A routine service uncovered a bigger issue. 🔧

This 79 Series came in for a routine service, but during our inspection we found excessive wear in the front end that couldn’t be ignored.

The job quickly turned into:
✅ Front & rear wheel bearing replacement
✅ 2 new front spindles
✅ New manual locking hub

It’s a great reminder that routine servicing is about more than just changing the oil. Thorough inspections help identify worn components before they leave you stranded.

No cheap aftermarket parts here. 🔧

This Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series with a 1FZ, came in with a failing starter motor.

We fitted a genuine Denso starter motor—the same trusted manufacturer as the original—ensuring reliable starts, OEM-quality performance and long-term durability.

Quality parts make all the difference, especially when reliability matters.

Fresh turbo fitted and finished off with a DPF clean on this BMW 🔧💨

After a turbo failure as serious as this bmw had, it’s important to clean the DPF properly and make sure everything’s flowing as it should. All done in-house.

VDJ LandCruiser owners — this is something you don’t want to ignore.

These engines are known for sucking in fine dust and dirt, especially in harsh Aussie conditions. Over time, that contamination can cause serious engine wear… and by the time you notice it, the damage is already done.

Loss of power, increased oil consumption, or even complete engine failure — it’s not worth the risk.

At M Carter Automotive, we know exactly what to look for and how to prevent it before it turns into a costly rebuild. From inspections to proven fixes, we’ve got your LandCruiser covered.

Don’t wait until it’s too late — get on top of it now.
