RWC - Certificate of Roadworthiness in West Footscray In Victoria an RWC, or Certificate of Roadworthiness, is needed before a vehicle can be sold or when it needs to be re-registered.  A Licensed Vehicle Tester must check that your vehicle meets the standards set out under Regulation 220 by the Roads Corporation, or VicRoads, prior to a Certificate of Roadworthiness being issued... Occasionally a Certificate of Roadworthiness is also needed before you can have a defect notice removed from a vehicle or it may be required as part of a required inspection for vehicles such as taxis and buses (which must undergo regular, periodic mandatory Inspections). What does certificate of roadworthiness cover? A roadworthy inspection is not a pre-purchase inspection and does not take into account the overall condition or mechanical reliability of the vehicle. Where a pre purchase inspection giving comprehensive details of the general condition or value of the vehicle is desired, you should consider arranging for a separate independent pre-purchase inspection. A Certificate of Roadworthiness is not a complete assessment of a vehicle's compliance with the Standards for Registration. These standards are generally governed by the Australian Design Rules (ADRs) and are often beyond the scope of a Roadworthy Inspection. As Licensed Vehicle Testers in West Footscray, Xceed Auto Care are able to to issue Certificates of Roadworthiness.

Wheel bearings play a crucial role in the functioning of a vehicle by supporting the axles and enabling the wheels to rotate smoothly...  These components are designed to minimize friction, allowing for the efficient turning of the wheels while bearing the full weight of the car. Essentially, they facilitate the seamless movement of the wheels, ensuring a stable and balanced ride. The importance of wheel bearings cannot be overstated, as they are fundamental to both the performance and safety of any vehicle. Without them, the wheels would encounter significant resistance, leading to potential damage and unsafe driving conditions. They are therefore a critical element of your car's drivetrain and a Wheel bearing failure can be catastrophic, as it will usually result in the axle or wheel collapsing and detaching from the car. Because wheel bearings are usually hidden, it is often a forgotten component in the vehicle, so proper maintenance and regular inspection is important. If you are unaware of any unusual noises or symptoms, be sure to alert the team at Xceed Auto Care in West Footscray so they can investigate thoroughly. Why work with Xceed Auto Care: Peace of mind: Not only are we a Repco Authorised Service Centre, but we have a combined 20 years of experience on our team. From large jobs to small, you know you are in good hands with our mechanics. Ongoing Training: As part of the Repco family, our mechanics are offered training seminars and received service bulletins about the latest diagnostic equipment and vehicle upgrades. Friendly Service: We are not just a shop, but a locally owned and operated community of mechanics who are looking out for our neighbours. Our wheel bearing services include: Repacking and adjustment of wheel bearings (where applicable) Hub Assembly Repairs and Replacement Bearing replacement Wheel bearing failure: symptoms and causes The wheels on your vehicle need to operate in a smooth manner, regardless of surfaces and speeds. When there is damage to the wheel bearings, the drive is no longer smooth as friction will build up. This friction can then break down the wheel bearings and cause wear and tear on the axle. Xceed Auto Care can give you peace of mind by advising you what is causing the loud noise or vibration in your vehicle. It may be time to come in and see our mechanics if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms: Vibrations felt in the foot pedals Vibration in the floor above the wheels Pulling of the car to one side Loud noise coming from the tyres Possible causes of these symptoms: Damaged or leaking seal on the wheel bearings Issues with the hub assembly Lack of grease on the wheel bearings For wheel bearing replacements and routine maintenance in and around West Footscray contact our team at Xceed Auto Care.

Wheel Bearings are the means by which axles and wheels are supported and able to turn freely, with minimum friction and whilst simultaneously carrying the entire weight of the vehicle.

Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.
