When you drive away in a new car, it's natural to want to protect your investment, especially when it comes to maintaining the warranty. Many people think that they have to return to the dealership for all their servicing needs, but that's not the case.  Thanks to Australian Consumer Law, you can choose who services your car without jeopardising your warranty. Opting for an independent service provider like P & L Mechanical Services can save you money while still ensuring top-notch care for your vehicle. New Car Warranty When you purchase a new car, it usually comes with a manufacturer's warranty that covers certain repairs and services for a specific period or mileage. This warranty provides peace of mind, but it's important to understand that you don't have to be tied to your dealership for maintenance and repairs to keep it active. Servicing your car outside of the dealership network can lead to significant cost savings. Dealerships often charge premium rates for their services, while independent service centers offer competitive pricing without compromising quality. By choosing a trusted local mechanic, you can get the same expert care while keeping some extra cash in your pocket. Moreover, independent service centers like our Melton South workshop can provide personalised and transparent service. You'll know exactly what work is being done and why, and you can expect straightforward communication about any additional repairs that might be necessary. Meeting Warranty Requirements P & L Mechanical Services is committed to delivering reliable service that aligns with all warranty requirements. We ensure that our technicians receive ongoing training to stay updated with the latest in vehicle technology. This commitment to excellence means your car gets the care it needs, using quality parts that meet industry standards. With a network like the Repco Authorised Service Centres, our support system ensures that no matter where you are, you're covered. Each service is backed by a nationwide warranty, offering peace of mind alongside affordability. Your car, your choice! There's no need to be tied to a dealership for your servicing needs. P & L Mechanical Services is here to offer you exceptional service, friendly communication, and the assurance that your warranty will remain intact. So why not make the switch and enjoy the benefits of choosing a local business.

At P & L Mechanical Services, we believe that every step towards sustainability counts. One of our key initiatives is collaborating with oil vendors to transition to more eco-friendly drums. This change is not just about using better materials; it's about making a significant impact on our environment. Why It's Important: Supporting eco-friendly practices helps reduce your carbon footprint. By choosing products and methods that are kinder to the planet, we contribute to a healthier ecosystem. Eco-friendly drums reduce waste and are often made from recycled materials, minimising the impact on our natural resources. It's a straightforward way to play a part in preserving our world for future generations. How P & L Mechanical Services are helping: We are committed to greener practices by using more eco-friendly products. Our team works closely with oil vendors to ensure that we are always aligned with the best sustainable practices. By adopting these eco-friendly drums, we not only reduce waste but also encourage other industry players to join in our efforts. We believe that by taking the lead in using these products, we can inspire broader changes across the industry. How you can help: Being eco-friendly extends to everyday habits, such as regularly servicing your car. Routine maintenance ensures that your vehicle runs efficiently, which reduces harmful emissions and fuel consumption.  Simple acts like checking your tyre pressure, changing oil filters, and tuning your engine can make a significant difference in your car’s environmental impact. By keeping your vehicle in top shape, you contribute to a cleaner environment while also improving your car’s performance and longevity. Our friendly approach means that we are always open to discussing how you can be a part of this movement. Whether you are a vendor, a partner, or a customer, we are here to support you in making choices that benefit the environment. Let's work together for a greener future.

At P&L Mechanical, we believe that protecting our environment is a responsibility we all share.

Our Environmental Stance

Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.

Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. P & L Mechanical Services in Melton South are very knowledgeable and experienced in looking after these systems.  It is recommended that you exchange your radiator coolant fluid every two years or 40,000 km's whichever comes first. However the size of the engine, the climate in your area, the age of your current coolant, and the total miles that have been driven can all affect the need to replace the coolant in your radiator. Knowing when to replenish your radiator fluid isn't always easy - obviously, when it has gone a dirty brown colour it's a sign it probably needs to be flushed and replaced - however even fresh-looking coolant could have lost its corrosion protection properties and without measuring its reserve alkalinity there's no signal that it is no longer protecting your vehicle components, and it could even be doing more damage than good. Maintaining good coolant means your radiator system will be much better protected from corrosion and will have a longer life span, it will help prevent you from having to replace expensive engine components. At P & L Mechanical Services in Melton South at your request, we will perform a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report for free as part of any minor, major or log book service. Part of this inspection includes checking the level and condition of coolant in your system and the written report will advise you if we feel a radiator flush, fluid replacement or any repairs are required to maintain the performance of your vehicle.

Even if it looks clean, your coolant still might need replacing!
