25.01.2022 It's been a while since 4he shop was empty for the weekend but with no sleepovers from last week, a new game starts today :)

25.01.2022 We have made changes to how we interact with customers and cleaning before and after work being carried out on your vehicle. We want to be able to stay operating and providing services to our customers as long as possible throughout this situation. If you are not feeling well, are required to be in isolation or have been in contact with someone in isolation please please do the right thing and stay at home.... If you do need repairs or maintenance carried out, but are in isolation, please call us to discuss options available.

24.01.2022 2 days of training on a rainy weekend followed by a quick check of the workshop to make sure it's dry inside (and it sure is at this point but the tide is rising...). A little traffic control and educational remarks to local drivers and a visit from police who allowed us to close the road. Please don't drive through flood waters. If you HAVE to get through remember to take it slow and easy - driving at speed and showing off how big you can splash creates more flooding for residents and businesses.

23.01.2022 Hey team. Just wanted to ask my network who is out of work as a result of this virus and business closures. Friends, family and customers or those that you are close with. The situation changes daily at the moment and some businesses will be closed longer than others. During the times I am open and trading as close to normal as possible I would like to help. I may have some casual work I can share - nothing exciting, just general cleaning, etc. but maybe enough to help out so...me food on the table or pay some bills. Please contact me and hopefully we can work something out.

22.01.2022 Back to school for the first seminar of the expo!

22.01.2022 Hey everyone - last video on thoughts on Covid-19 related stuff for a while. This is very important to me. I don't ask for much of anyone, ever. Please, please watch this, think about this and share this. Support local businesses - spend the money you're already spending but spend it in a supportive way... If you are in a position to continue working and are in a position to help someone that can't work, try to do so in a way that also supports local business Reach out to your networks - find out who's doing it tough, personally and in business - help where you can even if it's just a shoulder to lean on (or 1.5m away from) Ask for support from your networks if you're struggling PLEASE remember this also as we start returning to "normal". This will affect small businesses for some time to come.

21.01.2022 Would you be interested in an affordable roadside assistance option with your vehicle servicing? What would you be prepared to spend for this in addition to your service? The way it would work is at each service, a fee would be payable to renew your roadside assistance for 6 or 12 months depending on your vehicles service interval. The only catch is they limit it to 2 call outs per period (6 or 12 months) but the cover would be under $50 per year. This is something we would consider offering through a 3rd party. The comparable cover through NRMA would cost $110 per year plus a joining fee of $55.

19.01.2022 Back after a well earned break and it looks like zoom-zooming back into it :)

18.01.2022 If you're hitting the road over Christmas and need a service or check over please get in touch ASAP on 02 9970 6373. We do still have a few spots left over the next 2 weeks but will be closing on the 20th December 2019 and reopening on the 13th January 2020. Thanks again for your support this year, we look forward to working with you all into the new year and some exciting changes on the way.... Merry Christmas and safe travels to you all

17.01.2022 The silly season is upon us... We are currently working through a backlog of jobs and have only a couple of spaces left before Christmas. If you would like to get in before the holidays, please send us an text message or submit a booking request here: https://www.letstorqueautomotive.bapnet.com.au/contact

16.01.2022 Worried about taking your car to the mechanic in these strange times? We have the procedures in place to keep you safe, your vehicle clean and get you back on the road. We are still following social distancing guidelines as well as carrying out comprehensive cleaning procedures within our workshop and in your vehicle at no additional cost.... Happy motoring :)

16.01.2022 Weekends here - time to relax... Not for me, time to get some learning done!! 2 days on speciality diagnostic approaches

15.01.2022 Toyota diesel 'Idle Up' switch

14.01.2022 Why do we come in more expensive sometimes? We do the job right, the first time.

13.01.2022 Check out the newest.. Ah. Latest addition to the LTA fleet!!! Now when the loan ute is out we've still got a rig for running parts around in. Stay tuned for some progress on this project.

13.01.2022 Feeling positive and fortune to be able to work - if anyone has any spare hand sanitizer, I would love a bottle to put on the front counter here for customers

12.01.2022 We work on all makes and models, new and old. We can maintain and repair your vehicle while it's still covered by your new car warranty and when it's long expired. Today just feels like a Hilux kinda day...

10.01.2022 Well - I'm off to yet another international wedding. While I'm off, Darren will be working most days between 10am and 3pm. If you need anything just give him a buzz at the workshop on (02) 9970 6373 and please leave a message if there's no answer. I look forward to catching up when I get back on the 10th of July :-)

10.01.2022 We've got a new team mascot...

10.01.2022 Did you know we can customise a solution to meet your requirements?? This client came to us wanting a second reverse camera fitted to his vehicle AND an override switch to activate it. He was happy with his current camera as a parking aid but with limited visibility out the back he wanted something to help keep an eye on traffic and stay safe while driving. With only ONE video input on the old multimedia unit and the old camera already using it we had to come up with a soluti...on. Another hurdle to cross was some off-book wiring techniques carried out by the first installer. So we supplied and mounted a second camera, ran the wiring up to the multimedia unit and got to work. We installed an override switch and a video signal splitter (basically a double adaptor). Then we installed a one-way diode so when the override switch is used to bring on the camera the reverse lights are not. Best yet, we installed a second switch to swap between video feeds running through the splitter into the one input. In short, there are now 2 cameras. Activated by selecting reverse OR the camera switch and switchable using the toggle switch. Check the video in the comments to see how it works :) Maybe there's something we can do for you that others haven't been able to!!

