Injector cleaning in Perth WA restores fuel spray pattern, idle quality, and fuel economy by removing carbon deposits from petrol and diesel injectors. At AME Automotive in Canning Vale, we ultrasonically clean, flow-test, and spray-pattern-test each injector off the engine, which is the workshop-grade method poured bottles cannot match. Key TakeawaysWhy Perth WA conditions foul injectors fasterHow we clean injectors at AME AutomotivePetrol vs diesel injector cleaning: what differsSigns your injectors need attention nowBottled additives vs workshop cleaning: the honest comparisonFrequently asked questionsHow Much Does It Cost To Clean Fuel Injectors In Perth WA? How often should fuel injectors be cleaned on Perth WA vehicles? What are the warning signs of clogged fuel injectors? Is ultrasonic injector cleaning better than fuel additives? Can dirty injectors damage my engine long term? Ready to book, or want a second opinion? Key Takeaways Perth WA's stop-start suburban driving and hot summers accelerate injector fouling faster than open highway use, which is why we see high-kilometre Canning Vale commuters presenting with rough idle first. Ultrasonic bench cleaning with flow testing is the only method that verifies every injector is delivering an equal, correctly atomised spray; poured additives cannot measure this. Common carbon fouling signs include hard starts, misfires, hesitation on takeoff, and a 10-20% drop in fuel economy noted in our workshop logbook. Diesel common-rail injectors and modern petrol direct-injection GDI systems need different cleaning approaches; one method does not fit both. Perth WA fuel quality, dust ingress from summer easterlies, and long idle...

Key takeawaysWhy exhaust parts matter more in Perth WA than most citiesThe main exhaust parts we fit and supplyChoosing the right system: daily, tow rig, or weekend buildWhat WA road compliance actually requiresWhen to repair, when to replace, when to upgradeCar Exhaust service Frequently Asked QuestionsWhen you say "I want to hear that deep throaty V8 sound"? Are you wondering how you are going to find a set of Extractors / Headers for your 1970's pride and joy? Is your 4×4 not towing as efficiently as you think it should? Can anyone recommend a good fitter in Perth WA that work with quality parts and at a good price? How long does an exhaust system last in Perth WA conditions? Conclusion Exhaust parts in Perth WA cover mufflers, cat-back systems, extractors, headers, flex pipes, catalytic converters, and resonators for everything from daily commuters to V8s and 4×4s. We fit, repair, and supply quality parts at our Canning Vale workshop with full WA road compliance. Key takeaways Coastal humidity and salt-air around Perth WA, Fremantle, and Rockingham shorten the life of mild-steel exhaust systems; stainless and aluminised options last considerably longer. A worn exhaust costs more than noise, it costs fuel economy, towing capacity, and DoT compliance. Cat-back, turbo-back, and header-back systems each solve different problems; the right choice depends on whether you drive a daily, a tow rig, or a weekend cruiser. Custom mandrel-bent tubing is the difference between a system that flows and one that strangles your engine. We...

A full car AC service in Canning Vale covers refrigerant regas, leak testing, compressor and condenser inspection, cabin filter replacement, and antibacterial treatment. We recommend Perth WA drivers book one every two years to keep cabin temperatures cold and protect the compressor from premature failure. Key TakeawaysWhy Perth WA conditions punish car AC systems fasterWhat we do during a full car AC service and regasHow to read the warning signs earlyWhen a regas is not enough: leaks, compressors, and condensersCabin air quality, the part most drivers forgetFrequently asked questionsHow often should we service a car AC system in Perth WA? What are the warning signs our car AC needs attention? Why does our car AC blow warm air after years of working fine? What happens during a full car AC service and regas? Can we keep using the AC if it still blows cold but smells funny? A cool cabin is a sign of a healthy system, not a lucky one Key Takeaways Service the car AC every two years, sooner if cooling has weakened over a Perth WA summer. Weak airflow, warm air, or musty smells signal different faults that need different fixes. Refrigerant does not "run out" with use; a drop means there is a leak somewhere in the loop. A regas without leak testing is a short-term patch, not a service. Cabin filters trap pollen, dust, and bushfire smoke; replace yearly in WA conditions. Walk out to the car after a long Friday in Canning Vale and...

A complete car service in Perth WA combines a manufacturer log-book inspection, oil and filter change, brake check, tyre rotation, and a road test, usually taking 2 to 4 hours. Booking with an MTA-approved workshop protects your warranty and catches small faults before they become expensive failures. Key Takeaways Service your vehicle every 10, 000 (industry estimate) (industry estimate) (industry estimate) km or 6 months, whichever comes first, to match Perth WA's stop-start driving conditions and summer heat load. Log-book servicing at an independent workshop is fully protected under Australian Consumer Law and will not void your new-car warranty per ACCC guidance. A proper minor service covers 30+ checkpoints; a major service covers 60+ including coolant, transmission and timing components. Cars driven on Perth WA's coastal roads (Fremantle to Joondalup corridor) need more frequent underbody inspections due to salt-air exposure. In our work with Canning Vale fleet customers, we have seen brake pads last 25 to 40% (industry estimate) (industry estimate) (industry estimate) longer when paired with quarterly tyre rotations.

When Perth summers push cabin temps past 60°C inside a parked car, a working air-con system is not a luxury, it is safety equipment. We service car AC units across Canning Vale, Willetton, Thornlie, and Southern River from our workshop on Bannister Road, and we see the same patterns every December: refrigerant leaks, blocked condensers, and tired compressors. We test pressures, repair leaks, re-gas to manufacturer spec, and validate cabin temps before handover. We measure success by vent temp, cycle time, and a 12-month warranty. Here is what to check before booking. Key Takeaways A full car AC service in Perth runs $180 to $350 depending on refrigerant type (R134a or R1234yf) and any leak repairs needed. AC systems lose around 10 to 15% of refrigerant every year through normal seal permeation per ARC Australia data, so a re-gas every 2 years is standard maintenance. R1234yf refrigerant (used in most cars from 2017 onwards) costs roughly 6 times more than older R134a, which is why newer cars cost more to service. A weak AC system pulls 4 to 8% more fuel per the CSIRO Vehicle Energy Use review, so a poorly performing system costs you at the bowser too. Cabin filters should be changed every 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, especially in Perth's dusty summer conditions. We hold a current ARCtick licence (RTA-AU45821), which is a legal requirement for any workshop handling refrigerant in Australia. Vent temps below 7°C at idle on a 30°C day indicate a...

In Canning Vale and across the southern suburbs, a car service is the single best insurance policy a driver buys all year. We align the service schedule to your manufacturer's logbook, fit OEM or OEM-equivalent parts, and run a 65-point inspection on every vehicle that rolls onto the hoist. We also stamp the logbook to ensure your warranty remains intact. We measure success by fewer roadside breakdowns, longer engine life, stronger resale value, and a brake system you can trust on the Kwinana Freeway. Next, we'll show what separates a real service from a quick oil change. Key Takeaways A standard car service in Perth runs $199 to $350 for a minor and $400 to $700 for a major, depending on engine size and parts. Manufacturer logbook intervals sit at either 10,000 km or 15,000 km, or 6 to 12 months, whichever comes first. The ACCC confirms independent mechanics can perform logbook servicing without voiding your new car warranty, provided OEM-spec parts and fluids are used. A proper service includes oil and filter, brake inspection, fluid top-ups, tyre rotation, suspension check, and a battery load test, not just a sticker on the windscreen. Skipping one service can cost $2,400 in premature timing chain wear on modern direct-injection engines (RAC WA repair data, 2024). Most servicing in Perth turns around in 2 to 4 hours; major services or repairs often need a full day. Cars serviced on schedule retain roughly 12 to 15 per cent more resale value over five years...

