An intermitting vehicle, poor fuel consumption, trouble starting the engine and general poor performance all point to a potential need for an EFI service.

EFI Service is required whenever a car does not seem to be running at its peak efficiency or when you feel it's fuel economy seems to have dropped. Carbon deposits can form on the engine valves, and their reduced performance ability leads to increased fuel consumption.

Fuel additive type cleaners do not effectively fix the problem as they only clean the injectors and do remove the carbon build which can build up in the more crucial areas of the fuel system. Any benefit you do get from such products is usually marginal and generally short lived.

A good Electronic Fuel Injection service, carried out by qualified mechanics, will ensure that the catalytic converter, the fuel and intake systems, engine valves and combustion chambers are all properly cleaned and are in good condition.

Expressway Automotive mechanics are Auto-Tech trained and use the right equipment to ensure the best results for your car.

 For Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) service in the Seaford Meadows area, bring your car into Expressway Automotive. We provide high quality EFI servicing and can help you sort out many fuel and electronic fuel injector related problems.

When it comes to vehicle maintenance, the suspension system is one of the most crucial components ensuring a smooth and safe ride. At Expressway Automotive in Seaford Meadows, we specialise in providing top-notch suspension repair services, addressing everything from minor tweaks to significant overhauls. 

Understanding the parts of your vehicle's suspension system is essential for recognising when issues arise. Key components include:

Springs: These absorb impacts from road surfaces.

Shock Absorbers/Dampers: These control the springs' movements to provide a smooth ride.

Control Arms: These connect the wheel hub and steering knuckle to the vehicle's frame, allowing for up-and-down motion.

Bushings: These are small rubber or polyurethane cushions that reduce friction between metal parts.

Struts: These combine a shock absorber and a spring to support the vehicle's weight and improve stability.

Regular inspection of your vehicle’s suspension system is essential for safe driving. Some symptoms that may indicate the need for an inspection include:

 Uneven tyre wear: This may suggest misalignment or worn suspension components.

Unusual noises: Clunking or knocking sounds could point to worn bushings or other suspension parts.

Excessive bouncing: If your car continues to bounce after hitting a bump, the shock absorbers or struts may be failing.

Steering difficulties: If you notice pulling to one side or difficulty steering, it could be due to a failing suspension system.

One common suspension issue involves the wear and tear of bushings. While simply replacing the bushing might seem like a cost-effective solution, opting for a complete control arm replacement offers several advantages. A new control arm comes with fresh bushings and ball joints, which can significantly enhance the strength and longevity of your suspension system. At Expressway Automotive, we recommend this comprehensive approach to ensure the robustness and reliability of your vehicle’s suspension.

The Advantage of Complete Control Arm Replacement

Unaligned wheels can significantly impact a car's suspension system, leading to a cascade of issues that affect overall vehicle performance. When wheels are not properly aligned, the suspension components, including shocks, struts, and springs, experience uneven and excessive wear. This misalignment forces the suspension to work harder to maintain stability and comfort, which can lead to premature failure of these critical parts. 

Benefits of our In-House Wheel Alignment Services

Additionally, misaligned wheels cause uneven tyre wear, diminishing the lifespan of the tyres and necessitating more frequent replacements. Proper wheel alignment ensures that the tyres make consistent contact with the road surface, distributing wear evenly and reducing the strain on the suspension system. Consequently, maintaining correctly aligned wheels not only enhances suspension durability but also extends the lifespan of the tyres, ensuring safer and more cost-effective driving.

Expert Technicians: Our skilled technicians have extensive experience in diagnosing and repairing suspension systems.

Comprehensive Services: From minor adjustments to complete control arm replacements, we handle it all.

Quality Parts: We use high-quality parts to ensure your suspension system is durable and reliable.

Customer Satisfaction: Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.

My experience with Expressway Automotive has been quite trustworthy. Jason, Malcolm and the lads do attention-to-detail work and are quite happy to tailor to your needs. Even though I live an hour away, Expressway Automotive in Seaford still remains my number one car service. Lydia Bakirtzakis on Google

We had travelled from Melbourne to Adelaide and then onto our holiday destination of Kangaroo Island. After six lovely days of exploring we returned to Cape Jervis. Shortly after we drove off the ferry an emergency light came on in the car. Referring the car manual it indicated that this was urgent and to contact the dealer immediately. We realised that it was a public holiday in South Australia and therefore couldn't gain assistance. I phoned Melbourne to our dealer and he was unable to assist over the phone as without undertaking a full diagnostic of the Citroen C4 he couldn't tell us what to do but suggested we take notice of the warning and stay over and find a dealer the following day.

We booked into McLaren Vale and I searched the internet for the nearest dealer. I emailed Malcolm Lawrence of Expressway Automotive, 1/7 Seaford Road, Seaford Meadows SA 5169 that Monday afternoon. Being a public holiday I didn't expect a response, I just wanted to let Malcolm know of our dilemma and that we would be in touch Tuesday morning. To my surprise I received an email back that evening indicating that due to our time line we may be best served by attending one of the branches closer to Adelaide and gave details and contact numbers.

Next morning we started the car and the warning light did not come on. We did however decide to drive the short distance to Expressway Automotive. Malcolm greeted us and immediately did a diagnostic on our car. The issue was resolved within an hour and we were confident in taking the long trip back to Melbourne.

In writing this letter as I wanted to make you aware of the generosity, professionalism, service and support to travelers in need, shown by Malcolm Lawrence. It could have been a completely different experience for us, one that resulted in us being stranded for some time while we were fitted into the busy schedule of the business.

Your vehicle has a number of different filters and each one works in a different system in your car. Expressway Automotive knows those systems inside and out. For servicing in Seaford Meadows and surrounding suburbs you can count on us.

Quite simply- a filter traps particles which should not be present in, or could do damage to, the system which it filters. Therefore all filters have a lifespan - once they get congested with the particles they are filtering - replacement is a must. Not replacing filters in your car when they need to be changed can lead to expensive breakdowns in some very important parts of your vehicle.

Oil Filter: Cleans the oil and allows it to flow through the engine better
Air Filter: Traps dirt particles which could damage cylinders, walls and pistons
Cabin Air Filter: Keeps pollen, dust and bacteria out of the ventilation system
Fuel Filter: Filters harmful contaminants which could do damage to carburettors or fuel injectors

Types of Filters in your vehicle include:
