and filters. Clean oil is vital for lubricating engine parts, reducing friction, and preventing wear and tear. The oil filter, which traps dirt and debris, is also replaced to maintain optimal engine performance.

Brakes are carefully examined to ensure they’re functioning correctly. We check the brake pads, discs, and fluid levels to confirm that everything is in top condition, as worn brakes can compromise safety. Similarly, tyres are assessed for proper inflation, tread depth, and signs of uneven wear, which can impact handling, fuel efficiency, and safety.

Suspension components, such as shock absorbers and springs, are inspected to ensure a smooth and stable ride. Faulty suspension can lead to discomfort while driving and even cause additional wear on other parts of the car.

The exhaust system is checked for any leaks or damage, as it plays a key role in managing emissions and maintaining engine efficiency. Additionally, other vital systems, including lights, belts, hoses, and fluid levels, are inspected to identify any potential issues early.

At Lancar Automotive, our comprehensive approach to servicing ensures that every part of your car is functioning as it should, giving you confidence on the road.

Seasonal Car Maintenance Tips for Year-Round Safety Seasonal car maintenance is essential for keeping your vehicle running smoothly all year round. During summer, ensure your cooling system is functioning properly to prevent overheating, particularly in the heat of Narre Warren. Check coolant levels and inspect hoses for any signs of cracks or leaks. Tyres should also be reviewed, as hot weather can increase pressure – make sure they’re correctly inflated and in good condition.

In winter, pay close attention to your battery, as colder temperatures can reduce its efficiency. Test it regularly to ensure it holds charge and starts reliably. Defrosters and heaters are critical for visibility and comfort, so confirm they’re operating effectively. Additionally, inspect wiper blades for wear and replace them if necessary to handle heavy rain or frost. Preparing for seasonal changes helps ensure safety and reliability on the road.