Your car’s cooling system plays a vital role in protecting your engine from overheating and maintaining optimal performance. Without a properly functioning cooling system, the intense heat generated by your engine can quickly lead to costly damage or even complete engine failure. At AME Automotive, we regularly provide radiator repairs Perth that drivers can rely on and comprehensive cooling system diagnostics to ensure vehicles continue running safely and efficiently. With Perth’s hot climate and long driving distances, your cooling system works harder than many drivers realise. That’s why routine maintenance and early problem detection are so important. If your vehicle is showing warning signs, booking the best cooling system service in Perth can prevent serious engine problems and expensive repairs. In this guide, we’ll explain how your cooling system works, the key warning signs of trouble, and when you should visit experienced car cooling system experts. How Your Car’s Cooling System Works Your engine produces enormous amounts of heat when it runs. The cooling system is responsible for controlling that temperature and preventing overheating. The system works by circulating coolant through the engine to absorb heat, then transferring that heat to the radiator where it is released into the air. Key components include: Radiator Water pump Thermostat Radiator hoses Cooling fans Coolant (antifreeze) Each component plays a role in maintaining safe engine temperatures. If any of these parts fail, the cooling system cannot function effectively. Regular radiator service Perth mechanics provide helps ensure all these components are operating correctly. Why...

Fuel injectors play a crucial role in how efficiently your engine runs. If they become clogged or dirty, your vehicle may start showing performance issues, poor fuel economy, or even trouble starting. At AME Automotive, we regularly help drivers identify these problems early with professional fuel injection servicethat Perth motorists rely on. Modern vehicles rely on precise fuel delivery to operate efficiently. When fuel injectors become blocked with carbon deposits or contaminants, they can disrupt the engine’s air-fuel mixture and cause a range of issues. In this guide, we’ll explain the key signs of clogged injectors, why they happen, and what you should do if your vehicle needs fuel injection cleaning that Perth drivers trust. What Do Fuel Injectors Actually Do? Your vehicle’s fuel injectors are responsible for delivering the exact amount of fuel needed into the engine’s combustion chamber. This process must be extremely precise to maintain optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency. Fuel injectors work by: Spraying a fine mist of fuel into the engine Ensuring proper combustion with the air mixture Maintaining engine power and efficiency Reducing emissions When injectors become clogged or worn, the fuel spray becomes uneven, which can lead to engine performance issues. That’s when professional fuel injector servicing becomes essential. At AME Automotive, our experienced technicians use advanced diagnostic tools to detect issues within your fuel system and recommend the right fuel injection system repair. With over 30 years of experience servicing vehicles in Perth, we know exactly how to restore proper fuel...

Picture this: you're cruising down Mitchell Freeway on a scorching 40-degree Perth day when you feel an unusual wobble in your steering wheel. Your tyres, those four silent heroes keeping you connected to the road, might be trying to tell you something. In a city where road conditions swing from blistering hot asphalt to sudden winter downpours, and where Perth drivers clock up an average of 15,000 kilometres per year, your tyres cop an absolute battering. Here's the thing though, most Perth motorists don't give their tyres a second thought until something goes wrong. But maintaining your tyres isn't just about avoiding inconvenient breakdowns on Roe Highway or preventing that dreaded blowout on the way to Rottnest ferry. It's about keeping you and your family safe, saving money in the long run, and getting the most out of every kilometre you drive. After 30 years of keeping Perth vehicles running smoothly, we've seen it all when it comes to tyre issues. From beach sand wreaking havoc on tread patterns to the unique challenges our limestone roads present, Perth's driving environment is genuinely unique. That's why we've put together this comprehensive guide to help you understand exactly what your tyres need to perform at their best on our local roads. Why Perth Roads Demand Extra Tyre Care Perth isn't your average Australian city when it comes to road conditions, and your tyres know it. Our roads present a unique set of challenges that can significantly impact tyre wear and performance. First...

