Love your engine, let us help you keep it clean.

We only use and recommend penrite engine oil and have done since 2009. Drop in today to make a booking or get a price on your next oil change.

Oil sludge can build up until it eventually blocks oil galleries, preventing the normal flow of oil throughout the engine. Severely reducing the wear protection the oil is there to provide, excessive oil sludge can mean some areas of the engine become 'Starved" of oil meaning required lubrication of moving parts is not occurring and the ability of the engine to "lose" heat is severely restricted. As a result, the engine, radiator and cooling system all have to work harder to produce the same amount of power a well serviced engine would. This usually results in increased wear and component failure across many systems, not just the engine.

You have little control over sump size, engine design or the efficiency of the cooling system in your car, some of the contributors to the formation of sludge, but you can influence many of the other known causes. These include the quality of the oil you use, how often you have your car serviced or by supplementing the recommended service procedures to compensate for the way you use your vehicle, such as having "extra" oil changes between scheduled services.

If your engine feels a little sluggish or you cant remember the last time you had a proper oil change, not just a top up, call us or drop in to J & K's Mechanical and let us check the state of your oil.

Hey guys this is a little pointer just on regular good quality engine oil changes and why it's important.

Differential bushings could be the issue if they are aged, worn or cracked.  They control movement in the joints, absorb road bumps and reduce vibrations and noise while driving or reversing. These are one of many automotive issue we can handle at J & K's Mechanical, your trusted local mechanic in Bundaberg.

It is fair to say that the Ford Territory and Falcon are two of the most popular vehicles on Australian roads. Both of these models are prone to high rates of wear in some rear suspension components, such as the rear differential bushing. This is particularly apparent on vehicles that have travelled high kilometres, have high horsepower or vehicles towing loads regularly.

A tell-tale sign that this bushing is no longer performing as intended is hearing a clunking noise or feeling a jolt under acceleration or when shifting gears from drive to reverse. The primary function of the rear differential bushing is to provide a smooth and quiet transfer of power from the engine to the rear wheels of your vehicle under acceleration.

Should this issue go unresolved it may result in excessive wear on surrounding drive train and suspension components so it is wise and economical to act swiftly should you be experiencing any of these symptoms.

Your local Repco Authorised Service Centre J & K's Mechanical in Bundaberg is experienced in diagnosing and fixing this problem. We can replace your worn rubber differential bushing with a highly durable Nolathane differential bushing specifically designed and manufactured to address this problem and return your vehicle back to its optimum performance.

So, if “clunking” goes with your Territory or Falcon, contact the team at J & K's Mechanical today.

At J & K's Mechanical in  Bundaberg we believe the transmission is an important part of your vehicle.

Without the transmission, your vehicle would not be able to move between gears. The transmission fluid allows you to do this smoothly and also protects the working parts inside your transmission. The transmission fluid doesn't diminish through use. Yet the level should still be checked periodically because if there is a leak, or the fluid level is low, it will harm the internal parts of your transmission.

Transmission fluid can become dirty over time with metal shavings and other particles which will shorten the life of your transmission. Replacing a transmission is a costly exercise and so checking the fluid and replacing it when necessary is a good investment in the long run.

At J & K's Mechanical we provide a full 65 Point Vehicle Condition Report upon request with every full car service - This includes a check of your transmission fluid and we will advise you if we think your fluid needs to be replaced or if a transmission service might be needed.
