Courtesy
Check  Something
just doesn’t feel right… Suddenly your car
seems to be jerking around every bend, takes ages to start,
the steering feels a little jittery and a cloud of smoke
seems to engulf anyone unlucky enough to be standing behind
your car when you pull away from a stop street. In short – Something’s
wrong.
Come
in to the Carlos W Power service centre, and one of our
qualified technicians will gladly performa courtesy check – FREE
OF CHARGE. We will assess the situation, and report the
findings on the spot. Should we be able to repair your
vehicle right there and then, we will do so immediately.
Should the time not be convenient for you, you can arrange
for a more suitable time or date to bring your vehicle
back for repairs.
NOTE: Try
to provide as much information as possible with regards
to the particular problem, when you bring your vehicle
in for a courtesy check. This will enable the technician
to make an accurate diagnosis.

Oil
Check
Whenever
a vehicle is booked in for a scheduled service at Carlos
W Power, we will routinely perform an oil change, as well
as fit a new oil filter. Remember – Timing for services
varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, please consult
your service handbook for details (it is widely accepted
to allow up to 12 months between oil changes).
Every
day driving and traffic put enormous strain on your vehicle’s
engine – A quick oil change between scheduled services
is always a good option. This will ensure that your vehicle’s
engine is clean and functioning at its peak at all times.
This will also assist in long-term engine durability.

Batteries
As
the battery runs all the electrical components in your
vehicle, it is necessary for the battery and alternator
to be checked at regular intervals. Pop in and a spot-check
will be performed on these two vital elements of your vehicle.
Regular checks are recommended to avoid any unwanted electrical
problems, such as not being able to start your vehicle
in the morning.
Brakes
 Brakes
are always checked during a scheduled service (and replaced
if deemed necessary – with your prior approval, of
course), but if you at any time feel in doubt about the
working order of your vehicle’s brakes – Bring
your vehicle in for a courtesy inspection. Our qualified
technicians can then advise you of the best solution for
any braking problems, and arrange for the work to be carried
out at your convenience. The brake service also includes
the checking of brake fluid levels, and replacement of
brake fluid if required. Whether a full brake change, brake
fluid replacement or simply a courtesy check is required,
the Carlos W Power service centre is the place to go.

Suspension
and Steering
Modern
suspension and steering systems are made up of many parts
and these should be checked periodically. At Carlos W Power,
our service technicians are trained to inspect the suspension
and steering during every scheduled service. Should your
vehicle not be due for a service, but you feel that your
vehicle is not performing as it should, please ask for
a courtesy check.
Should
any fault or defect be found, we can repair the vehicle
to the highest standards and your convenience. All parts
used are manufacturer guaranteed, and of the highest quality.
TIP:
Before bringing in your vehicle for this type of courtesy
check, try to make a note of the following (this will
enable the technician to make a detailed assessment of
the problem):
|
Does
the vehicle pull to the left or right?
|
|
Does
the vehicle pull under braking or accelerating or
both?
|
|
From
which area does the noise come from?
|
|
Has
the vehicle recently been serviced?
