When it comes to your car's performance, comfort, and safety, never underestimate the critical role of the suspension and shock absorber system. Not only does it ensure a smooth ride by absorbing bumps and vibrations, but it also keeps your tyres firmly planted on the road, improving control and braking efficiency. However, like any other part of your vehicle, this system needs regular servicing and occasional repairs to maintain its peak performance. That's where Cornubia Auto Care Pty Ltd in Loganholme comes into the picture, offering top-notch services to keep you cruising smoothly and safely.

The suspension and shock absorber system is composed of several integral parts, each contributing to the overall functionality. Here's a closer look at these components and the signs that they might be failing:

The Key Components and Their Symptoms of Failure

1. Shock Absorbers: As the name suggests, shock absorbers help absorb the shock and vibrations caused by uneven road surfaces. A common symptom of a failing shock absorber is a noticeably rougher ride. You might also notice your car dipping forward when braking if the shock absorbers are worn out.

2. Struts: Struts are a structural part of the suspension system, providing support to the vehicle's weight. If your struts are failing, you may hear knocking sounds when driving over bumps or find that your vehicle is leaning or sagging to one side.

3. Coil Springs: These springs support the vehicle's weight and absorb the impact of road irregularities. If your coil springs are damaged, you might experience a decrease in ride height, leading to your vehicle sitting lower, especially when loaded.

4. Ball Joints: Acting as pivot points between the suspension and the wheels, ball joints ensure smooth steering and wheel movement. Worn ball joints often result in a squeaking noise while turning and can lead to erratic steering behaviour.

5. Control Arms: These allow for motion of the wheels in coordination with the vehicle’s body. If there's an issue with the control arms, you may notice steering wheel vibrations or hear clunking noises when driving over bumps.

At Cornubia Auto Care Pty Ltd, located conveniently in Loganholme, we pride ourselves on providing expert suspension and shock absorber servicing and repairs. Our highly trained mechanics understand the intricate details of various suspension systems, whether you're driving the latest model or a beloved classic. We use the latest tools and techniques to diagnose and fix any issues, ensuring your ride remains comfortable, safe, and enjoyable.

Ignoring signs of suspension or shock absorber problems can lead to increased wear and tear on your tyres and other vehicle components, not to mention a compromised ride quality and safety. Why wait for the bumps to remind you? If you've noticed any of the symptoms mentioned above or it's just been a while since your last check-up, reach out to Cornubia Auto Care Pty Ltd in Loganholme.

Living in Brisbane and surrounding areas, one understands the significance of a properly functioning car air conditioning system. With a varying climate that offers hot and humid summer days along the coast, coupled with crisp winter nights, your car's air conditioning plays a pivotal role in ensuring your driving experience is comfortable and enjoyable, no matter the weather condition. At Cornubia Auto Care Pty Ltd, we recognise the importance of this comfort, and offer top-quality, environmentally responsible air conditioning services.

Efficient air conditioning is not just about your comfort, but it’s also about your health. A poorly maintained car AC system can become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and fungi, potentially leading to allergenic disorders. Moreover, struggling air conditioning units can cause your vehicle to consume more fuel, thereby raising your expenses and negatively impacting the environment.

Three common problems you may encounter with your car's air conditioning system are leakage, clogging, and compressor failure.

1. Leakage: An AC system can lose its refrigerant through small leaks in the equipment, leading to reduced performance. Locating these leaks can be challenging and may require professional attention.

2. Clogging: Debris or dust can cause blockages in your AC system. A clogged filter not only affects the efficiency but can also lead to other parts of the system failing.

3. Compressor Failure: The compressor is the heart of your AC system, pumping refrigerant throughout the system. If it fails, your AC won’t cool your car.

At Cornubia Auto Care Pty Ltd, we ensure your car's air conditioning system remains at peak performance, using state-of-the-art diagnostic and repair tools to prevent these problems from troubling your rides. With us, your vehicle is in reliable hands, thanks to our comprehensive service and highly trained team.

Cornubia Auto Care Pty Ltd care about the environment. We have received Arctick Authorisation (AU38893), which allows us to conduct automotive air conditioning services responsibly and reliably.

With our service, you won't just keep your car's temperature at an optimum level, but also maintain a responsible approach towards our planet. So if your vehicle's air conditioning is struggling in the unpredictable weather conditions on the Brisbane coast or inland, trust the professionals at Cornubia Auto Care Pty Ltd to help keep your journeys pleasant and environmentally conscious.