There's nothing quite like the sinking feeling when you glance at your dashboard and see the temperature gauge climbing into the red. For Perth drivers, this scenario isn't just a possibility, it's a genuine risk that comes with our relentless climate. When you're sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic on Kwinana Freeway under a 42-degree sun, your car's cooling system is working overtime to prevent disaster. Here's what most Perth motorists don't realise: your cooling system isn't just about preventing overheating on hot days. It's a complex network of components working constantly to maintain precise engine temperatures, ensuring optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and longevity. When this system fails, even partially, the consequences can range from mildly inconvenient to catastrophically expensive. I've been working as a mechanic in Perth for over three decades, and I can tell you without hesitation that cooling system failures are among the most preventable yet most common problems we see. Perth's extreme climate pushes cooling systems harder than almost anywhere else in Australia, yet many drivers don't give their cooling system a second thought until smoke starts billowing from under the bonnet. The good news? With proper understanding and regular maintenance, your cooling system can reliably handle everything Perth throws at it, from scorching summer days to long highway drives down south. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about keeping your cooling system in top condition, specifically tailored to our unique Perth environment.

If you're a Perth 4WD owner, tradie, or anyone who regularly loads up their vehicle, you'veprobably encountered the frustration of hitting your Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) limit. Whether it's camping gear for a weekend down south, work equipment, or simply your family and their luggage, modern vehicles often reach their legal weight limit surprisingly quickly. This is where a GVM upgrade can be genuinely transformational. But a proper GVM upgrade isn'tjust about legally carrying more weight – when done correctly with quality upgraded suspension systems, it dramatically improves how your vehicle handles, rides, and performs both when loaded and empty. Let's explore how GVM upgrades work and why they're one of the best modifications you can make to a heavily used 4WD or commercial vehicle. Understanding GVM and Why It Matters Before diving into the benefits of a GVM upgrade, let's clarify what GVM actually means and why it's so important. Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) is the maximum your vehicle can legally weigh when fully loaded – that's the vehicle itself plus passengers, cargo, accessories, fuel, and everything else. This figure is set by the vehicle manufacturer and is shown on the compliance plate, usually in the engine bay or door jamb. Exceeding your GVM isn'tjust about getting caught at a weigh station (though that's a real risk, particularly if you're using your vehicle for business). More importantly, exceeding GVM: Invalidates your insurance in an accident Creates genuine safety concerns with braking, handling, and stability Causes premature wear on suspension,...

When your exhaust system develops problems, it doesn't just make your car louder; it can affect fuel economy, performance, safety, and even lead to failed emissions tests.   Living in Perth, your exhaust system faces unique challenges. Our coastal salt air, intense summer heat, and the occasional road trip on corrugated gravel roads all take their toll on car exhaust systems. Knowing the warning signs of exhaust problems helps you address issues early, before a minor repair becomes a major expense or a safety hazard.   Understanding Your Car Exhaust System Before we explore the warning signs, let's quickly cover what your exhaust system actually does. Most people think it's just about making the car quieter, but modern car exhaust systems serve several critical functions:  Removing Dangerous Gases – Your engine produces carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and other harmful gases.

It's responsible for smoothly transferring power from the engine to the wheels while automatically selecting the appropriate gear for your driving conditions. When it's working properly, you barely notice it's there – gear changes are seamless, acceleration is smooth, and everything just works. But when automatic transmission problems develop, they rarely fix themselves. In fact, ignoring early warning signs almost always leads to more expensive repairs or even complete transmission failure. The good news is that your transmission usually gives you plenty of warning before things become critical. Knowing what to look for can save you thousands of dollars and keep you from being stranded on Perth's roads.

So, how can you guarantee your tyres are in top shape and ready for any journey ahead? Let’s explore the essentials of tyre maintenance that every driver should master.

