Whether you're planning a family road trip or need extra capacity for your work vehicle, a GVM upgrade can make all the difference. Nationwide Auto Service Centre offers a range of options tailored to suit different vehicles, ensuring that you get the best solution for your needs. With these upgrades, you can travel with confidence, knowing your vehicle is equipped to handle the extra load.

A GVM upgrade involves increasing the maximum weight a vehicle can legally carry, including the weight of the vehicle itself, passengers, and cargo. This process is crucial for those who regularly travel with heavy loads, whether for work or recreational purposes. By increasing the GVM, you ensure that your vehicle remains safe and compliant with legal regulations while also improving its performance and lifespan.

GVM upgrades are important for several reasons:

Safety: Overloading your vehicle can compromise its safety by affecting its handling and braking capabilities. A GVM upgrade ensures your vehicle remains safe on the road, even with a full load.

Legal Compliance: Operating a vehicle beyond its legal weight limit can result in hefty fines and penalties. A GVM upgrade helps you stay within legal boundaries.

Enhanced Performance: With an upgraded GVM, your vehicle can handle more weight without putting extra strain on its components, leading to better performance and reduced wear and tear.

Peace of Mind: Knowing that your vehicle is equipped to handle the loads you carry allows you to focus on the task at hand, whether it's a job or a road trip.

We offer a range of services to help you achieve the ideal GVM upgrade for your vehicle:

Customised Solutions: Every vehicle is different, and Nationwide Auto Service Centre tailors its GVM upgrade services to meet the specific needs of each customer. Whether you drive a pickup truck or a larger commercial vehicle, we have you covered.

Expert Consultation: Not sure what you need? Our West Gosford workshop's team of experts is on hand to provide guidance and advice, ensuring you make informed decisions about your vehicle's upgrade.

Professional Installation: With years of experience, the technicians at Nationwide Auto Service Centre carry out GVM upgrades with precision and care, ensuring your vehicle is in top condition.

Compliance Certification: After the upgrade, we can provide the necessary documentation to confirm your vehicle complies with all relevant regulations, giving you one less thing to worry about.

Choosing the right GVM upgrade is a vital decision for anyone who frequently handles heavy loads. With Nationwide Auto Service Centre's expertise and friendly service, you can be confident that your vehicle will be up to the task, ready to take on any challenge safely and efficiently.

Catalytic converters are a section in your vehicle exhaust system which are a very critical component for not only vehicle performance but also the environment. They are essentially a chemical reactor that effectively changes toxic emissions into less harmful substances before releasing the result into the air we breathe.

If the catalytic converter fails or becomes inoperative, vehicle performance will certyainly suffer and toxic emissions will be released into the environment. If you are wondering if a catalytic converter can actually fail see this image of one we had in our workshop.

Catalytic converters can become inoperative due to;

Melting as a result of excessively rich fuel mixture

Melting as a result of excessive hydrogen sulphide production caused by high levels of sulphur in the fuel

Being damaged by high hydrocarbon (HC) emissions

Being damaged by oil contamination from engine oil leaked into the exhaust system

Being damaged by silicone contamination from chemical additives or sealants leaked into the exhaust

Being damaged by engine coolant leaked into the exhaust system

Being damaged by carbon contamination caused by excessive short trip driving

Pop into our Gosford workshop and speak to the team at Nationwide Auto to have your catalytic converter checked. We are experts in exhaust systems and can advise you on any aspect of car service or repair you may need.

European and luxury car service in West Gosford

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 Nationwide Auto Service Centre, your trusted local mechanic in West Gosford.

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 Nationwide Auto Service Centre in West Gosford 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 Nationwide Auto Service Centre today.

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.

At Nationwide Auto Service Centre in  West Gosford 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 Nationwide Auto Service Centre 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.
