Nissan in Stirling

Today was a great day to be a Perth Mobile Mechanic ,traveling around helping people with roadside assistance, pre purchase inspections and doing all sorts off car servicing and car repairs but the best job was a Nissan in Stirling that had a clunk from the front of the Nissan when it was in four wheel drive ?? So we got out to Stirling to do a vehicle inspection on the Nissan and when we did we found it had a worn lower control arm causing a banging noise [very unsafe] so we left Stirling for suspension parts and returned a hour latter to carry out the car repairs !! When we left the were very happy.

Prepurchase inspection in Midland

Today was a great day to be out doing car servicing and repairs , jump starting cars and trucks, replacing faulty tyres and leaking water hoses but the most interesting job today was a prepurchase vehicle inspection in Midland on a Nissan Patrol ,when we got there I noticed even from a distance that the Nissan had been highly modified !! When started getting in to the prepurchase vehicle inspection we quickly found out that the Nissan Patrol was very unsafe, everything from anti-swaybars been removed to missing steering column bolts that were about to let the steering column fall out !! Very important that when you buy a second hand vehicle to get a pre purchase vehicle inspectionphoto

Nissan in Landsdale

Today was a great day to be out carrying out car and light truck servicing, helping people with roadside assistance all over Perth, We got a call though today to come and have a look at a Nissan in Landsdale with a small oil leak !! When we got there the ladies Landsdale drive-way was covered in power steering oil due to the fact that yesterday the lady noticed a small drop on her drive-way and thought the vehicle repairs could wait another day or so [but it didn’t] The main power steering hose was split right through now and it emptied the power steering tank on to the drive-way !! So the point of the story is if you have a small oil leak today it might be a big oil leakphoto-7 tomorrow so get it looked at !!

Toyota wheel alignment problems

Today was a busy day in the workshop for car servicing and car repairs on all makes and models ! We did have a Toyota come in for a car service today which the owner had no idea how unsafe her car tyres were until we took a photo off them and sent them to her !!

Perth Mobile Mechanics

Today was a great day to be out helping people that required roadside assistance in Perth , Today I had a lady with a Ford Falcon over in Doubleview  that got up and found she couldn’t start her vehicle so she assumed it was a car battery fault so she went to her local store and spent $150 on a new car battery and put it in her Ford Falcon but to her surprise her car still would not start ?? She then called Perth Mobile Mechanics for roadside assistance to help her out ! When we got there we found her Ford Falcon had no spark from her distributor so it couldn’t start ,we replaced the distributor and she was on her way [just a pitty thought she replaced her car batteryFaulty distributor for no reason]

Old tyre problems

When we at Perth Mobile Mechanics are travelling around taking care off vehicle repairs and helping out with roadside assistance we seem to come across the same types off car problems that cause the average car owner to be broken down ! These problems are usually flat car batteries,cars run out off petrol and flat car tyres !! There are some car tyres out there that still have a bit off tread on them but if your mechanic that is doing your car service looks closely at your tyres that have been on your car for way to long he may find cracks and splits in them which will cause you to have a flat tyreOld tyres in the near future
