Logbook Servicing
Whenever you purchase a new vehicle, the manufacturer provides you with a warranty that covers the cost of any parts failures. This warranty is only valid, however, if you have the car manufactured periodically, by a certified mechanic, who records and stamps these services in your vehicle’s logbook.
Here at Drouin Automotive Services, our skilled mechanics are fully certified to provide logbook servicing for all:
- Petrol vehicles
- Diesel vehicles
- LPG vehicles
- Electric/hybrid vehicles
Vehicle Inspections
If you’re thinking about buying a secondhand car, we would recommend bringing it in for a pre-purchase inspection. That way you know exactly what you’re buying, and can avoid any nasty surprises.
When you’re planning a long road trip, or camping trip, we would suggest getting a pre-trip inspection. This is a thorough inspection of your vehicle to ensure that any issues with the car are found and can be fixed before you head off on your adventure!
Here at Drouin Automotive Services, we can provide pre-purchase and pre-trip inspections, for your peace of mind, contact us today!

Brake Services
Your brakes are the most important safety feature your vehicle has. While other safety systems, like airbags, can reduce the severity of an accident, your brakes can act preventatively, and the condition of your brakes is often the deciding factor between an accident and an emergency stop.
Drouin Automotive Services’ expert technicians can help you with:
- Brake component replacement
- Brake component machining
- Brake hose repairs
- Brake restorations
Steering and Suspension
Faults in your steering and suspension affect handling and ride comfort, causing issues such as play in the steering wheel, body lean through corners, and vibrations at speed. Your suspension is also responsible for maximising the grip your tyres exert on the road, so a poor suspension will also increase your stopping distance.
Here at Drouin Automotive Services, our skiled mechanics can help you with:
- Shock absorbers and springs
- Bushing replacement
- Power steering repairs and replacement
- Lift kits and 4WD upgrades
Air Conditioning Services
There’s not much worse than being stuck in traffic on a hot day with faulty air conditioning. Your aircon actually degrades more from disuse than from use, as the rubber tubing and seals dry up and crack, allowing the refrigerant gas to leak out and rob your aircon of its cooling power.
Drouin Automotive Services’ expert technicians can fully repair your air conditioning, replacing broken compressors and condensers, swapping out any cracked tubing and seals, and finally recharging your system with refrigerant once we’re certain it’s airtight.

Due to their sophisticated nature, any problems should be treated sooner rather than later, to save you money on repair costs.
If you’re having trouble getting into gear, noticing reduced power output, a grinding noise, or a burning smell after driving, you might have issues with your transmission.

Cooling System Services
