As a valued customer, you can trust us to deliver thorough logbook and warranty servicing that not only preserves your car’s performance but also safeguards your manufacturer’s warranty.

At PTJs Mechanical, our commitment is to deliver exceptional service that upholds the integrity of your car’s warranty while keeping it in tip-top running condition. We invite you to experience the confidence that comes with knowing your vehicle is in expert hands.
Hoses, Belts & Lines
When it comes to hoses, belts, and lines, several common issues can arise over time due to wear and tear, environmental factors, and general use. One of the most frequent problems is simply aging. Over time, materials degrade—rubber becomes brittle, metal components corrode, and the overall integrity of these parts diminishes. This degradation can lead to cracks, leaks, and even complete failure if not addressed promptly.
At our service center, we routinely check for these common issues, which include:
- Hoses: Cracking, swelling, leaks, and signs of wear or deterioration.
- Belts: Fraying, cracking, improper tension, and misalignment.
- Lines: Corrosion, blockages, leaks, and signs of physical damage.
By identifying these problems early through regular inspections, we can perform targeted repairs or replacements before they escalate into more significant, costly issues. This proactive approach not only enhances the performance and safety of your vehicle but also helps maintain the longevity of your car’s vital systems.
We offer a thorough maintenance service that ensures both your braking system and battery are in peak condition, enhancing your vehicle’s safety and reliability. Our expert technicians inspect and service key components, from brake pads to battery health, so you can drive with confidence.

Oil & Oil Filter Check
Without sufficient oil, your engine’s moving parts don’t receive the proper lubrication they need to operate smoothly. This lack of lubrication leads to increased friction and heat, which can quickly escalate into severe damage. In extreme cases, the engine components can literally “seize” or lock up—a situation commonly referred to as engine seizure. When this happens, the parts are so overheated and worn that they can no longer move freely, often resulting in irreversible engine damage.
Our oil and oil filter check service is a vital part of our engine maintenance program. By ensuring your engine oil is at the correct level and in good condition, and that your oil filter is functioning properly, we help protect your engine from wear and contamination. This proactive service not only keeps your engine running smoothly but also extends its overall lifespan and maintains performance.
Key Service Points:
Engine Oil Check:
- Level Inspection: Verify that the oil level is within the manufacturer’s recommended range.
- Quality Assessment: Examine the oil for signs of contamination, degradation, or sludge buildup.
- Top-Up Recommendations: Provide a top-up if levels are low, ensuring consistent lubrication.
- Change Interval Advice: Offer guidance on when an oil change is due based on driving habits and manufacturer guidelines.
Oil Filter Check:
- Filter Integrity: Inspect the oil filter for clogging, damage, or wear that could impair its function.
- Efficiency Evaluation: Ensure the filter is capturing contaminants effectively to protect the engine.
- Replacement Recommendations: Advise on timely replacement to maintain optimal engine performance.
- Quality Assurance: Use high-quality, manufacturer-approved filters for maximum protection.
Lights & spark plug Replacements
We ensure your vehicle’s lights and spark plugs are in top condition as part of our comprehensive service. Proper lighting is essential for safety and visibility, while well-maintained spark plugs keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently.
