25.01.2022 We get to work on some pretty sweet cars at Peter Atkin Mechanical! Worked on this one yesterday!

19.01.2022 If you car has forced induction such as a turbocharger or supercharger, there’s a fair chance at some point you will experience a boost leak. A boost leak is where the air compressed by either the supercharger or turbo escapes before it can enter the engine. This can lead to poor performance, poor fuel economy, increased emissions and often emits unwanted noise.... Sometimes boost leaks are easy to find (intercooler damage pictured), most of the time they’re not. We have up to date testing equipment to help locate and identify boost leaks on both petrol & Diesel engines. Call us today if you think you’re experiencing boost related issues.

18.01.2022 Wow I think this would be so much fun

18.01.2022 Is you car safe for you and your family this Christmas? With only three weeks until Christmas when was the last time you had your car checked?

17.01.2022 Carbon buildup is becoming an issue with emission controlled engines, both petrol and diesel. Excessive carbon buildup can lead to poor engine performance, higher fuel usage and in some cases can cause the engine to run rough, or late model petrol direct injection engines, not at all! At Peter Atkin Mechanical we have the correct late model equipment to address these issues. At the time of writing Peter Atkin Mechanical is the only workshop on the coast equipped with the amazing Wynn’s MultiServe machine, which is very efficient in preventing carbon buildup through regular intake manifold Maintenance cleans. In extreme case where carbon buildup is clogging the inlet, the manifolds may require removal for manual cleaning, we can help with this too.

17.01.2022 Full house at the workshop last night All of our customers cars get locked away if they need to have a sleep over

17.01.2022 If you drive a late mode Kia or Hyundai, there’s a high chance you car will be fitted with EPS or Electronic Power Steering A common complaint with owners is knocking and loose feeing steering due to a fault in the motor coupling. We can repair these in house and get you safely back on the road after carrying out the required calibrations after repair.... If you’re experiencing steering issues with you Kia or Hyundai power steering get in touch with us and we can diagnose & provide a cost estimate for repair.

14.01.2022 Oil leaks! no one likes them. There are many gaskets and seals where oil can leak from your car, some parts don’t have either and rely on sealants keep the oil in, which breaks down over time & due to heat cycling. Oil leaks can be sometimes tricky to diagnose. Talk to us today if your sick of stains on your garage floor or driveway.

12.01.2022 Welcome to all our new likers :) Can't wait to draw the free service at the end of the month :)

12.01.2022 Chances are if you have a late model diesel vehicle it will be fitted with an emissions device called a diesel particulate filter or DPF. There are many factors which can cause a DPF to have issues, the most common is excessive soot loading which restricts the exhaust system and often places the vehicle in reduced power mode There are many external factors which can lead to this excess soot loading and it is important to rectify these issues prior to cleaning the filter.... At Peter Atkin Mechanical we can diagnose & correct faults causing DPF issues and then perform in depth & thorough cleaning of the DPF with our state of the art equipment and 3 stage system. we are the only ones on the coast with this service available at present. Contact us today if you are experienced issues with your vehicle fitted with a particulate filter and find out how we can help you. Video below is showing soot which has accumulated in the DPF exiting the exhaust at the start of stage 2 after heavy cleaning.

12.01.2022 We did a headlight restoration today on this RAV4. I think the photos speak for themselves. What a difference. Did you know the colour/yellowing of your headlights affects the amount of light able to come out? It’s not just for looks. We can do this for just $99.00!

12.01.2022 Looking at buying a used car? This particular car has had a safety certificate inspection done not too long ago, whilst it may have passed then, it’s obvious that either it met minimum requirements, or there are underlying issues. A Pre-Purchase inspection can identify area requiring attention immediately or in the future helping you make an educated decision wether to purchase or not, or to use as bargaining power. If you’re looking at buying a used car, make sure you get it checked out before parting with your hard earned.

08.01.2022 Peter Atkin Mechanical now has a Wheel Aligner

08.01.2022 Cabin/Pollen filters! A often overlooked service item. We are often asked how necessary it is to replace it. I’ll let you decide looking at these photos of some of the worst ones we’ve seen. All air, wether it be from outside/fresh mode, or inside/recirculate mode, passes through the cabin/pollen filter before passing through your vents. Imagine what nasties lie within these filters!

07.01.2022 Father's Day Special. Book dads car in by the 6th of September (Father's Day) and get $40.00 off!!! (Minimum spend $180.00)

06.01.2022 Our yummy lollies all ready to go in each and every customers car as thanks Thankyou for coming to us for all your mechanical needs!

06.01.2022 Late model vehicles employ a multitude of sensors which send information to the engine control module. Not only are theses sensors used to make the vehicle run, but also to get the best performance an efficiency from your vehicle. There are a number of sensors that can be checked through routine service and can be cleaned to remove dirt an carbon to improve the power & economy using the correct cleaning agents safe for the sensor.

05.01.2022 Timing belts are a very important maintenance item on many vehicles Replacement intervals vary from as little as every 60,000km all the way to 150,000km depending on make & model, but did you know timing belts can also perish with time even if you haven’t covered the Kilometers? Generally if the mileage is low timing belts should still be replaced every 5 to 7 years.... If you’re not sure when the last time your timing belt was done, or when it’s due, get in touch with us and we can guide you through the requirements for your vehicle and provide an estimate on replacement costs.

05.01.2022 Brakes! One of the most important maintenance aspects of you car, van or 4x4. At Peter Atkin Mechanical we can machine brake discs & drums in house if they’re in serviceable condition, or replace the discs if they’re below minimum nominal thickness. We can offer and range or brake pads, shoes & other brake service parts from leading brands including Genuine parts to suit your requirements & budget.

03.01.2022 More than just an oil change! This Toyota Yaris came in for its routine minor service, there’s not a great deal of mileage on this car yet through our safety check, we found one of the rear wheel bearings well & truely due for replacement. We were able to provide an estimate, source parts & carry out the repair same day to ensure the safety of the occupants & other road users.

01.01.2022 We work on caravans too!
