Brake & Clutch
Your vehicle’s brake and clutch systems play a crucial role in safety, drivability and control. If you're noticing squeaking, grinding, delayed braking, a soft pedal, or difficulty changing gears, these could be early signs of wear. At Coasteer Automotive, we inspect, repair and replace all brake and clutch components, including discs, pads, master cylinders and hydraulic lines.
Whether you're dealing with brake fade or a slipping clutch, our team uses quality parts and proven techniques to restore performance and safety. Don’t wait for it to get worse—book in for an inspection and drive with confidence.
Exhaust
A faulty exhaust system can lead to increased noise, reduced power, poor fuel efficiency and even failed emissions tests. Common issues include rusted pipes, cracked manifolds, worn-out mufflers and leaking joints. We provide full exhaust system inspections and repairs to restore proper airflow and engine efficiency.
Whether you need a simple replacement or a full system rebuild, we’ll ensure your vehicle runs cleanly and quietly. Addressing exhaust issues early can also prevent engine strain and save you money in the long run. Trust our team to keep your exhaust system in top working order.
Suspension & Steering
Your suspension and steering systems are key to how your car handles, corners and responds to road conditions. If you’re experiencing a rough ride, uneven tyre wear, body roll or poor steering response, it could be time for a closer look.
We repair and replace springs, control arms, bushings, tie rods and steering racks to restore smooth, stable performance. A well-maintained suspension not only improves comfort but can also reduce uneven tyre wear and overall vehicle integrity. Whether you drive in town or on tougher terrain, we’ll get your handling back on track.
Transmission
Transmission problems often start small—like a delayed shift, a slipping gear or a strange noise—and can quickly turn into major, costly repairs if left unchecked. We offer comprehensive diagnostics and servicing for both automatic transmissions.
We supply and fit external transmission coolers, which is particularly important for vehicles that tow regularly, to keep transmission temperatures down and help reduce wear. A properly functioning transmission ensures better fuel economy, smoother acceleration and a longer vehicle lifespan. If something feels off when you change gears, don’t ignore it—book in with our team for expert attention.
Radiators & Cooling Systems
Your radiator and cooling system work hard to keep your engine from overheating, especially during long drives or hot weather. Symptoms like coolant leaks, temperature spikes or steam under the bonnet could point to a problem. We inspect, flush and repair cooling systems, including radiators, hoses, water pumps, thermostats and fans.

Keeping this system in good condition is essential—a poor cooling system can cause catastrophic engine failure. Whether you’re topping up coolant too often or seeing warning lights, our team can diagnose and fix the issue quickly. Stay cool under pressure with professional cooling system care.
FAQ
How often should I service my car?
Most manufacturers recommend servicing your car every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres or every 6 to 12 months—whichever comes first. However, this can vary depending on the vehicle’s make, model, age, and how it’s driven. For example, cars driven in stop-start city traffic, dusty environments or for towing may need more frequent servicing. Following your vehicle’s logbook schedule is the best way to ensure it stays in good condition, avoids unexpected breakdowns, and keeps your warranty intact.
What’s included in a full car service?
A full car service usually includes oil and filter changes, brake inspection, fluid level top-ups, tyre pressure and tread checks, battery testing, light and indicator checks, and a general inspection of belts, hoses and the exhaust system. Depending on the service interval and manufacturer’s guidelines, additional checks such as air filter replacements, coolant flushes or spark plug changes may be included. It’s always worth asking your mechanic for a checklist so you know exactly what’s been done.
What happens if I skip a service?
Skipping a service can lead to long-term damage and higher repair costs. Over time, oil breaks down, filters clog, brake pads wear thin and small issues can turn into major mechanical failures. Ignoring routine maintenance may also void your vehicle’s warranty or registration compliance. Even if your car seems to be running fine, regular servicing ensures unseen problems are caught early before they cause expensive or dangerous issues on the road.
