19.01.2022 Dont let it come to this!! Book in for regular services and keep you vehicle running at its best!

18.01.2022 Seems like every man and his dog are going away for Christmas now the borders are opening up! We are nearly booked out for November, and December is filling up quickly - don't let your dog miss out!

18.01.2022 Is your mechanic cleaning your airflow sensor? If you are coming to us they are! A dirty airflow sensor can cause lack of power, increased fuel consumption and even an engine light. This is just one of the extra things we do in our services to give you the best out of your car

18.01.2022 So, what does a pollen filter, or cabin filter actually do? It stops this from happening! This is an air conditioning evaporator, it is like a mini radiator in your dash which has air con gas running though it. The air for your cabin is then cooled by passing through the cooled evaporator. If your pollen filter is missing, dirty, damaged, or you have a vehicle that does not have one, then dust can enter the aircon system and get caught on the condensation on the evaporator, which then causes rust and an eventual leak - as seen here! The green is the dye we use to identify air conditioning system leaks. It is a big job to replace the evaporator - but, we are not scared of a bit of hard work , and of course if your car has a pollen filter you know we are checking it each and every service!

18.01.2022 And just like that we are booked out until the 6th January! Cheers to our customers - your support is how we keep the doors open We will be taking a break from the 21st Dec - 6th Jan so give us a call to make a new years booking

Always helpful knowing what we need to do to keep exceeding expectations Also feel free to message us or call if there is something we can do better! Brock

16.01.2022 But I don’t do the Km’s and 12 months is too often We hear this everyday!!! Getting the oil changed regularly is the most crucial thing you can do for your vehicle. Unfortunately I have little sympathy when an engine sludges as it is completely unnecessary and easily avoidable. CHANGE OIL REGULARLY OR DESTROY YOUR ENGINE. It’s your call

16.01.2022 Hi everyone just an update on our bookings - we are currently booked out until the 26th! Thanks for the support Ernie is still recovering from knee surgery and Adele will be visiting family for a few days, so Brock will be solo and appointments are filling FAST! If you know you have a service coming up, plan ahead and book now to avoid disappointment!

15.01.2022 Had the big girl detailed today - the white paint had started to go chalky. What we got back this afternoon was like a new car! Steve at Black Magic Car Detailers Mackay has done an awesome job resealing the paint, and he even measured the depth of the paint Get down there and get your paint bought back to life!

15.01.2022 Our phone has been ringing off the hook! Thank you all for your continued support :) We are doing our best to fit you all in! We are currently booking from the 20th July - so call to book in asap!

14.01.2022 Got clutch shudder much? In over 25 years combined of working on Toyotas we have never seen one with a broken plate like this! But, thats ok - we will get it sorted and back on the road

13.01.2022 We arent the biggest workshop but we certainly do our best if you like what we do feel free to click the link and give a shout out!

13.01.2022 Here is a good comparison to yesterday’s post on poor service history.. this vehicle has far more mileage on the engine at just under 200,000km yet the internals are looking perfect. No signs of carbon and sludge. #OILISCHEAP change it often!

13.01.2022 Cabin filters are definitely a great item that vehicle manufacturers have adopted. Unfortunately early vehicles dont have them and this is the result. Lucky for this customer we were able to clean this up like new back to great flow of air through the vents and chilly Brock

13.01.2022 How did you call for help before mobile phones? Pass a note of course!

11.01.2022 Please be aware we are currently on a short break so the workshop is closed until 9th October. If you need to book in please leave a message at the shop or call from the 9th.

10.01.2022 Do you drive a triton that is part of this, or know someone that does. Tag and share and get it booked into the dealer. Its not worth risking it!!

06.01.2022 Here is a sneak peek of the heater box and dash going back into a kluger today. Had to replace a failed evaporator. I wish I could really do them this fast! truth is they are quite involved. Video doesnt show half the engine bay needing to still go back in and the regas etc

01.01.2022 Hello everyone, WE ARE STILL OPEN! In the interests of making sure everyone stays safe we have changed the office around a little and are trying to limit the number of people in the office at one time, in addition to constant wiping/cleaning of all surfaces and hands. ... Clark Motors was established in 1950 by Brocks grandfather Sparrow, and we have no intention of letting this close our doors - we appreciate your support and look forward to keeping the doors open to serve you! CODIV-19 is a polarizing issue, and while you might believe Mackay is safe - and we hope you are right! - if Brock and Adele get sick the business will need to shut down or individuals risk being fined. We want the world to go back to normal as fast as everyone else does, so lets follow the advice, and lets get this beat!

01.01.2022 Timing belts are a very crucial part in an engine. Not all engines have timings belts, a lot use chains. Belts can have various schedules for when they need to be replaced. Its arguably the most important part to have changed on time - apart from oil changes that is. In a lot of cases if the timing belt lets go it can damage a lot of internal components which will run up into the thousands! Having the timing belts replaced can be expensive depending on make model etc, but to... put it simply the cost of not changing is far greater by a long way. This brings me to another point. When we are asked for a quote on replacing a timing belt we will always quote on a timing kit. A kit contains not only the belt, but will have all idler bearings, seals and tensioner. All these components should be replaced to keep your vehicle running well and reliable. If you think about a typical timing belt that only is replaced every 150,000km. If you were to replace just that belt you are asking the idler bearings and tensioner to last 300,000km without giving any trouble.... I would say apart from neglect and timing belts stripping the teeth off the belt, most failures I see are from bearings or tensioner failure not the belt itself. I guess I thought putting this post up might help owners understand a couple of things when getting ready to have a timing belt replaced. When asking for a quote find out what is being quoted? Is it just a belt or are you getting all the important components replaced? A couple extra dollars doing a kit will save thousands in a engine rebuild. Picture of bearing below has done 150,000km and you can see the face of it starting to deteriorate. I know I wouldnt roll the dice for another 150,000km would you?! Brock
