Roadworthy Inspections
Before you sell, trade or re-register your vehicle, it first needs to be given a roadworthy inspection from a VicRoads licensed vehicle tester, to ensure it meets the standards set by Victorian road laws.
At RNT Mechanical we can conduct roadworthy inspections on all makes and models of light vehicles, LPG-powered vehicles and motorcycles. Once we’re certain it’s up to standard, we can issue you with a roadworthy certificate, allowing you to go ahead with selling or trading your vehicle. We can also conduct pre-purchase inspections for customers looking to buy a used car, for added peace of mind with your purchase.

Brake Repairs
Your vehicle’s brakes are arguably the most important safety feature your vehicle has; being able to bring your vehicle to a stop when you need it is vital to safe motoring. But your brakes also wear out faster than any other area of your vehicle, especially given the stop-and-start nature of urban driving.
We can check for excessive wear and tear in your brakes, replacing worn pads, discs and drums as required. We can also check your brake pedal and hydraulics for issues, replace damaged hosing, and machine new brake pads for your vehicle, restoring any lost stopping power.
If you think your brakes might be showing their age, call us today to organise an appointment!
Steering & Suspension
A host of ride comfort and handling issues can be traced back to your vehicle’s steering and suspension systems, such as body roll when negotiating turns, or a lack of responsiveness in your vehicle’s steering column when on the road.
We’re able to provide a range of services to get your vehicle’s steering and suspension back into shape, from steering wheel and power steering repairs to replacement of key suspension components, including car springs, shock absorbers and bushing. We can also install 4WD upgrades and lift kits for your next offroad adventure.
If your vehicle’s handling or ride comfort is suffering, get in touch with us today for a service!
Clutch & Transmission
Trouble shifting gears or staying in gear is usually indicative of problems somewhere in your drivetrain. If this is accompanied by strange noises or smells from underneath your car, this is likely caused by problems in your transmission, which can become expensive if not discovered and treated early.
We can provide servicing of your vehicle’s transmission, from fluid changes and other drivetrain repairs to replacement of your vehicle’s manual or automatic transmission unit.

Exhaust Repairs
Your vehicle’s exhaust is responsible for drawing spent engine fumes away from the engine and cabin, ensuring that your engine always has a clean, clear supply of fresh air for optimum performance and protecting you and your passengers from exhaust fumes.
We can provide repairs and replacement for your vehicle’s stock model muffler, or recommend from a range of available aftermarket exhaust solutions, including mufflers, headers and extractors.

Radiators & Cooling
Your vehicle’s engine requires a specific range of temperature in which to operate at maximum performance. Conversely an overheating engine can very quickly lead to a breakdown, leaving you stranded. If you find your vehicle is overheating on the road, it’s best to pull over immediately to let your vehicle cool down before any more lasting damage is done, then very carefully drive your vehicle to us at RNT Mechanical for a cooling check.
We can repair or replace damaged radiator units, heater units and thermostats, replace damaged gasket heads, and conduct coolant flushes to clear out anything in your system that might be impeding it from cooling your vehicle.
If your engine’s having trouble keeping its cool, give us a call today!
Air Conditioning
Especially in Australia, having an air conditioning system ready to keep you cool at a moment’s notice is vital to proper driver comfort. But even in the cooler months when your air con goes unused, your system can develop cracks and leaks, which affect your air con’s cooling power when you need it.
We’re able to make repairs to your vehicle’s air conditioning system, from repairing or replacing damaged or faulty air conditioning units and hosing to a complete re-gas of your system once we’re satisfied it’s airtight.

Diagnostics & Auto Electrical
As vehicles become more and more sophisticated with the range of electronic gauges, sensors and monitors checking key areas’ performance, it becomes important for any reputable mechanic to keep up to date with the latest diagnostic tools to effectively locate and repair mechanical problems. And all of this is without mentioning the host of new accessories that have become essential for modern motoring.
Our workshop is equipped with the latest in diagnostic scan tools, allowing us to locate and repair faults more quickly and effectively than other mechanics.
