Mazda Car Service and Repairs in Highton

Did you know that you get to decide where your vehicle is serviced, maintained and repaired?

Looking for bargains in the end of year car sales or are looking to get your new car serviced for the holidays? Here is some sound advice from Highton Automotive Services in Highton.

Acquiring a new car is one of the biggest investments a lot of people make, so it is common sense to do whatever you can to take care of it. Caring for your new car goes beyond detailing the interior and keeping it sparkling with a loving weekly wash, however.

There are a few other things to consider, such as who is the best choice to service your car.

Highton Automotive Services will ensure your car is serviced by our qualified professional, to the manufacturers requirements, using high quality parts from a reputable supplier and fluids which meet the manufacturers specifications. This is not just to look after your new car, but because if these four requirements are met you will also preserve the manufacturers warranty.

Were you aware of the fact that you get to decide the best workshop to service your new car without voiding either the manufacturers warranty or your rights under the Consumer Guarantee

Your Car - Your Choice : Highton Automotive Services

Car dealers cannot force you to take the vehicle back to the dealer where you originally got it for service or repairs. Provided the work is implemented to the manufacturers specifications by a suitably skilled person and uses acceptable quality parts and fluids, the warranty stands. You have the right to choose who services your car.

With Repco Authorised Service you can tick all the boxes. Every Highton Automotive Services mechanic is fully qualified and Auto-Tech trained, giving them access to Australia's leading provider of automotive technical information and training. This means Highton Automotive Services mechanics are kept fully up to date with the latest in automotive service techniques and are able to service your new car without voiding the warranty.

Repco branded parts & products are manufactured to stringent Repco quality standards, and are covered by the Repco Nationwide Warranty, giving you added protection. Highton Automotive Services will also only ever use fluids and lubricants that meet the specifications of the original car manufacturer.

If you already own a new car or are thinking of purchasing one, make sure you clearly understand where your statutory rights begin and end.

Make sure you are aware of the separation between statutory, manufacturer and extended warranties to ensure you make the right selection when it comes to servicing your new car. You are automatically covered by a statutory warranty, also known as a Consumer Guarantee, under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and this statutory protection can never be over-ridden by manufacturer or express warranties (which are offered by the car maker and car dealer respectively).

A lack of disclosure requirements on car dealers at the point of sale regarding these contracts can easily lead the consumer into making a choice to be bound by a long term contract without access to all of the details needed to make a properly informed decision.

So when purchasing your new vehicle, be on guard for new car dealers who may try to push the addition of “express” or “extended” warranties, often for free. More often than not these ‘extra' warranties may include quite prohibitive restrictions or provisions, often in a way that is not immediately understood. Many times these additional extras provide little or no additional benefits not already addressed by the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with the dealership selling the car.

Such additional extras are very unlikely to make much mention of the potential negative aspects involved with taking a new car back to the dealer for service or repair. This includes what sort of travel time you may need to get your car serviced or longer waiting times due to fewer available service locations or mechanics.

Car Air Conditioning Service in Highton

Is it costing you fuel just keeping your cool?

Did you know there is a cabin air filter in your car? Where is your cabin air filter? They are designed to remove a large amount of outside air pollutants and debris to keep you breathing easily when you drive.  And it is usually located in your glovebox. Talk to Highton Automotive Services in Highton today about your cabin air filter !

Just like your air-conditioning at home, the filters need to be checked at regular intervals and changed when it has done it's job. Replacing your cabin air filter is important to your health and your cars health too!

The air outside your car can be polluted enough with smoggy city traffic or even dusty country roads, but research published in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal shows that without an effective cabin air filter installed, the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside.
This poor quality air can cause:

"Cabin air filters are designed to filter out contaminants while  absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases like exhaust and ozone,"  explained Ryco Filters General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Ross Lamb. Cabin air filters become clogged over time and their effectiveness at protecting your health declines. 

If you drive ‘Mum's Taxi', you might feel like you are always on the move - and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. And, the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. 

As well as healthier air - an effective cabin air filter means you get better fuel performance from your vehicle. A clogged cabin air filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and this means it uses more fuel and your air conditioning system is more likely to have a costly breakdown.

At Highton Automotive Services in Highton we check your cabin air filter as part of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report which you can request with every full car service.
For a more comprehensive check of your air condition system we recommend an air conditioning service.

Cabin air filter replacement is not only important to your car's health - it affects yours too.

Getting your car's air conditioning serviced every 12 months means you may avoid costly breakdowns now and in the future, and a well serviced automotive air conditioning system saves you money because it reduces the amount of fuel you use.

Highton Automotive Services care about the environment and have Arctick Authorisation (AU03201) to conduct automotive air conditioning service reliably and responsibly. ARC Approved Car Air Conditioning Servicing reduces Fuel Costs and protects your health. 

Highton Automotive Services are the best choice to manage all your Automotive Air Conditioner Regas, Repairs, Servicing or Inspection needs in Highton and the surrounding areas.