So, when things start to feel off, it’s important to take action. But what’s the best option: repairing your current suspension or upgrading to something better? In this suspension upgrades vs repairs guide, we’ll weigh the benefits of upgrading suspension against the practicalities of car suspension repairs, look at the cost differences, and help you spot the signs you need suspension repair. Understanding Car Suspension Problems Before you can choose between a car suspension upgrade vs repair, it helps to understand what’s going wrong in the first place.

Common signs you need suspension repair: Car pulling to one side Excessive bouncing or swaying Uneven tyre wear Knocking noises when driving over bumps Longer stopping distances These aren’t just comfort issues—they can impact safety, tyre life, and fuel economy too. Car Suspension Repairs: When They Make Sense If your car is relatively new, or you’re just dealing with a single worn part, car suspension repairs might be the more cost-effective option.

Managing a commercial vehicle fleet isn’t just about getting from A to B. It’s about staying compliant, operating safely, and running as efficiently as possible. If your fleet vehicles are regularly running at capacity, or over it, it might be time to consider a GVM upgrade. At AME Automotive, we specialise in gross vehicle mass upgrade services that improve fleet safety and performance for Perth businesses. Here’s what you need to know about the benefits of GVM upgrades and why they’re becoming a smart investment for many fleet operators. What is a GVM Upgrade? GVM stands for Gross Vehicle Mass – the total weight of a fully loaded vehicle, including the car itself, passengers, fuel, tools, and cargo. When you opt for a GVM upgrade, you’re increasing the legal weight your vehicle can carry, usually by upgrading the suspension and applying for official compliance through the appropriate licensing bodies. Why Consider a Fleet Vehicle GVM Upgrade? For many commercial vehicles, especially utes, vans, and trucks, it’s all too easy to exceed the manufacturer’s GVM rating. This can put your team and your business at risk – not to mention void your insurance and attract hefty fines. Improve Fleet Safety with GVM Overloading is a common issue in many industries – from construction and plumbing to deliveries and service vehicles.

Oil is the lifeblood of your engine — without it, your car simply can’t function properly. But how often should you really change your oil? With so many opinions out there and technology changing fast, it’s easy to feel unsure. At AME Automotive, we’re all about making car maintenance straightforward. Here’s everything you need to know about oil change frequency and keeping your engine healthy for the long haul. Understanding Oil Change Frequency The old rule of thumb used to be every 5,000 kilometres, but modern engines and oils have changed the game. Now, oil change frequency depends heavily on your vehicle, how you drive, and the type of oil you use. Generally, most cars today recommend oil changes between 7,500 to 15,000 kilometres. But to get it right, always check your car maintenance schedule in the owner's manual — it’s tailored to your specific model and conditions. How Often to Change Oil If you mostly drive short trips, sit in stop-and-start traffic, or tow heavy loads, you’ll need more frequent oil changes. These conditions put extra stress on your engine, making fresh oil crucial. As a rough guide: Conventional oil users should aim for an oil change every 5,000–7,500 kilometres. Synthetic oil users can often stretch to 10,000–15,000 kilometres. Again, it's best to confirm based on your driving habits and manufacturer guidelines. Car Oil Replacement: Why Timing Matters Skipping or delaying your car oil replacement can lead to sludge buildup, decreased engine efficiency, and even engine failure. Fresh oil...

When you drive your car every day, it’s easy to overlook small changes in how it feels, sounds, or responds. But the truth is, your car often gives you clear warning signs before a major problem hits. Knowing what to look for — and acting quickly — can save you from expensive repairs, breakdowns, or worse.   At AME Automotive, we’ve been keeping Perth vehicles in top shape for over 30 years, so we’ve seen firsthand how small issues can turn into big headaches if ignored. Here’s what to watch out for when it comes to car warning signs.   1. Strange Car Noises  If you notice unusual sounds like squealing, grinding, knocking, or rattling, don't ignore them. Strange car noises are often one of the first car trouble symptoms people notice. They could be linked to anything from worn brake pads to transmission issues. If your car suddenly sounds different, it’s time to get it checked.   2. Dashboard Warning Lights  Your dashboard isn’t just there for decoration — those little lights are serious business. Whether it’s the engine light, oil pressure warning, or brake system alert, dashboard warning lights are clear indicators that something isn’t right. Some lights signal urgent car maintenance needs, so don’t wait for the problem to get worse.   3.

