Off vehicle injector clean

Thanks to Autorite’s experienced auto technicians, we’re able to provide off-vehicle reconditioning which is the most thorough and cost effective method for our customers. Ultrasonic baths make sure even the most clogged injectors are often able to be restored for less than the cost of purchasing a new injector. We’re also able to perform flow tests against the factory specifications of your injector using spray patterns – if your injector is within these specifications it’s an indication it will perform properly when put back into your vehicle!

Automatic Transmission Service

If you have an automatic car, servicing and flushing the transmission at least once every two years is important to maintain a smooth-running vehicle.

Wheel Balancing

Is your steering wheel vibrating? Tyres unusually noisy? Your wheels may be out of balance, which happens when one section of the tyre is heavier than the others. A wheel balance from Autorite increases performance and safety as well as extending the life of your tyres, preventing accelerated wear of shock absorbers, suspension and other components.

What’s involved:

  • remove road wheels
  • fitting to wheel balancer
  • carry out wheel balance with new weights if needed
  • refitted to vehicle

Wheel Bearing Service

The wheel bearings in your vehicle have the important job of sharing its weight but must also maintain perfect radial alignment with the axle. Otherwise, a domino effect occurs with the rotor pushing the caliper pistons into their bores which then drags against the pads.

Let Autorite service your wheel bearings, including:

  • removing road wheels
  • removing wheel bearing hubs
  • cleaning and inspecting all components
  • refilling with new grease reassembling and adjusting
  • new seals if needed (seal extra cost)
