Brake and Clutch Repairs in Warwick

Morgan Park Performance & Service Centre are local Warwick mechanics with extensive experience in brake and clutch repairs, servicing and replacement. All the work we do is done with precision to ensure the safety of our customers when behind the wheel. Having a car that stops in time during an emergency is important, and we provide a range of different aftermarket brake solutions to our customers to suit any budget. Our range of clutches include OEM and aftermarket replacements, as well as performance and 4×4 upgrades. Give us a call if your brakes or clutch aren’t operating correctly, and we’ll have one of our expert qualified mechanics solve it quickly.

Brake Servicing and Repairs:

Having good brakes, along with new tyres, is integral in keeping your car the safest it can be for you, your family and other road users, and we take great care when replacing our customers’ brake components to ensure their safety on the road.

Our brake servicing includes:

• Disc / Rotor checks
• Pad checks
• Fluid replacement / flush
• On road brake testing

Depending on the state of wear on your brake discs, we’ll inform you of whether they’ll need to be machined or replaced. Machining them simply involves skimming down warped brakes to a flat surface, but if your brake discs are too thin, we will need to opt for replacement. High-performance brake upgrades, including drum to disc conversions are also available.

Clutch Repairs:

We offer both genuine OEM and aftermarket clutch replacements, with specialised clutches for performance and 4wd applications also available. When replacing OEM clutches with a cheaper aftermarket solution for a standard vehicle, we look for ones of a similar specification so as to not change the driving dynamics of your car.

Aftermarket Performance Clutches:

Own a high performance or racing vehicle? Choosing a clutch is often a more customer-involved process for enthusiast drivers than it is for those seeking a replacement for their everyday vehicle, so we offer our customers a wide variety of aftermarket performance clutches to suit their preferences. At your request, we can also install a lightened flywheel while replacing your clutch for better throttle response.

Clutches we offer include:

• Organic Sports Clutches
• Ceramic Performance Clutches
• Single, Twin and Triple Plate Clutches

Organic clutches are more suitable for street use as they are more transitional, whereas ceramic clutches are much more precise allowing for better launches, but will wear much quicker if you ride the clutch. Ceramic discs also tend to absorb much more heat.

Having larger diameter clutch plates does result in a heavier clutch feel, and we recommend switching to a multi-plate clutch before moving to a larger diameter. Multi-plate clutches can also handle much more torque than a single disc of the same size.

Aftermarket 4×4 Clutches:

If you’ve got a modified 4×4 vehicle, depending on the amount of torque that’s been added, a replacement clutch will be necessary to prevent burning out the stock clutch. We stock aftermarket clutches to suit all major 4×4 manufacturers and if there’s a specific clutch brand you’d prefer, we’re more than happy to source and install it for you.

Suspension Repairs, Upgrades and Replacements in Warwick

Staffed entirely by qualified local mechanics, Morgan Park Performance & Service Centre provide suspension repairs and upgrades in the Warwick area. Our team of mechanics are experts in assessing suspension damage, allowing for accurate repair. We take extra care when performing suspension replacement and look to solve the causes, not just the symptoms, to ensure you aren’t facing the same problem weeks down the track. Please give us a call if you’ve got an uncomfortable or unsafe ride affecting the way you drive, and we’ll have one of our experts onto it as soon as possible.

Suspension Repairs:

Got a squeaky noise or uncomfortable ride giving you hassles? We’ll do an on-road test with you in the car whenever possible to quickly identify the problem you’re experiencing. After getting an idea of what the problem may be, we’ll precisely identify what components are causing it inside our workshop before replacing the necessary parts to restore your car back to a comfortable, non-irritating state.

We do comprehensive checks and replace all suspension parts including:

• Bushings
• Shock Absorbers
• Sway Bars
• Leaf Springs

Generally, we opt for aftermarket parts on vehicles not under warranty due to their lower cost and often upgraded design. We are more than happy to source genuine OEM parts for your vehicle at your request.

Suspension Upgrades:

If you’d like aftermarket 4×4 suspension, performance suspension, or simply some replacement parts installed for a comfier ride, give us a call. Our team of qualified mechanics can assess your needs and recommend an aftermarket suspension system suited to your driving and budget.

Yes, we do coil over upgrades! Having adjustable coil over suspension installed is a great way to cut seconds off your lap times, as adjustable spring height and damper settings can be catered to your vehicle and the track conditions at hand. In addition to coil over suspension, we can also install aftermarket sway bars and strut bracing for better handling and rigidity.

Roadworthy Inspections in Warwick

Morgan Park Performance & Service Centre perform thorough and comprehensive safety certificate (roadworthy inspections) for Warwick locals looking to sell a car. Our team of experts are all qualified mechanics, each with extensive experience in performing roadworthy inspections to set criteria.

