Logbook Servicing
Whenever you purchase a new vehicle, the manufacturer provides you with a warranty that protects you from the cost of parts failures. This warranty is only valid if you have your vehicle regularly serviced by a certified mechanic according to the schedule in its logbook.
It’s a common misconception that you have to have your vehicle serviced at a dealer workshop, or you will void your warranty. This is common as manufacturer’s don’t go out of their way to dispel the rumour, but it is actually illegal for them to discriminate based on your choice of repairer.
Here at Cloncurry 4WD Services, our skilled mechanics are certified to provide logbook servicing for all:
- Petrol vehicles
- Diesel vehicles
Vehicle Inspections
If you’re planning on selling, buying, or changing the registration of a vehicle, you must first obtain a safety certificate. Issued after a thorough inspection, the safety certificate ensures your vehicle meets the safety standards to legally be driven on Queensland roads.
If you’re thinking about buying a secondhand vehicle, we would recommend bringing it in for a pre-purchase inspection. This inspection ensures that you know exactly what you’re buying, and helps you avoid any nasty surprises.
When you’re planning a long road trip or camping trip, we would recommend bringing your vehicle in for a pre-trip inspection. This way any issues can be found and fixed before you head out, and you can enjoy your trip with peace of mind.
Here at Cloncurry 4WD Services, our expert team can help you with safety certificates, pre-purchase inspections, pre-trip inspections, and modification plates.

Brake Services
Your brakes are the most important safety feature your vehicle has. While other safety systems, like airbags, can reduce the severity of an accident, your brakes can actually act preventatively, and the condition of your brakes can often be the difference between an accident and an emergency stop.
Your brakes also endure an incredible amount of wear, as they routinely bring over a tonne of material to a complete stop from high speeds, multiple times a day, using only friction. For this reason we agree with brake manufacturers that you should have your brakes checked at least once a year.
Cloncurry 4WD Services’ expert technicians can help you with:
- Brake component replacement
- Brake component machining
- Brake hose repairs
Steering & Suspension Services
Faults in your steering and suspension affect handling and ride comfort, causing issues such as play in the steering wheel, vibrations at speed, and body lean through corners. Your suspension is also responsible for maximising the grip that your tyres exert on the road surface, so a poor suspension will also increase your stopping distance.
Here at Cloncurry 4WD Services, our skilled mechanics can help you with:
- Wheel alignments
- Shock absorbers, springs and struts
- Wheel balancing
- Bushing replacement
- Power steering repairs and replacements
- Lift kits and 4WD upgrades
Exhaust Services
Everyone remembers that their engine needs petrol to function, but a lot of people forget about the second, equally important fuel that your engine needs: oxygen.
Your exhaust allows fresh air to flow into the engine bay by drawing the waste gases away and expelling them out of the back of your car. Issues with your exhaust will affect everything from fuel efficiency to power output, and if you’re looking for the most cost effective way to get a performance upgrade for your car, the exhaust is a good place to start.
Here at Cloncurry 4WD Services, we can help you with:
- Exhaust repairs
- Exhaust replacement
- Exhaust modifications
- Exhaust upgrades
Air Conditioning Services
Your air conditioning actually degrades more from disuse than from use, as the rubber tubing and seals, which make up the majority of the aircon system, dry up and crack when not in use, allowing the refrigerant gas to leak out and rob your AC of its cooling power.
There’s not much worse than being stuck in traffic on a summer day with broken air conditioning. Don’t let this happen to you! Cloncurry 4WD Services can fully repair your air conditioning, including:
- Servicing and Repairs
- Compressor replacement
- Condenser replacement
- Evaporator replacement
- Replacement of cracked tubing and seals
- Regassing your system with refrigerant once we’re certain its airtight
Clutch & Transmission Services
As part of the assembly that transmits power from the engine to the wheels, the transmission is comprised of some of the most complex and intricate machinery in your vehicle.
Due to their sophisticated nature, it’s better to catch these issues sooner rather than later. If you’ve noticed reduced power output, difficulty changing gears or staying in gear, or a burning smell after driving, you should have your transmission checked.
Here at Cloncurry 4WD Services, we can help you with:
- Servicing
- Repairs and replacement
- Automatic transmissions
- Manual transmissions
- Differentials
- CV Joints
Cooling System Services
If your cooling system is malfunctioning, it can cause myriad issues, from reduced power output and fuel efficency, to decreased engine lifespan, as overheating and leaking coolant damages the engine.
If these problems are left untreated for long enough, they will render your car immobile, with the cost of repairs being comparable to buying a secondhand car!
Here at Cloncurry 4WD Services, we can help you with:
- Radiator/heater unit repairs and replacement
- Head gaskets
- Coolant flush
- Thermostat check and replacement
Engine Services
If your engine isn’t working, the condition of the rest of your vehicle doesn’t matter – you don’t have a car, you have an expensive and heavy lawn ornament.
Here at Cloncurry 4WD Services, our expert mechanics can help you with:
- Engine blocks
- Cylinder heads
- EFI Diagnostics
Tyres
