Buying a new car is one of life's major investments, so proper care is essential. In addition to regular cleaning and interior detailing, it's crucial to select the right service provider to maintain your car's health and uphold the manufacturer's warranty.

The freedom to choose your car service provider is a valuable right under Australian Consumer Law. You can service, maintain, and repair your vehicle at competitive prices without worrying about invalidating your warranty. Here’s why Border Mechanical should be your top choice:

Why Service your New Car at Border Mechanical in Goondiwindi?

Qualified Professionals: Our mechanics are fully qualified and Auto-Tech trained, ensuring they stay up-to-date with the latest automotive service techniques.

Quality Parts and Fluids: We use high-quality Repco branded parts and products that meet stringent standards and come with our Nationwide Warranty.

Warranty Compliance: All services adhere to the manufacturer’s specifications, preserving your car’s warranty.

Convenient and Reliable: Enjoy peace of mind with service from a reputable provider in Goondiwindi, without the hassle of returning to the original dealership.

It’s essential to be well-informed about the various warranties and your statutory rights:

Statutory Warranty: Also known as a Consumer Guarantee, this provides automatic protection under Australian Consumer Law. It cannot be overridden by manufacturer or express warranties.

Manufacturer Warranty: Offered by the car maker, it often includes terms that must be met to stay valid.

Extended Warranties: These are typically added by dealers and may come with extensive restrictions or provisions, often providing little additional benefit over statutory rights.

When buying a new car, be cautious of additional warranties offered by dealers. They can come with long-term contracts that may not offer significant advantages and can limit your service options.

So at the time of sale, be alert for new car dealers who may try to factor in “express” or “extended” warranties, often for free. Most of the time these ‘supplemental' warranties may include quite extensive restrictions or provisions, and are not always very clear. Many times these additional extras provide little or no additional benefits over and above the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with a particular new car dealership.

Such additional extras are very unlikely to bring attention to the potential negative aspects involved with taking a new car back to the dealer for service or repair. This includes how far you will have to drive to get your car serviced or longer waiting times due to fewer available service locations or mechanics.

At Border Mechanical, we understand the importance of your investment and are dedicated to providing top-notch service that complies with all warranty requirements. Our mechanics use only high-quality parts and fluids, ensuring your vehicle receives the best care possible.

Border Mechanical offer Specialist Suspension and Brake Testing

Your car's braking and suspension play crucial roles in ensuring you can stop efficiently and safely as well as quickly when you need to. All Repco Authorised Service centres take safety very seriously and Border Mechanical are no exception.

So if your car rocks or sways when cornering, or your vehicle is not braking the way it used to or you just want peace of mind your braking ability is up to the task, then let us make sure your vehicle will stop safely, in a straight line and in the shortest possible distance, when you need to.

A Safe-T-Stop test exceeds a general inspection and road test as it provides accurate, real time data for analysis by a trained technician to provide accurate measurement of your braking capacity and act accordingly. A Safe-T-Stop test provides an added safety element by scientifically testing your braking capacity and ensuring correct adjustment can be applied to maximise stopping performance, all without having to leave the workshop.

Utilising electronically accurate PlateTronic test equipment, a Border Mechanical technician uses the Safe-T-Stop test lanes to precisely measure and simulate a vehicle's braking performance and can replicate actual road conditions, including what might happen in an emergency stopping situation!

Having your brakes and suspension in top condition can save you money as there is less tyre wear and tyre drag, both of which contribute to increased fuel consumption. Tyre wear means you need to replace your tyres sooner and degrades tyre performance while tyre drag places further demands on the engine, making it work harder. Read more about tyre & Wheel Service

A Safe-T-Stop inspection will give you an accurate and detailed printed report which will enable Border Mechanical technicians to inform you of any critical adjustments that should be made to your suspension or brakes to increase the safety of your car (and save you money at the pump).
