What we do
What we do in Whanganui
Cars break down at the worst times, usually when you're about to leave for work or the school run. JC Autos brings the gear and know-how to your driveway, garage or roadside, so the job gets sorted where the vehicle sits. Below is a rundown of the jobs most commonly booked in Whanganui.
Battery Testing And Replacement
A car that won't start is often a flat or failing battery, especially on cold mornings. This covers testing the charging system and fitting a replacement wherever the car is parked.
Warrant Of Fitness Prep
Before a WOF check, it pays to sort out lights, tyres, brakes and other common fail points. This visit finds and fixes the issues that would otherwise send you back for a retest.
Brake Inspection And Repair
Squealing, grinding or a soft pedal usually means the brakes need attention. This job checks pads, discs and fluid, and replaces worn parts before they become a safety problem.
Oil And Filter Service
Regular servicing keeps an engine running smoothly and picks up small problems early. This includes changing the oil and filter and checking fluid levels and belts while the car is on your drive.
Pre-Purchase Vehicle Check
Buying a used car is a gamble without a proper look underneath. This inspection checks the engine, brakes and general condition before you hand over money for a vehicle.
Breakdown Diagnostics
When a warning light comes on or the engine starts running rough, it helps to know what's wrong before booking a workshop. This visit finds the cause and explains what needs doing next.
