Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even know there is a clutch in your vehicle. But without it, the gears in your car will not change. Xceed Auto Care in West Footscray know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below. What is a clutch? The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to spin, but what happens when your car needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop spinning but the wheels need to. It's the clutch that allows this to happen. The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run. What is clutch fluid? Some vehicles have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. Leaking clutch fluid can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At Xceed Auto Care in West Footscray we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you in the course of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection - which you can request as part of every car service.
 What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing You should have your clutch looked at if: You notice a burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle Your vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason There is jerky or sticky gear operation Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it could mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine. The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is contact us at Xceed Auto Care today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our West Footscray workshop.

The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation.

Your electronic fuel injection (EFI) system is designed to accurately deliver fuel to the engine in a highly efficient manner, helping your vehicle to run smoothly, at peak performance and using the minimum amount of fuel. Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) systems are a fundamental aspect of modern vehicles. These systems are responsible for delivering fuel to the engine in an efficient and reliable manner, allowing your car to run smoothly and perform at its peak, all while using minimal amounts of fuel.  While EFI systems are incredibly important, they are not infallible. As time goes on, your vehicle's EFI system may start to exhibit symptoms of malfunction, making routine maintenance an essential aspect of car ownership.﻿ The Symptoms of an EFI Problem﻿ When it comes to EFI problems, there are several tell-tale signs to be on the lookout for. These signs can include a strong smell of fuel inside your car, the car idling roughly, issues with starting your car, or your car stalling frequently. These are all red flags indicating an EFI system problem.﻿ If You Suspect an EFI Problem﻿ If you suspect your vehicle is having an EFI problem, it's crucial to bring your car in for an inspection before the issue gets worse. At Xceed Auto Care, we understand the importance of reliable transportation, which is why we offer a no-obligation inspection for your vehicle's EFI system. We are located in [suburb], and we serve customers in the surrounding areas. As a Repco Authorised Network of Mechanics, we have all the latest diagnostic training and technical equipment needed to keep your vehicle's EFI system running smoothly and at optimal performance.﻿ Benefits of Choosing Xceed Auto Care Benefits of Choosing Xceed Auto Care We are confident that we can offer you the exceptional care and peace of mind that comes from choosing a trusted independent workshop. When you choose us for your EFI system needs, you can enjoy the following benefits:﻿ Exceptional Care: Our technicians have the necessary knowledge, experience, and equipment to provide top-quality EFI system service.

Our team will help put your mind at ease by offering the Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty, along with the friendly service which comes from dealing with a trusted independent workshop Education: We take pride in providing not just top-quality service but education too. We know the ins and outs of the EFI system and can provide detailed information on the state of your car. Whether you have questions about your EFI system or any other aspect of your vehicle, we are always here to help. Our various EFI services include items such as; Diagnostics, testing and inspection Repairs and replacements Cleaning your Throttle valve, fuel filter and fuel injector Checking sensors Checking engine control unit (ECU) Here's a bit more info about EFI problems and about how we diagnose and fix problems with your EFI; We use special computer Diagnostic equipment to test your car's ECU (electronic control unit). The ECU is basically a central computer which controls (amongst other things) the fuel injection process by taking information from the many sensors spread throughout the vehicle and making “decisions” based on pre-programmed inputs. The ECU can ‘self-diagnose' faults and send out a special fault code which our diagnostic scan equipment is able to extract and interpret. Quite often, the ECU is being given ‘wrong' information by faulty sensors or other environmental factors and this is when we have to call upon our expert knowledge and advanced diagnostic training to correctly identify the problem. Electronic probe testing and visual inspections can be made of your car's sensors, throttle valve, fuel filter, fuel pump and fuel injectors to make sure they are working correctly Any leaks must be located and fixed without delay - Air leaks will seriously affect performance and fuel economy and can cause severe damage to engine components and quite obviously we don't want fuel leaking out anywhere! Over time, Fuel lines, filters and valves can become clogged with contaminants or tank sediments so they'll need to be cleaned or replaced. Where necessary components can be unclogged using special flushing compounds. If any sensors or the lines connecting them to the ECU are damaged they'll need to be fixed or replaced. While your car technically might be able to function without some of these sensors, they all keep track of information that is vital to the efficiency, performance and safety of your vehicle so your ECU will usually not let you run the vehicle until they are fixed and it will often send the vehicle into a state of basic operation known as ‘limp mode' For a high quality Fuel Injection Service at a competitive price, contact us or book online.

