Automotive Computers
Cars today have several Computers which tell different sections of the car what to do. So when an item in your vehicle isn’t working like it should the computers are the first to know. At ACDC we are able to Diagnose all Electronic Fuel Injection Systems, Engine Management Systems, Anti-Lock Braking Systems, Traction Control Systems, Air-Bag Systems, Transmissions and Body/Chassis functions with ElectraJet and EcuXpert. We have several high-end scanners to interrogate the on board systems of all cars. ACDC have an on site testing centre for all Automotive Computers, Injectors and Electronic Modules. Our Mainline DynoLog 2WD, 4WD, AWD Dynomometer has unrivalled diagnostic capacity to determine the best operating condition for your car.
Oil is the lifeblood of your engine. It reduces friction, lessens wear, provides lubrication, forms a seal between the pistons, rings and cylinder walls while helping to cool engine parts. Without the cleaning action of new oil, carbon and varnish buildup would be toxic to the engine. And engine oil even dampens the shock and noise of moving parts.

FAQ
As the type of service or repair to be undertaken varies, so does the time required for each type of service or repair.
However, here at ACDC, we advise our customers of the estimated time necessary to complete the service or repair being undertaken. To achieve this, we rely on “Standard Times” to give our customers a more accurate “Estimate” of the time required.
We use the comprehensive “Solera Autodata” database for these “Estimates”.
We also keep customers informed of progress and advise if there are delays.
When it comes to fault diagnosis, there is no “Magic Bullet”, we advise our customers most standard type cases are completed within 1 hour.
However, this is not always possible with the complexity of modern motor vehicles.
If the diagnosis is unable to be completed within 1 hour, this means the fault or faults are much more complex.
Under those circumstances we will contact you with advice on how to proceed.
Here at ACDC, we always advise our customers of our “Hourly Labour Rate”, which is clearly stated on our “Service, Repair or Diagnosis Agreement each customer must sign.
We use a “Bundy Clock” clocking on and off to give an accurate record of labour time taken.
This combined with our “Hourly Labour Rate” allows the correct calculation of the “Total Labour Cost”.
The type of service, repair or diagnosis needed varies, therefore, the cost for each type of service, repair or diagnosis also varies.
However, at ACDC we advise customers of the estimated time/cost to complete the service, repair or diagnosis being undertaken.
We also keep customers informed of progress, advising them of any delays or possible further works before proceeding.
Yes, just like everyone else we need to be paid for what we do, otherwise we cannot pay our staff, or maintain a viable business.
We use a bundy clock for all service, repair or diagnosis. You will only be charged for the time that we spend either servicing, repairing or diagnosing your vehicle.
