The servicing and maintenance of the modern European vehicle is a complex technical procedure that requires much attention to detail to maintain the safety and longevity of your vehicle’s performance and value. Advanced electronics and computers control your cars operation, i.e: engine, transmission, ABS braking, stability control and dashboard management systems all communicate with each other via digital information.

Pace Motors has refined their service procedures to maximise your satisfaction and convenience with this necessary procedure and provide our clients with a clear picture of the costs involved. Even if your vehicle is still under warranty from the manufacturer, Pace Motors is accredited to take care of all your servicing requirements.

At Pace Motors, each vehicle is inspected and serviced according to its particular requirements and general condition. This can vary greatly depending on the conditions it has been subject to and your driving style. Any items requiring immediate attention will be priced and the maintenance authorised by the client prior to commencement of the work.

The high quality lubricant products and parts we use and recommend are OEM backed (manufacturer approved) or are genuine replacement parts supplied at our recommendation.

With a vehicle that is new to the Pace Motors servicing schedules, we recommend our Baseline Service that consists of a comprehensive bumper to bumper inspection which delivers a concise overview of the vehicles condition. A prioritised list of any items that require attention and engine oil and filter change for $295.00. Should the vehicle require, or the client request fully synthetic oil (Mobil 1 or Penrite equivalent) the cost will raise to around $385.00 depending on the quantity of oil required.

Almost all European vehicles will have a documented service history that dictate the requirements at the designated service intervals and will notify the driver of a service due by illuminating a service light on the instrument cluster. An equation of distance travelled, running time and number of engine starts is calculated to provide this. Under no circumstances should this warning light be ignored.

With advancements in automotive technologies, service intervals have been extended up around 25,000 km. This can equate to 2, 3, or 4 years service without an inspection being performed.

Pace Motors recommends an interim service to replace engine oil and filter and an examination of all the fluid levels, check brakes and lighting and reset tyre pressures to maintain engine life and vehicle safety standards. This is done at the client’s request and discretion.

It must be stated that Pace Motors is not into the over servicing of any vehicle or its components. We are dedicated to delivering a high level of service and vehicle maintenance to our clientele in a transparent and friendly manner.

BRAKES

The maintenance requirements of your braking system may not coincide with the vehicle service intervals, however, almost all European vehicles are equipped with sensors that will illuminate a warning light on the instrument cluster when they are close to the end of their service life.

Usually around 1,000 km can be travelled after this light is illuminated before the vehicle will become unsafe to drive. We strongly recommend acting upon any warning light at the earliest possible time to avoid safety risks and excessive damage to your vehicle.

A report on your brake components condition and an estimate of the remaining service life is supplied with every vehicle serviced.

Pace Motors can provide a standard brake service using OEM (manufacturer approved) components, or an upgrade to a high grade imported rotor and pad package, delivering above average braking efficiency and usually expanding component life. Prices are available upon request for all brake servicing procedures and requirements.

TIMING BELTS

An engine’s timing belt maintains the synchronicity of the reciprocating parts and requires replacement within the manufactures designated intervals. Failure to comply with these intervals can result in catastrophic engine damage.

Pace Motors insists on adhering to these intervals and will only use genuine replacement components for this procedure, being the toothed belt, the tensioner roller and the idler roller, regardless of their condition at that time. For example, Audi requires that these components are replaced every 4 years or 90,000 kilometres, which ever comes first with no exceptions.

The cost to perform this procedure varies from make to make and model to model and is available upon request with all the vehicle details including the chassis number.

 
LOAN VEHICLE

We have a loan car available to select clients with an advanced booking for $30.00 per day all expenses covered. Of course an agreement is signed to protect Pace Motors from traffic infringements and insurance excesses should the vehicle be damaged or involved in a collision whilst in possession of the client.
