Automatic Transmission Repairs and Servicing
Having trouble changing gears? Motor Works’ qualified technicians can diagnose, repair and rebuild your automatic transmission or gearbox.

Cam Belt Replacements
Your car’s cam belt (or timing belt) is an essential part of the engine that works to keep the engine in time, protecting valves from hitting the pistons. Typically, a cambelt will need to be replaced every 100,000km or every five years – whichever comes first.

Exhaust Repairs and Replacements
Are there loud noises or strong fumes coming from your exhaust? At Motor Works we can check over your petrol or diesel vehicle and see if it requires any exhaust repairs or replacement. Don’t get caught out with a smokey car, it’s unsafe and could land you with a hefty fine.

Full Tyre Service and Tyre Replacements
If your tyres are damaged or have less than the legal minimum of 1.5mm of tread, it’s time for a tyre replacement.
Motor Works can replace your old worn tyres. We also provides a full tyre service and repairs including wheel alignment, puncture repair, tyre inflation, and much more.

CV and Steering Rack Boot Replacement
That annoying clicking sound when your car turns could lead to a major disaster if left unattended.
CV & Steering rack boots are protective rubber covers that prevent dirt and water from getting into vital engine parts & lock in lubricant to keep them running smoothly. If your CV & Steering rack boots are worn or torn you should get them replaced quickly to avoid costly repairs from damaging the components underneath.

Fuel System Cleaning
At Motor Works we have the latest fuel system cleaner for petrol & diesel vehicles.