Please read the testimonies from our customers.  Excellent service. I got my Audi A6 serviced from Xceed Auto Care last week and I am really happy with their quality of workmanship. I would highly recommend this workshop. Preet looked after my car and he informed me about the extra jobs the costs involved. My car drives like a dream now. Thanks to Preet and his team. James on Google Fixed an Ford EL. Transmission had been mixed with water, the mechanics quoted exact amount and called up to say needed little more work, fair enough. Car is running smoothly. 10/10 - would use again! Technician on Google  Couple of months ago I got some problems with my Kia Prego van. Someone sold me a faulty van, and Xceed fixed it! Very good price, every mechanic here is very good working bee, they said: "Don't lose heart, we will do our best" and they really fixed the Kia! Great service! Awesome! Jogi on Google After taking my vehicle to Xceed Auto Care for a Road Worthy Inspection, they not only located more issues with my vehicle than other service centres, but also fixed all these issues for half the price of other quotes as well. Then on top of that they offered to tweak a few other issues for nearly nothing. My van runs better than it has before and I will continue to see these mechanics. Jordon on Google Definitely exceeded my expectations - Harvey serviced my car. He told me what he'll be checking for and explained to me why each item was important to look at. Not only did I leave the mechanics feeling the difference in the drive and handling of the car, I drove away feeling pretty impressed. Harvey had gone ahead and cleaned both exterior and interior of the car and also changed my wiper blades without the extra cost. Thanks, Harvey! Randy on Google Really positive experience after my service with these guys. For my servicing I was recommended to Xceed Auto Care and David took care of my Lancer Ralliart. I explained what I needed and what needs to be looked at and he did exactly that, the service was all done in a single day too! Everything was checked out, with all parts explained really well - made some great recommendations on what issues needed to be fixed or how long before a part needed replacement. It's rare to find such a trustworthy mechanic such as David who is not only out for my money but genuinely wants to provide top notch servicing and upkeep of my car. After the service my Ralliart's performance was awesome! I could instantly tell while driving that it was smoother, stronger and much more responsive than before. They definitely used some quality products for my car and it shows. They've made me a very happy customer and would recommend Xceed Auto Care to all my friends and family with no hesitation at all. Huy on Google It's really hard to find an honest mechanic who doesn't overcharge, exaggerate or blatantly lie! My experience with mechanics was a horrible one, I had moved from mechanic to mechanic over the years getting ripped off or substandard service everytime it seemed and I was disillusioned with the whole industry, then I met Joe :) Fast forward 10 years and Joe is like a family member now and there is nothing I wouldn't trust him with, he is nice bloke and a great mechanic and if he can do it for free he will! Joe has since retired but the great service and honesty has been instilled in all who worked with Joe and thankfully his legacy lives on in David and crew. Thanks for all the awesome service over the years guys, Joe I hope you have your feet up under a palm tree in the tropical sun somewhere, getting a massage and drinking mango daiquiri, you've earned it old mate :) Brayn on Google Professional, friendly, very knowledgeable about my BMW 325ci, Also happily gave me a ride to and form. I'll be back! Graham on Google My BMW X5 had problems with cooling system. After ripped off by many other mechanics, I was referred to Xceed Auto Care in West Footscray. My car was taken care of by two young boys called David and Preet. The mechanics fixed every bit of the problem at a very reasonable price - much less than what other mechanics had charged me in the past. I've been happy with my car ever since, and now I am a loyal customer of Xceed Auto Care. Good luck boys! Kim on Google My car had been giving me troubles since early 2012 - I even got it repaired from company dealerships several times, but nothing improved. After shelling out 1000's of dollars I decided to go to a private mechanic and a friend of mine referred Xceed Auto Care to me. I dropped of my car with these mechanics and a week later got a call with a message that my car was ready to go. My car is performing excellent since then. A major fault was detected and the same was rectified at a very nominal price - much cheaper than the company dealers. I recommend Xceed Auto Care to every friend of mine. A great team of highly skilled mechanics. Great job boys! Cheers! Peter on Google I got my car serviced at Xceed Auto Care in July this year. I really liked the quality service the mechanics provided and I think it was good value for money. I would recommend Xceed Auto Care, these technicians know what they are doing.