Safety certificates are a legal requirement for vehicles to be sold in Queensland. Please give us a call to have one of our veteran mechanics perform a thorough check on a vehicle you intend to sell.

Roadworthy Inspections:

Obtaining a roadworthy certificate for your vehicle is a legal requirement in order to be able to sell it privately. Our roadworthy inspections follow a strict set of criteria mandated by the Queensland Government but include a full mechanical inspection and handwritten or electronic safety certificate if your vehicle passes. We’ll test that all safety components of your vehicle work correctly and that all mechanical components are in a safe state to use on the road.

Our roadworthy inspections include:

• Suspension and Brake Checks
• Checks for oil leaks
• Checks of seatbelts
• Checks of headlights, taillights and emergency lights
• Checks of chassis, accident history
• Tyre and wheel alignment check

Per government requirements, roadworthy certificates are charged at a flat fee.

Log Book Servicing in Warwick

Morgan Park Performance & Service Centre are Warwick’s favourite independent mechanic, staffed entirely by qualified mechanics with extensive experience in the field. Our log book servicing follows the same manufacturers required procedures that your dealer would perform, and we use genuine OEM parts for cars serviced during the warranty period to ensure that your vehicle will still be eligible for warranty repairs should something fail. Just give us a call and tell us your make, model and year, and you’ll be on your way to better servicing, without shock horror when you look at the bill.

The benefit of choosing an independent mechanic over a dealer for your vehicle servicing is that our prices are much more reasonable, all without effecting your new car warranty. Rather than simply operating off a brief checklist like many dealer mechanics, our entire vehicle service is comprehensive and includes:

• Before and After Service Road Test
• Full Mechanical Inspection
• Brake, Tyre and Suspension Check
• Replacement of Oil & Filter
• Replacement of wear items as necessary at major service intervals

When you drop your car off to us, we’ll offer you a lift back to your home or work in your car by the same mechanic who will be servicing it. This allows us to understand what you mean when you mention specific problems you’ve been experiencing with it, as well as allowing us to bring up any inherent problems we’ve noticed that you may have simply gotten used to or not noticed. If we perform a regular logbook service on your car, and the major service is at the next interval, we’ll inform you then and there to give you plenty of time to prepare for the next major service due.

Major Servicing:

The time at which your vehicle requires a major service will ultimately depend on your maintenance schedule, although major servicing usually occurs at every third interval. Typically, we’ll perform a thorough inspection of the brakes where pad replacement may be necessary, and replace spark plugs, check belts and any other items required by the service schedule, as well as perform all the other items associated with a typical service, such as an oil and filter change.

Warranty Claims:

Having your car serviced by Morgan Park Performance & Service Centre will not affect your new car or statutory warranty. When servicing cars still under warranty, we use genuine OEM parts to ensure your car is still repairable under your new car warranty, should anything go wrong. We’ll phone you immediately if we suspect mechanical damage occurring on your car is the fault of the manufacturer, so you can have it performed for free.

Fast and Reliable Warwick Mechanics

Morgan Park Performance & Service Centre are a team of Warwick mechanics who offer comprehensive general vehicle servicing. Our small team of qualified mechanics go to all lengths necessary to keep your car safe and reliable, including performing a complete check of all mechanical and safety components before servicing. To complement the precision workmanship done by our mechanics, we use high quality replacement parts that are built to last. Please give us a call with the year, make and model of your vehicle ready, to organise comprehensive general servicing on your vehicle.

General mechanical servicing is much like our log book servicing, except we instead turn our attention to more parts of the car that may not have received attention throughout the car’s life. This means performing a comprehensive inspection of all wear items before servicing. Our general mechanical servicing includes:

• Full mechanical inspection
• Tyre Inspection
• Before and after service test drive
• Engine oil and filter replacement
• Part replacements as necessary

Whilst we always recommend having aftermarket parts installed, due to them being cheaper and typically better designed, we can always source genuine OEM parts if you would prefer us to do so. For any items out of the ordinary that require attention, we’ll give you a call with an over the phone quote on the cost to repair.

Having fair warning allows you to prepare yourself financially before the next service. Perhaps your brakes might not need servicing just yet, but will at the next service interval. In such cases, we’ll include notes of what will need attention at the next service.

Has Your Car Been Playing Up Lately?

After dropping off your vehicle at our workshop, you’ll be given a lift back to work in your own vehicle by the same mechanic who’ll be servicing it. It’s during this time that we like to discuss any problems you’ve experienced with your car since the last service, allowing us to fully explore the problems you’ve described first-hand, such as strange vibrations, rattles or squeaks. Having a mechanic drive your vehicle also allows you to notice any problems that you might not have even been aware of.
