Vehicle Tech can arrange all your Car Air Conditioning Regas, Inspection, Repairs and Servicing needs in Lilydale and the surrounding areas.

Modern cars are very complex and just like the engine your vehicle's air conditioner has components that need to be serviced or replaced on a regular basis to ensure continued reliable and efficient operation.

This is essential to guarantee ongoing dependable and efficient functionality. Ensuring that your air conditioner remains in top-notch condition involves routine checks and servicing of its key components, such as the compressor, evaporator, and refrigerant levels. By adhering to a scheduled maintenance plan, you can prevent potential issues, enhance the longevity of the system, and ensure a comfortable driving experience, particularly during Australia's scorching summers.

A decline in refrigerant levels, whether due to leaks or evaporation, results in your air conditioning system becoming less efficient. Consequently, it must exert more effort to maintain its performance, which in turn may increase your vehicle's fuel consumption, particularly for smaller engines.

Consequently, it is crucial to routinely examine the state of the rubber seals for any indications of leaks or issues that might suggest a loss of refrigerant. Regular inspections can help identify problems early, ensuring the system functions efficiently and preventing potential damage. This proactive approach not only helps maintain optimal performance but also extends the lifespan of the equipment.

Ensuring that your vehicle's air conditioning system undergoes servicing annually is essential for a multitude of reasons. Firstly, this proactive measure can significantly reduce the likelihood of expensive repairs both presently and in the future. Secondly, regular maintenance is crucial for passenger safety, as it helps avert the accumulation of potentially dangerous contaminants within the system. 

Additionally, a well-maintained air conditioning unit is more efficient, leading to reduced fuel consumption and, consequently, cost savings over time. This practice not only enhances the longevity of your vehicle's air conditioning but also promotes a safer and more economical driving experience.

Vehicle Tech care about the environment and can arrange vehicle air conditioner re-gas, inspection, repairs and servicing with a licensed technician.

Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Lilydale

Your car's safety and roadworthiness is dependent on the “safety triangle,” consisting of the vehicle's ‘stopping, steering and stability' capabilities.

The suspension and shock absorbers are not just there to give you a smooth ride, they are integral for the correct operation of these three critical capabilities, therefore keeping you, your passengers and other road users safe. Regular servicing and maintenance can help to prevent problems, but if you notice anything amiss, contact us ASAP to get it checked out.

We are located in Lilydale and serve customers in the surrounding areas as well.

The Best Team: Our mechanics are well versed in many different makes and models. From a fleet of vehicles to the family car, we are here for you.

An important part of keeping all aspects of your vehicle working properly is to stick to your regular Log Book servicing schedule. However, if you notice any of the following symptoms you should get your vehicle checked out as soon as possible;

Nose diving and swerving - bonnet dips when braking or slowing down

Car rocks and rolls over bumps and doesn't hug bends when cornering

Our suspension and shock absorber services include inspection, diagnosis, repairs and replacements so we'll have your car fixed and back on the road time. Don't delay, book today.

Some of your suspension & shock absorber's important parts include

Springs - Springs are designed to absorb energy and there are several different types including leaf, coil, torsion bar or air assisted springs. The springs on different types of cars will be set up to different levels. Luxury cars, for example, may have soft springs to produce a smoother ride but this results in more body movement when the car brakes and corners. Sports cars, on the other hand, tend to have tighter springs which allow for more aggressive driving, including around corners, but also mean a less smooth ride.

Shock absorbers - these dissipate the energy absorbed by the springs. The car would not work properly without the shock absorbers because the springs would cause it to bounce up and down when you go over a bump rather than absorb that bump.

Strut - this is a shock absorber mounted inside a coil spring. Struts do the job of the springs and shock absorbers plus provide additional structural support for the suspension system.

Anti-sway bar - spans the width of the axle and joins the two sides of the suspension together to provide stability to the car while it is moving.