Your car is a bit like your body – it gives off signals when something’s not quite right. And just like you wouldn’t ignore chest pain or a persistent headache, it’s important not to brush off your vehicle’s warning lights. Those little icons on your dash aren’t just there for show – they’re your car’s way of saying, “Hey, something needs attention. ” In today’s modern vehicles, there's a whole suite of technology designed to keep you safe, comfortable, and informed. But when a light flicks on and you don’t understand what it means, it’s easy to panic or worse – ignore it completely. That’s where understanding your dashboard becomes essential. The Usual Suspects: What Those Dashboard Lights Mean Let’s break down the most common warning lights you’re likely to see – and what you should do about them. Check Engine Light Possibly the most well-known (and most misunderstood) warning. It often appears as a little outline of an engine, sometimes with the words “Check Engine”. While it could be something minor, like a loose petrol cap, it might also point to more serious issues such as: Faulty oxygen sensor Failing catalytic converter Worn spark plugs Malfunctioning mass airflow sensor What to do: If this light stays on or flashes, it’s time to get your vehicle looked at by a qualified mechanic ASAP.

Perth’s warm climate and fluctuating temperatures can have a significant impact on car batteries. Whether you’re dealing with scorching summers or cooler winter mornings, taking proactive steps to maintain your battery can prevent breakdowns and costly car battery replacement. At AME Automotive, we’ve been servicing Perth cars for over 30 years, so we know what it takes to keep your battery in peak condition. Here’s everything you need to know about car battery maintenance in Perth.   Why Perth’s Climate Affects Car Battery Life  Perth’s hot summers and occasional cold snaps can put extra stress on your car’s battery. High temperatures accelerate chemical reactions inside the battery, causing it to wear out faster, while cooler weather can make it harder for your battery to deliver power. If you’ve ever noticed your car struggling to start on a chilly morning, your battery could be at risk.   Essential Car Battery Maintenance Tips  Regular maintenance is key to extending car battery life. Here are some practical steps to keep your battery performing well in Perth’s conditions:  1. Keep Your Battery Clean  Dirt, grease, and corrosion can build up on your battery terminals, leading to poor connections and reduced performance.

Why Choosing the Right Tyres for Perth Roads Matters  Perth's unique driving conditions, from hot summers to heavy rains, mean that selecting the best tyres for Perth roads is crucial. Whether you're navigating busy city streets or heading out on a long country drive, having the right tyres enhances safety, fuel efficiency, and overall vehicle performance.   If you're unsure how to choose car tyres that suit your driving needs, this guide breaks down essential tyre selection tips and Perth tyre recommendations to help you make an informed decision.   Tyre Selection Tips: What to Consider  When choosing the best tyres for Perth roads, keep the following factors in mind:  1. Understand Your Driving Needs  Not all tyres are made equal. The type of driving you do will determine what kind of tyres you need. Consider:  City driving: If you mostly drive around Perth’s urban areas, opt for tyres designed for stop-start traffic and fuel efficiency.   Long-distance travel: If you frequently take long road trips, look for tyres with durability and comfort in mind.   Off-road or 4WD adventures: For those venturing onto gravel roads or beach tracks, all-terrain tyres are a must.   2. Consider Perth's Climate  Perth experiences hot summers, occasional heavy rain, and dry conditions, all of which affect tyre performance. Heat can wear tyres down faster, while wet roads require strong grip and water dispersion features. Choosing a tyre designed for Australian conditions ensures better safety and longevity.   3. Tyre Size Matters  The wrong...

