Something just doesn’t feel right… Suddenly your car seems to be jerking around every bend, takes ages to start, the steering feels a little jittery and a cloud of smoke seems to engulf anyone unlucky enough to be standing behind your car when you pull away from a stop street. In short – Something’s wrong.
Come into the Carlos W Power service centre, and one of our qualified technicians will gladly perform a courtesy check – FREE OF CHARGE. We will assess the situation, and report the findings on the spot. Should we be able to repair your vehicle right there and then, we will do so immediately. Should the time not be convenient for you, you can arrange for a more suitable time or date to bring your vehicle back for repairs.
This Check will not include computerised diagnosis.*NOTE: Try to provide as much information as possible with regards to the particular problem, when you bring your vehicle in for a courtesy check. This will enable the technician to make an accurate diagnosis.

Fitment is free, while wheel balancing and wheel alignment are charged at a nominal fee. You can also bring in your vehicle for a free tyre roadworthy check.

As the battery runs all the electrical components in your vehicle, it is necessary for the battery and alternator to be checked at regular intervals. Pop in and a spot-check will be performed on these two vital elements of your vehicle. Regular checks are recommended to avoid any unwanted electrical problems, such as not being able to start your vehicle in the morning. Brakes
Brakes are always checked during a scheduled service (and replaced if deemed necessary – with your prior approval, of course), but if you at any time feel in doubt about the working order of your vehicle’s brakes – Bring your vehicle in for a courtesy inspection. Our qualified technicians can then advise you of the best solution for any braking problems, and arrange for the work to be carried out at your convenience. The brake service also includes the checking of brake fluid levels, and replacement of brake fluid if required. Whether a full brake change, brake fluid replacement, or simply a courtesy check is required, the Carlos W Power service centre is the place to go.
