RWC, Multi-Point Check And Other Vehicle Inspections

If you’re planning on buying or otherwise transferring registration of a vehicle, you must first obtain a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC). This certificate, issued by a licensed vehicle tester after a thorough inspection, proclaims your vehicle meets the safety standards to be driven on Victorian roads.

Rather than sending your car for a basic service, ask Black Widow Automotive for a thorough multi-point check.

• Improves safety and reliability
• Increases fuel efficiency
• Decreases overall cost of ownership
• Helps to retain resale value

It is tempting to neglect the servicing of your vehicle, or to do the bare minimum and hope for the best, but thorough and regular checks have a host of benefits in the long run. 

Here at Black Widow Automotive, our expert staff can help you with:

• Roadworthy inspections
• Pre-purchase inspections
• Pre-trip inspections

Brake Services

Apart from your tyres, no system has a greater impact on your driving safety than your brakes. The condition of your brakes is often the deciding factor between an accident and an emergency stop, and your brakes suffer an astonishing amount of wear. They routinely bring over a tonne of material to a complete stop from high speeds, using only friction! For these reasons, Black Widow Automotive agrees with brake manufacturers that you should have your brakes checked at least once a year.

Engine

The engine is the hardest working component in your vehicle. Even with regular maintentance, repair work is sometimes needed. It might help to remember that your engine is basically powered by thousands of tiny explosions per minute.

If your engine is running fine, but you’re looking for a performance upgrade, speak to us about our dyno tuning program—this is a reversible, non invasive process where our performance experts measure your engine performance and reprogram the Engine Control Unit to provide better torque, performance, or fuel efficiency.

Here at Black Widow Automotive, our skilled mechanics can help you with:

• Engine reconditioning
• Engine testing
• EFI diagnostics

Steering And Suspension Services

Apart from your tyres, no system has a greater impact on your driving safety than your brakes. The condition of your brakes is often the deciding factor between an accident and an emergency stop, and your brakes suffer an astonishing amount of wear. They routinely bring over a tonne of material to a complete stop from high speeds, using only friction! For these reasons, Black Widow Automotive agrees with brake manufacturers that you should have your brakes checked at least once a year.

Air Conditioning

Air conditioning actually degrades more from disuse than from use, as the rubber tubing and seals dry up and crack, allowing the refrigerant gas to leak out and rob your aircon of its cooling power.

Here at Black Widow Automotive, our skilled technicians can fully repair your air conditioning, swapping out any cracked tubing and seals, replacing faulty compressors, condensers and other componenents, and finally recharging your system with refrigerant once we’re certain its airtight.

Clutch And Transmission Services

As part of the assembly that transmits power from the engine to the wheels, the transmission is made up of some of the most complex machinery in your vehicle. Due to their sophisticated nature, even minor issues can quickly escalate into costly repairs.

If you notice any of these warning signs, you should have your transmission checked sooner rather than later:

• Grinding or clunking noise when changing gears
• Difficulty staying in gear
• A burning smell after driving
• Leaking fluid

Here at Black Widow Aoutomotive, our expert technicians can help you with:

• Automatic transmissions
• Manual transmissions
• Differentials
• Clutches
• CV Joints
• Servicing
• Repairs and replacement

Cooling System

If your vehicle’s cooling system is malfunctioning it can affect everything from fuel efficiency and power output to engine lifespan, as overheating and leaking coolant damages the engine. If these problems are left untreated for long enough, your vehicle will end up immobile, with the cost of repairs being comparable to buying a secondhand car!

If your vehicle is running hot, Black Widow Automotive can help you with:

• Radiator/heater unit repairs and replacement
• Coolant flush
• Thermostat check and replacement