10.01.2022 Is your car running a bit rough or a bit more sluggish than it used to be? We have the tech and the quality chemicals to get it running like new again Call us for more info 02 9970 6373

10.01.2022 Looks like we're gearing up for the great wagon race of 2020 down here today...

10.01.2022 Getting Sporty at Let's Torque Automotive is no problem, no matter the vintage. Here we have a 1984 Honda Prelude with stopping issues and a 2009 AMG with drive problems. The Honda suffered a leaking brake master cylinder which has ruined the vacuum brake booster. Pulled out the master and booster, sent the booster away for repair and refitted along with a new master cylinder. Bled the brakes and she's stopping on a dime.... The AMG has suffered a little wear and tear and maybe a little hard love. The splines on one of the cv joints have stripped so the shaft is spinning in the joint - See the video in the comments if you're interested. Replaced the shaft and she goes like a racehorse once again!!

09.01.2022 Stock clearance on BOSCH replacement wiper blades - $20-$30 each while stocks last. (Usually $40-$50). Call us on 02 9970 6373 or pop in for a pair

08.01.2022 Hey team! This is our last week before the Christmas break and have been fully booked with the usual Christmas rush. We now have 2 slots that have opened up, one tomorrow and the other on Tuesday. If you need anything before Christmas and these time slots are suitable please reply here or phone Pete on 0415 867 783.

08.01.2022 Does your pride and joy deserve only the best? Does your wallet deserve the best price? This Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG had some repairs quoted by the dealer. Luckily, we then had the opportunity to quote on the same repairs and came in at least $500 under their price. Still using only genuine parts. Still completing the same job.... We'll never sacrifice the quality of our workmanship or parts for a cheaper price but if you're looking for quality combined with value for money, you'll certainly find that with us. We have a wide network of high quality suppliers. We're often able to get genuine European parts through the importers instead of the dealers - saving you money. We have access to vast automotive libraries giving us quick access to accurate information needed to carry out unfamiliar and technical jobs. This means problems can be solved accurately, to manufacturers specs and quickly - saving you money. Think you have to take your pride and joy to the dealer? Maybe give us a buzz first...

08.01.2022 And that's a wrap... Last job out the door and I'm left with a clear workshop before heading to Melbourne tomorrow for the Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo. I'll be meeting with suppliers and attending seminars to be able to grow my business and provide greater service to you and your vehicles.... A massive shout out to a few customers that allowed me to shuffle their bookings at the last minute so I could head down to attend this expo. Thankyou! I'll be back at it Monday morning :-)

07.01.2022 All makes. All models. New or old... We had a bit of a Merc day this week and the little A45 AMG pocket rocket was in for new brakes. Becoming more and more common across all makes, rear brakes require diagnostic eqiupment to put the Electronic Park Brake into service mode before carrying out work and then resetting upon completion.... We can take care of your vehicle, using the best parts and top techn to get the job done right.

06.01.2022 I thought Tamworth was LandCruiser Country... Looks like North Narrabeen is slowly claiming the title

05.01.2022 The little things make the biggest difference... The first photo looks like a noise to me. Yep, you heard me right. These are the brake pads out of my own car. When I bought it, there was an annoying rattle coming from the front wheels. A previous repairer has done a poor job of renewing the brakes in this case, leaving metal on metal contact which has caused a noise and vibration.... When we see rusty friction marks like this, even without driving a vehicle we can see that it would create frustrating noises. As part of our standard brake service, we apply anti-seize paste where there is metal on metal contact - Providing smooth, quiet operation. We like to do the job once, because we do it right the first time.

05.01.2022 Something very satisfying about restoring headlight lenses :-)

03.01.2022 Looking forward to hooking into a big one next week on a tidy Troopy. New clutch, wheel bearings, greasable shackles and some other maintenance in preparation for an upcoming trip into the wild. Go with confidence :)

01.01.2022 Did you know we can supply and install a range of accessories to suit a wide range of needs??? This client wanted to replace his faulty Bluetooth hands-free kit as well as fit a reverse camera and screen. I suggested that instead of using one of our monitors that mount on the dash or over the rear-view mirror we take advantage of this multimedia unit which replaces the original stereo.... With a HD touch screen and built in Bluetooth, this unit bundled all his requirements in nicely. These units also have 2 USB inputs and incorporate Apple CarPlay and Android Auto which means you can take advantage of many helpful apps like Google Maps for navigation. Keep an eye out for our next post with a tricky little reverse camera setup!!

01.01.2022 Working from home today and drying the house out. I had put together some promotional material after our visit to the shop yesterday (pictured) thinking we'd make the move to marine maintenance but apparently the water has subsided. Open as usual from tomorrow ;-)

01.01.2022 Can you spot what's new at Let's Torque Automotive?
