This wasn't at our shop but it shows exactly why we don't allow customers to drive into the workshop. What might seem a simple task can easily and very quickly go horribly wrong.

On today's edition of JUST ROLLED IN.
This tyre is dangerousy worn and is bulging. It's only a matter of time before it causes a dangerous blow out 🚑 🏥
In the interest of safety for the owner and their family we changed the tyre and suggested they get to a tyre shop for a new one and a wheel alignment at the same time.
Stay safe out there folks.

We've had a couple of crackers recently.
Toyotas sometimes have a cartridge style oil filter and if the wrong tool is used damage can be done. We make sure to use the right tools, apparently the workshop before didnt and broke off numerous teeth/lugs. Luckily the replacement OEM part is only about $40.

Here's another doozy from today 😬

The hits keep coming 🎉🥳.
Some bush mechanic has worked on this car and more than likely stripped the thread on the b**g, or worse, the pan itself and then covered it with silicon/epoxy. We won't touch this and recommend getting a mechanical shop to fix it.

At this rate we're going to have to start a new segment, "JUST ROLLED IN".
Time for new rotors 😬

Another shocker of a discovery on a car recently 😬

09/03/2023

This came in today 🤔😬.
The rear lower shock bushes are knackered, the right rear shock is leaking and both control arm bushes (at the least) are knackered.
This vehicle is a danger to the owner as well as other road users and really shouldn't be on the road in our opinion.
This is a perfect example where just because your car has a WOF does not mean it's safe.