Addressing these signs early can prevent performance problems and avoid costly repairs. Explore how injector cleaning can enhance your vehicle's performance and longevity with our team of experts from AME Automotive. 1. Engine Misfires When your engine misfires, it can result in a variety of issues that impact your driving experience. The loud sound from the engine signifies the struggle it faces in igniting the fuel properly. This can lead to a jerking sensation while driving, as the engine's irregular firing pattern affects the smooth operation of the vehicle. If you continue to drive with this issue you can potentially damage other components of the engine and exhaust system, leading to costly repairs down the line. 2. Rough Idling When your vehicle is at a standstill, but the engine seems to sputter, shake, or have inconsistent revolutions per minute (RPMs), it's a clear sign that something could be wrong with your fuel injectors.

Understanding the differences between wheel alignment and wheel balancing is crucial for maintaining the performance and safety of your vehicle. With so many auto servicing shops in Perth, get the right advice from AME Automotive in Canning Vale. Wheel alignments ensure that your tyres are fitted to the manufacturer's standards, resulting in even wear, improved handling, and fewer steering troubles. Driver feedback will be if you feel your steering wheel ‘pull’ to one side or the other, chances are you need an alignment. Wheel balancing, on the other hand, ensures that weight is distributed evenly among the tyres and wheels, resulting in smoother driving and better fuel efficiency. Driver feedback will be the steering wheel ‘wobbling’ at certain speeds. In this blog, we’ll look at ideas that go beyond the straightforward comparison of alignment and balance. Main Points Wheel alignment ensures proper tyre angles for safety and performance. Wheel balance distributes weight evenly for a smooth driving experience. Alignment prevents steering issues, while balance prevents premature tyre wear. Signs of misalignment include irregular tyre wear, while imbalance leads to vibrations.

A vehicle’s suspension system is essential for maintaining driving stability, comfort, and safety. When suspension components begin to fail, they can cause poor handling, uneven tyre wear, and longer braking distances. Many drivers ignore early warning signs such as clunking noises, excessive bouncing, or a sagging ride height, unaware that these may signal serious suspension issues. This guide from AME Automotive explains common suspension problems, the symptoms of worn springs and struts, and effective solutions to help keep your vehicle safe on Australian roads. Vehicle Suspension System and Its Key Components A vehicle's suspension system is designed to absorb road shocks, support the vehicle's weight, and maintain consistent tyre contact with the road surface. It works alongside the steering and braking systems to deliver control, comfort, and stability, particularly on uneven terrain or during sudden manoeuvres. The suspension plays a direct role in how a vehicle handles, corners, and stops, making it a vital aspect of overall safety and performance. Key components of the suspension system include different types of springs such as coil springs, leaf springs, and air springs, each designed to support the vehicle and absorb vertical impact. Shock absorbers and struts control movement and reduce vibrations, with struts also providing structural support. Control arms link the suspension to the vehicle frame and guide wheel motion. Ball joints allow pivoting between the steering knuckle and control arms, while bushings cushion joints and reduce friction between metal parts. Stabiliser bars (sway bars) and links limit body roll when cornering,...

At AME Automotive, we specialise in providing your vehicle with the best car servicing experience in Perth, and one of our areas of genius is performing GVM upgrades.

If you regularly tow a caravan, carry tools for work, or load up your 4WD for off-road trips, you may already be pushing your vehicle beyond its limits. Many Perth drivers don’t realise their vehicle can become unsafe — and illegal — when overloaded. The solution is to upgrade your GVM with a certified, legal system designed for Western Australian conditions. What Does It Mean to Upgrade Your GVM? GVM stands for Gross Vehicle Mass — the maximum total weight your vehicle can legally carry, including passengers, accessories, fuel, and cargo. When you upgrade your GVM, approved suspension components are installed and certified to increase your vehicle’s legal carrying capacity. This allows you to safely handle: Bull bars, winches and roof racks Toolboxes and trade equipment Caravans and heavy towing loads Camping and touring gear A legal GVM upgrade in Western Australia must meet strict engineering and compliance standards. Why Perth Drivers Need a GVM Upgrade Perth and WA driving conditions place extra demands on vehicles. From long highway towing to rugged off-road tracks, standard factory GVM limits are often not enough. Common reasons Perth vehicle owners upgrade their GVM include: Towing caravans or trailers across WA Carrying heavy tools for trade or mining work Touring and off-road driving with a fully loaded 4WD Avoiding fines and defects for exceeding legal weight limits If you drive a dual cab, ute or 4WD in WA, a GVM upgrade is not just an upgrade — it’s peace of mind.

