Don't you hate that moment when you switch on the wipers at the first drop of rain and suddenly remember you haven't checked them in months! Constant exposure to the Australian conditions means your wipers will wear out. A good quality wiper blade like Trico is essential to help you see your way clear regardless of the weather. Mobile Maintenance Service can recommend a wiper blade or assembly that is right for your car.

Fluids and other components in your car can be effected by cold weather; this includes coolants, oils and items such as glow plugs in diesel vehicles. Regular services are important - especially by a professional who recognises the right parts and products for your particular vehicle make and model. We use high quality NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils and fluids that are designed for Australian conditions.  

Remember to always drive to the conditions. Slow down in wet weather or poor visibility and leave a larger than normal stopping distance between yourself and the vehicle in front. Drive on the safe side and book in today for a service or a 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report.

Be aware of the signals that your brakes need investigation, for example vibrating, spongy or slow responding brake pedal, strange sounds or difficult handling when applying pressure to your brakes. If you notice any of these it's best to have a qualified mechanic check it out. Brake inspections form part of our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report, so if you have concerns call us today and book in.

It's dangerous to drive on worn or incorrectly inflated tyres. Now is the time to take a good look at your tyres. If you notice spots which are worn unevenly, this could indicate that your shock absorbers or some other vital part of your steering and suspension systems are due for service or replacement.

Driving on tyres that are incorrectly inflated won't just cost you money on additional fuel; it can also impact your ability to stop. You can usually find manufacturers recommendations on a panel inside the driver side door.

In 1996, after gaining experience by working in the automotive industry since age 14, after school, on weekends and holidays, Vito Grasso started his own car service as the head mechanic of Mobile Maintenance Service in Severnlea. From his humble beginnings, he set up as a mobile car service, Mobile Maintenance Service performed auto repairs and maintenance on site, in the convenience of client homes or at customers business locations - including various vegetable farms in Severnlea and surrounding suburbs like Stanthorpe, Applethorpe, The Summit, Glen Aplin, Ballandean, Broadwater and nearby regions.

With a big tool box mounted on the back, the Mobile Maintenance Service vehicle soon gained local motorist trust. As the word spread of Vito's mechanical knowledge and repair and maintenance expertise, the demand for car servicing grew, leading to a need for a permanent workshop, and in 2003 Mobile Maintenance Service established a well equipped car service centre in spacious premises in Severnlea.

Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Severnlea

Brake fluid plays a crucial role in the safety of your vehicle by transferring the pressure you apply to the brake pedal to the actual brakes. Without it, your brakes simply wouldn’t function, and as everyone knows, a car without brakes is incredibly dangerous. Even slightly compromised brakes can pose a serious risk.

Brake fluid has a tendency to absorb moisture over time, which can compromise its effectiveness. Brake systems generate high temperatures, and brake fluid is specifically designed to have a high boiling point to prevent it from evaporating. However, when too much moisture builds up, the boiling point is lowered, making the fluid more prone to boiling under heat. This can lead to reduced brake fluid levels, ultimately affecting your vehicle’s braking performance and increasing stopping distances.

Why Is Brake Fluid Replacement Necessary?

In addition to reducing effectiveness, moisture-contaminated brake fluid can lead to corrosion within the braking system. Over time, this can damage components such as the callipers, wheel cylinders, and anti-lock braking systems (ABS). Regular replacement helps to extend the lifespan of these parts and maintain optimal braking performance.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it actively absorbs moisture from the surrounding environment, even through microscopic openings in the brake system. This is why regular maintenance is essential to ensure safety.

Your vehicle’s manufacturer will specify how often the brake fluid should be replaced—typically outlined in the logbook service schedule. At Mobile Maintenance Service, we recommend replacing it every two years as a general guideline. However, it’s equally important to have it checked during each routine service. A professional mechanic can assess the moisture content in the fluid and check for any leaks or other signs of wear that might require earlier attention.

How Often Should Brake Fluid Be Replaced?

Yes, at Mobile Maintenance Service, we provide a comprehensive 65-point vehicle inspection upon request with every full service. This includes a detailed review of your brake fluid, master cylinder, front and rear discs and pads, callipers, cylinders, and more. Our expert mechanics will assess the condition of your braking system and notify you if the brake fluid needs replacing or if any additional brake system repairs or maintenance are required. Regular checks can catch problems early, ensuring your safety on the road.

Maintaining your brake fluid is an essential part of car ownership, and neglecting it could lead to costly repairs or, worse, compromised safety. If you’re due for a brake fluid replacement or simply want peace of mind, book a service with Mobile Maintenance Service in Severnlea. Our team will make sure your braking system is in top condition, so you can drive with confidence.

Learn why brake fluid is essential for your vehicle’s safety, how it works, and why regular maintenance by Mobile Maintenance Service is crucial for optimal braking performance and to prevent costly repairs.

Brake Fluid: What It Is and Why It Matters

Brake Fluid: What Is It and Why Do You Need It?

Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even be aware that there is a clutch in your vehicle. Without it, the gears in your car will not change.

Mobile Maintenance Service in Severnlea know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below.

The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to spin, but what happens when your car needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop spinning but the wheels need to. It's the clutch that allows this to happen. The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run.

Some vehicles have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. Leaking clutch fluid can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At Mobile Maintenance Service in Severnlea we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you in the course of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection - which you can request as part of every car service.


You should have your clutch inspected if:

What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing

You notice a burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle

Your vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason

Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering

If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it could mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine. The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is contact your local mechanics at Mobile Maintenance Service today.

We can perform clutch diagnostics, service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Severnlea workshop.

The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation.

When it comes to ensuring your vehicle's optimal performance, suspension service and repairs are crucial. In the suburb of Severnlea, the experts at Mobile Maintenance Service are ready to help you keep your car in prime condition.

The suspension system is essential for a smooth and comfortable driving experience. It supports the vehicle's weight, absorbs shocks from the road, and ensures proper tyre contact with the surface. However, like any mechanical system, it can wear down over time. Regular checks and maintenance are key to avoiding potential issues.

When our mechanics inspect your vehicle, they focus on several key components:

Shock Absorbers and Struts: These are critical for dampening the impact of road irregularities. Worn-out shocks can lead to a bumpy ride and affect handling. If they are leaking or showing signs of wear, replacement is often necessary.

Springs: Responsible for supporting the vehicle’s weight and absorbing large bumps, springs can weaken or break over time. A damaged spring may cause the car to sag or ride unevenly.

Control Arms and Bushings: Control arms connect the vehicle's wheels to the chassis, allowing for controlled motion. Bushings, made of rubber, reduce friction and absorb some of the vibrations. Worn bushings can cause clunking noises and uneven tyre wear.

Ball Joints: These spherical bearings allow the suspension to move and are crucial for steering. Excessive play in ball joints can lead to poor handling and should be addressed immediately.

Anti-roll Bars: Also known as stabiliser bars, these components reduce body roll during cornering. Faulty anti-roll bars can lead to less stable handling.

Uneven Tyre Wear: This can indicate problems with alignment or suspension components.

Excessive Bouncing: If your car continues to bounce after hitting a bump, it could be a sign that the shocks or struts need attention.

Drifting or Pulling: This may occur when cornering if the suspension system isn't functioning properly.

Noisy Ride: Clunking or knocking noises can signal issues with control arms, bushings, or other parts.

At Mobile Maintenance Service, our skilled mechanics are well-versed in diagnosing and repairing all aspects of your suspension system. We provide a comprehensive service that includes thorough inspections, expert advice, and high-quality repairs. Our commitment to customer satisfaction and vehicle safety is what sets us apart.
