Frequently Asked Questions
What does a 4x4 mechanical repair include?
A 4x4 mechanical repair can cover a wide range of services, from suspension and steering adjustments to brake and clutch replacements, engine diagnostics and driveline checks. Unlike general car repairs, 4WD servicing often requires specialist knowledge to handle off-road components, transfer cases and heavy-duty suspension setups. A complete repair will usually involve inspection, fault diagnosis, replacement of worn parts, and fine-tuning to make sure the vehicle is safe and capable both on and off-road.
How often should I service my 4WD?
Most 4WDs should be serviced every 10,000–15,000 km or every 6–12 months, depending on usage. However, if you regularly drive off-road, tow heavy loads, or take long-distance trips in hot, dusty conditions, more frequent servicing is recommended. These conditions put extra stress on suspension, brakes and drivetrain components, so catching issues early can prevent costly breakdowns. Always follow your manufacturer’s logbook schedule as a minimum guideline, then adjust based on your driving habits.
What are common signs my 4WD needs mechanical repairs?
Warning signs include unusual noises from the drivetrain, vibrations when accelerating, pulling to one side when steering, poor braking response, overheating, or a drop in fuel efficiency. Even small issues, like a minor oil leak or a soft clutch pedal, can indicate bigger problems developing. Ignoring these signs may lead to breakdowns far from help — especially risky if you’re off-road. Regular inspections and early repairs are the best way to keep your 4WD adventure-ready.