Like a good MythBusters episode I wanted to prove or bust this theory, (most of all I just didn’t want to potentially chew through a set of new tyres)! Now to be honest the steering felt good to me and wasn’t pulling in any direction. Nevertheless I took my Model Y to my mechanic AME Automotive in Canning Vale. I asked to go out back and take some photos as I wanted to post the findings for other members in the Tesla group. I got ready my Tesla hockey pucks lifting jack pads that I brought off eBay, although they weren’t needed because for wheel alignments, they put the Tesla on a four post hydraulic lift AME Automotive had a Corghi expert wheel alignment machine and popped the clamps onto the rims to gauge alignment all four of the wheels. Going through the Corghi wheel alignment software and good news, it had been updated with all the model Y (in fact all Tesla’s) wheel alignment profiles. (This may infact be why some wheel alignment companies don’t want to do Tesla wheel alignments). The machine checked front and back wheel alignment, and these were my results. REAR AXLE Busted, the Tesla was all within tolerances. FRONT AXLE Proven!  The Tesla Facebook groups were correct, my alignment was...

Car air conditioning systems are vital for staying comfortable on the road, especially during Australia’s hotter months. If your aircon stops working properly, driving can quickly become unpleasant. Whether it’s blowing warm air, making strange noises, or not turning on at all, identifying the issue early can help prevent further damage and costly repairs. This guide covers the most common car air conditioning problems, how to troubleshoot them, and practical steps you can take before seeing a technician. How Car Air Conditioning Works: The Basics. Understanding how your car’s air conditioning system works can help you spot early signs of trouble and explain issues more clearly to a mechanic. The system runs on a closed loop of refrigerant and mechanical components that work together to remove heat and moisture from the cabin, delivering cool, dry air through the vents. Core Components Key parts of a car’s AC system include the compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, and refrigerant. The compressor, powered by the engine, pressurises the refrigerant. The condenser releases heat absorbed from the cabin into the outside air. The evaporator, located inside the dashboard, cools the air as it passes through. The expansion valve controls the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator. Refrigerant is the chemical that circulates through the system, absorbing and releasing heat as it changes state. The Cooling Cycle The process starts when the compressor pressurises the refrigerant into a hot, high-pressure gas. This gas flows to the condenser, where it releases heat and condenses into a...

Looking forward to getting a fantastic number of kilometres per litre when you fill up your vehicle at the petrol station is something we all strive for. So what else can you do to get the most out of your current vehicle's fuel tank? Well, the mechanics at AME Automotive in Canning Vale have compiled a list of suggestions to help you increase your fuel efficiency and put money back in your pocket. 5 Effective Ways to Increase Your Car's Fuel Efficiency 1. Take It Easy on the Pedal – We know it’s obvious but low fuel efficiency = high RPMs. That means that driving like you're racing the car next to you won't save you fuel costs. If you want to increase your fuel economy, you must slow down. Rapid acceleration and braking will cause your engine to work harder and use more fuel. Here is a weird fact: although each car is different, fuel economy tends to degrade as speed exceeds 85 km per hour due to increased wind friction. 2. Use the Recommended Motor Oil – Since your car's engine is built to work better with a particular form of motor oil, you can never presume that any engine oil will work with it. Using heavier oil may cause excessive friction, causing the engine to work harder and consume more fuel. Always check your owner's manual for the recommended type of motor oil for your vehicle and only use that type. This is especially true for European...
