Tom Leyden Tyre & Mechanical are the right choice for your new car Log Book service in Gracemere. 

You always have the choice of where your vehicle is serviced, maintained and repaired, at competitive prices, without voiding either the manufacturers warranty or your rights under the Consumer Guarantee.

You do not have to take the car back to the dealership who sold it to you for service or repairs. Provided the work is overseen to the manufacturers specifications by a suitably skilled person and uses quality parts and fluids, the warranty stands. 

With Repco Authorised Service you can tick all the boxes. Every Tom Leyden Tyre & Mechanical mechanic is fully qualified and Auto-Tech trained, giving them access to Australia's leading provider of automotive technical information and training. This means Tom Leyden Tyre & Mechanical mechanics are kept fully up to date with the latest in automotive service techniques and are able to service your new car without voiding the warranty.

Repco branded parts & products are manufactured to stringent Repco quality standards, and are covered by the Repco Nationwide Warranty, giving you added protection. Tom Leyden Tyre & Mechanical will also only ever use fluids and lubricants that meet the specifications of the original car manufacturer.

If you already own a new car or are thinking of purchasing one, make sure you clearly understand where your statutory rights begin and end.

Make sure you are aware of the differences between manufacturer, statutory and extended warranties to avoid making the wrong selection when it comes to servicing your new car. You are automatically covered by a statutory warranty, also known as a Consumer Guarantee, under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and this statutory protection can never be superseded by manufacturer or express warranties (which are offered by the car maker and car dealer respectively).

A lack of disclosure requirements on car dealers at the point of sale regarding these contracts can easily lead the consumer into making a choice to be bound by a long term contract without access to all of the details needed to make a properly informed decision.

So when purchasing a new vehicle, be on guard for new car dealers who may try to include “express” or “extended” warranties, often for free. As a general rule these ‘extra' warranties may include quite comprehensive restrictions or provisions, and are not always what they are cracked up to be. Many times these promises provide no real additional benefits not already given by the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with the dealership that sold the car.

Such promises are very unlikely to focus on the potential negative aspects involved with taking a new car back to the dealer for service or repair. This includes how far you will need to go to get your car serviced or longer waiting times due to fewer available service locations or mechanics.

Tom Leyden Tyre & Mechanical offer FREE Driveway Battery Testing in our Gracemere workshop so you don't have to guess how it is functioning. 

Once tested, we can then recharge the battery for you or replace it with a new one.

We stock a range of the most popular Powersonic and ACDelco battery sizes to suit most passenger vehicles. But we can also supply batteries for 4WD's, SUV's, ATV bikes, Lawn Mowers, Boats, Tractor and even Industrial. Call us today and tell us about your battery requirements and if we don't have it in stock we can easily ordered in a wide range of brands and sizes.

1. Engine Starting Trouble: The first reason you may need to test, recharge, or replace your car battery is due to difficulties when starting the engine. A faulty or old battery can cause a slow cranking of the engine during startup or the vehicle might not start at all. This can cause unnecessary hassle, especially when you are in a hurry or stranded somewhere.

2. Flickering or Dim Lights: Car lights and electronics get their power from the car battery. If you notice that the lights are flickering or not as bright as usual, this could be a sign of a weak or failing battery. A simple battery check could prevent an electrical system failure which can cause serious damages.

3. Old Battery: If the battery in your vehicle is over three years old, it may be best to have it checked, as they can start to fail at any time after this. Regular check ups prevent sudden battery breakdown which can lead to more serious mechanical issues.

Tom Leyden Tyre & Mechanical in Gracemere understands these needs and caters not just to conventional cars, but they also supply batteries for 4x4s, SUVs, ATV bikes, Lawn Mowers, Boats, Tractors, and even for Industrial use.

Car overheating can be more than just a minor inconvenience. It can signify underlying issues that, if left unchecked, can lead to significant engine damage. A car's engine operates within a certain temperature range, and overheating suggests it's operating beyond its limits. This can cause engine components to warp, break, or fail altogether, potentially leading to costly repairs or even a complete engine replacement.
