WHAT TO EXPECT

At a pre-trip 4WD service, our mechanics will ensure your tyres are inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure. Under or over-inflated tyres can lead to uneven tyre wear or blowouts on rough land. We’ll also check and top-up all fluid levels, including engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and power steering fluid. 


Your brakes undergo significant strain when traversing off-road. If left unchecked, worn pads can lead to reduced braking power and even failure. Our mechanics will inspect your pads and discs for wear, as well as the brake lines for leaks or cracks. 


We’ll also make sure your lights are functioning properly, from headlights to indicators and hazard lights. This is crucial for both on and off-road visibility. 


Our pre-trip service includes a thorough inspection of your shock absorbers and steering knuckles for signs of damage. Get ready to tackle any terrain—contact us.