Let the experience of the largest network of independent car service workshops in Australia work to your benefit. Rest easy knowing you have a nationwide warranty at Cornubia Auto Care Pty Ltd.

Looking for a great alternative to your dealership for new car servicing in Loganholme? Look no further! Cornubia Auto Care Pty Ltd is your friendly neighbourhood workshop that has got you covered.

When it comes to servicing, maintaining, or repairing your car, you have the freedom to choose where to go without worrying about voiding your manufacturer's warranty or losing your rights under the Consumer Guarantee. That’s right, you don't have to return to the dealership just because you bought the car there. As long as the service is done by a qualified professional following the manufacturer's specifications and using high-quality parts and fluids, your warranty remains intact.

At Cornubia Auto Care Pty Ltd, we tick all the boxes thanks to our partnership with Repco Authorised Service. Our mechanics are fully qualified and Auto-Tech trained, giving them access to the Australia’s premier source of automotive technical information and training.

Got a new car or planning to buy one? Make sure you know your rights inside out. Understand the differences between manufacturer, statutory, and extended warranties to avoid making any costly mistakes. You're automatically covered by a statutory warranty under Australian Consumer Law, and this can’t be overridden by manufacturer or express warranties, which are often just added by the car maker or dealer.

Beware of car dealers who might offer express or extended warranties that sound great but often come with a bunch of restrictions and provisions. These warranties don’t always provide benefits beyond your basic statutory rights and can lock you into long-term commitments with the dealership.

These so-called ‘extras’ often gloss over the downsides, like having to travel further for service or waiting longer due to fewer available service locations or mechanics.

So why wait? Swing by Cornubia Auto Care Pty Ltd in Loganholme and experience the difference of a truly independent, friendly, and professional service that keeps your car—and your wallet—happy.

Your Go-To Place for New Car Servicing in Loganholme

Differential bushings could be the issue if they are aged, worn or cracked.  They control movement in the joints, absorb road bumps and reduce vibrations and noise while driving or reversing. These are one of many automotive issue we can handle at Cornubia Auto Care Pty Ltd, your trusted local mechanic in Loganholme.

It is fair to say that the Ford Territory and Falcon are two of the most popular vehicles on Australian roads. Both of these models are prone to high rates of wear in some rear suspension components, such as the rear differential bushing. This is particularly apparent on vehicles that have travelled high kilometres, have high horsepower or vehicles towing loads regularly.

A tell-tale sign that this bushing is no longer performing as intended is hearing a clunking noise or feeling a jolt under acceleration or when shifting gears from drive to reverse. The primary function of the rear differential bushing is to provide a smooth and quiet transfer of power from the engine to the rear wheels of your vehicle under acceleration.

Should this issue go unresolved it may result in excessive wear on surrounding drive train and suspension components so it is wise and economical to act swiftly should you be experiencing any of these symptoms.

Your local Repco Authorised Service Centre Cornubia Auto Care Pty Ltd in Loganholme is experienced in diagnosing and fixing this problem. We can replace your worn rubber differential bushing with a highly durable Nolathane differential bushing specifically designed and manufactured to address this problem and return your vehicle back to its optimum performance.

So, if “clunking” goes with your Territory or Falcon, contact the team at Cornubia Auto Care Pty Ltd today.

At Cornubia Auto Care Pty Ltd in  Loganholme we believe the transmission is an important part of your vehicle.

Without the transmission, your vehicle would not be able to move between gears. The transmission fluid allows you to do this smoothly and also protects the working parts inside your transmission. The transmission fluid doesn't diminish through use. Yet the level should still be checked periodically because if there is a leak, or the fluid level is low, it will harm the internal parts of your transmission.

Transmission fluid can become dirty over time with metal shavings and other particles which will shorten the life of your transmission. Replacing a transmission is a costly exercise and so checking the fluid and replacing it when necessary is a good investment in the long run.

At Cornubia Auto Care Pty Ltd we provide a full 65 Point Vehicle Condition Report upon request with every full car service - This includes a check of your transmission fluid and we will advise you if we think your fluid needs to be replaced or if a transmission service might be needed.

Call Cornubia Auto Care Pty Ltd for all your diesel 4WD and diesel passenger vehicle repairs, inspections and services. We are conveniently located in Loganholme.

A diesel engine can be more efficient, better for the environment and cheaper to run than its petrol-powered counterpart. However, it still needs regular servicing to keep it running at an ultimate level and to help make sure nothing goes wrong.
